During the 2023-2024 school year, through communication, collaboration, and creativity Lugoff-Elgin Middle School assisted all students in developing world class skills and life and career characteristics represented in the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate
Communication continued to be a focus to connect with students, teachers and families. We continued to work on our parent/school relationships as we worked to improve absenteeism rates and skill gaps in math, reading, and science. We continued training and implementation of rotation stations and project-based learning and deep diving into data to improve our Tier 1 instruction as well as additional support through Tier 2 and Tier 3 instruction using MTSS. Teachers and parents continue to be challenged by school and district administration to become innovative in finding measures to engage students and keep them active in instruction and learning, to harness more effective means of communication, and to celebrate successes in new ways.
School administration and support services’ involvement in meeting students’ social-emotional needs continued to expand with more school and district based resources being made available to students, families and staff. Striking a balance among teacher-parent, administrator-parent, and school counselor-parent contact remained a priority. For the benefit of our students, our growth in this area has evolved throughout the year and will be ever-changing to meet the needs of our school and community.
Lugoff-Elgin Middle School continues to support and encourage students to develop world class skills and characteristics associated with the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate. Students learn the value of collaboration, communication, and creativity as they participate in a variety of programs, courses, and activities at Lugoff-Elgin Middle School.
