Our writing center is now open for asynchronous submissions! Students can submit to our Asynchronous Form to receive writing feedback from a trained student tutor (find the QR code outside of 1402!). In person tutoring will start up next week... stay tuned for the fun!

Had a wonderful time co-presenting with @georgia_tsin at #InspireLoudoun! Loved discussing how conferencing can be a great classroom practice for giving effective feedback 📚

Proud to be a part of @Lightridge_LCPS’s first graduation ceremony 💙🧑🏽‍🎓💛 Looking forward to seeing what amazing accomplishments these young people achieve in their futures.

Best way to celebrate the end of the school year: reading student signatures in my yearbook (and ugly crying). 💙💛 Grateful for Year 4: it brought amazing students and coworkers into my world.

[Mrs. Cleary @MrsClearyReads]

Ending the year celebrating the relationships we’ve cultivated 🥳 After analyzing author’s purpose in Nobel Prize acceptance speeches, students created paper plate awards for each other & wrote their own acceptance speeches. Going to miss these scholars! 💛💙@Lightridge_LCPS

[Mrs. Cleary @MrsClearyReads]

Secret’s out 😅 This was so much fun! Next year let’s add party hats, @payersedu

✨English 10 Super Secret Awards Ceremony

📚A few weeks ago the English 10 CLT felt limited by how many Ss they could recognize at the underclassmen awards ceremony so they decided to host their own ceremony recognizing students for their contributions this SY. It was BEAUTIFUL.
