DISTRICT ANNOUNCEMENTS

January 2026
 
Happy New Year!
 
As we celebrate the accomplishments of 2025 and look forward to the promise of 2026 it is important to note that we have so much to be proud of.  The Lackawanna Trail School District has consistently held the bar high for academics, extracurricular activities, the performing arts, and athletics.  We will continue this in 2026 with your help and support.  Lion pride is strong due to a collaborate effort among students, teachers, the administration, and parents.
 
In a few weeks the second marking period will conclude, and we will begin the second half of the academic year.  I encourage all students to revisit goals and establish routines for the third and fourth marking period.  
 
Investments which benefit our students have been plenty.  In particular, all of our elementary students returned from winter break to new classroom desks and chairs, enhancing the academic environment.  The original set lasted more than three decades, and I’m confident with good care and maintenance we can expect the same of these.
 
As winter charges forward, please take time to review the guidelines in both the elementary and junior-senior high school for Flexible Instruction Days (FID):  
 
 
We will continue to blend these with traditional snow days when inclement weather adversely impacts us.
 
Let’s have a productive new year!
 
 
Sincerely,
 
Matthew Rakauskas
