A few more pics from the first week of the new school year. How quickly young people shift into student mode. They've started the year ready to learn, have fun and experience something new, and our educators are showing them the way.

School is in session. Not for our students, of course -- that comes August 24 -- but our teachers, administrators, bus drivers, custodians, maintenance personnel, cafeteria workers and about everyone else employed by LCPS have been in class this week in one (or more) of our professional development and orientation sessions. There's more class time to come between now and students' first day as our folks brush up and gear up for a great school year ahead.

Lenoir County Early College High Schools has generated a long list of attributes over two decades, academic excellence among them; but it might be best known for its nurturing environment. That's no small matter for the 50 freshmen who began classes there this week.

They are 15 years old and in their final year of high school, already connected to college-level classes and closing in on a two-year college degree. And they are not that different from their fellow classmates at Lenoir County Early College High School.

LCPS got its new group of Beginning Teachers off to a great start with three days or orientation, capped by a celebration luncheon Monday where Superintendent Brent Williams and other district leaders welcomed the educators. Beginning Teacher support extends well beyond this month or even this year. LCPS's three-year program includes on-site mentors, professional development and collaboration with exemplary teachers. Administrators, a Beginning Teacher Coordinator and instructional coaches partner with the new teachers and mentors and a close working relationship with North Carolina New Teacher Support, East Carolina University and the N.C. Department of Public Instruction provides additional ongoing support.
