LSPS is committed to giving all students and staff a true vacation this Spring Break. Put away your phones, Chromebooks, homework, grading, assignments, and email, and enjoy time away. We encourage students to fully embrace this time for relaxation and rejuvenation. Take a break from screens, reconnect with loved ones, and indulge in activities that bring joy.
If you must cheat and make one exception to this ask, 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹@𝗹𝘀𝗽𝘀.𝗼𝗿𝗴. What are your plans for Spring Break? Did you get lost in a good book? Were your toes in the sand? Are you visiting a theme park with family? We want to see your photos!
And since we have a few hours before break, we wanted to share a few photos of our districtwide 1:1 Chromebook initiative, designed to cultivate learning.
Lake Shore Public Schools knows the importance of technology in the education system today. Using district-issued Chromebooks, students of all ages can engage with learning through methods of videos and online resources. Students are able to guide themselves through their own assignments and work at the pace that bests match them, allowing for more successful learning in the classroom.
Teachers continue to incorporate Schoology in the classroom. Schoology, as their website defines, is the only learning management system (LMS) that connects all the people, content, and systems that fuel education. Lake Shore Public Schools has fully adopted Schoology as its districtwide LMS because of its intuitive learner-centric design, its ability to support different teaching methods, and its strong integration capabilities.
By taking a break from technology next week, you'll have time for self-care, connection, and creativity. Remember to set boundaries, create no-tech zones, take a tech-free day, find alternative activities, and be mindful of your technology use.
