A Note From Mrs. Bowden...

As Leadership Prep continues to grow, so does our commitment to ensuring that every student receives the support they need to grow. The LPS Student Services Department plays a vital role in providing a range of resources directed at promoting academic, social, and emotional well-being.

Whether through our Social Workers, special education services, or student support programs, the Student Services team works collaboratively with families, teachers, and administrators to create an inclusive and nurturing environment for all.

As we expand, we remain focused on enhancing our services to meet the diverse needs of our students. Together, we are committed to fostering a community where every student can succeed and feel supported on their education journey.

Please enjoy the first LPS Student Services newsletter.

Yearbook!

#LionSTRONG

Lion Nation,

If you have not heard already one of our own students, Celeste Ocampo (12th Grade), received the horrible diagnosis of stage 2 Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She is the captain on the girl varsity volleyball team and the week prior to receiving the diagnosis she committed to playing D1 volleyball at Binghamton University. We wanted to do something to help and show our support as a community by selling a shirt and proceeds of the sale will go towards Celeste’s treatment. Please click the link to purchase a shirt and show your support! https://lpspurpleforceleste.itemorder.com/.

9 Week Habits to Learn About & Practice

Habit #1 Means:

I am in charge of the choices I make.
I can react to things happening around me, like a soda bottle fizzing over, or I can Be Proactive and choose my mood and attitude.
I can do the things I need to do without being asked by my teacher or parent.

Habit #5 Means:

I listen to others without interrupting.
I raise my hand when I want to speak and I wait to be called on.
I don't blurt out.
I try to understand other people's views and feelings, even if they are different from my own.
