To make up missed instructional time due to January's inclement weather, LCPS has made an update to the school calendar.
On a warm January day, students from every grade level across Lenoir County Public Schools gathered together at the Kinston High School performing arts center to showcase their science fair projects. These students won the science fair at their individual school, and this was a chance to highlight their success and demonstrate ingenuity among LCPS students.
Due to the forecasted inclement weather, Lenoir County Public Schools will be closing at noon for all students and staff on Tuesday, January 21, 2025. LCPS will also be closed for all students and staff members on Wednesday, January 22, 2025.
Just before winter break, 15 elementary students got the surprise of a lifetime- a brand new bicycle, picked out just for them. These students worked hard to improve their math skills for a chance to win a bike, but the kids didn’t know they were one of the most improved math students at their school until they saw the prize first-hand.
Like every other school system in North Carolina and many across the nation and around the world, LCPS has been notified by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction that a data breach has occurred involving the vendor for student information data management used by North Carolina's public schools, a company called PowerSchool.
There is nothing NCDPI, LCPS or any of the school systems across North Carolina could have done to prevent this incident, as neither we, nor DPI, have access to where the breach occurred. Protecting student and teacher data continues to be a top priority for the NC Department of Public Instruction and for our school system. We will provide updates when any new information becomes available.
Lenoir County Public Schools is proud to announce that the Lenoir County Education Foundation awarded 97 mini-grants across 16 schools in December. There were over 200 mini-grant applications submitted, and teachers could apply by themselves or as a group.
