4 Corners December

4 Corners A Publication of Lauderdale County School District Volume II Issue 5 December 2014 LCSD 1st Semester a Success The 2014-2015 school year is almost half over. We can all agree the first semester has certainly been filled with challenges. Teachers were expected to handle the mandates of a new curriculum and the first round of live Common Core state testing, in addition to the day-to-day situations that come with running a school and/or classroom. However, in looking back, I am so proud of our teachers, administrators, and staff. As I visit schools I see first hand how well each of Randy Hodges, Superintendent you has handled the stress placed in your path. One thing we can be assured of is that the demands we face will continuously change. The way we handle ourselves as a school and district define who we are and what we are about. I am extremely proud to be a part of such a great school system. We may not know what the future holds, but we will keep moving forward despite the adverse situations placed in front of us. I want to take this opportunity to wish each of you a safe and happy holiday season. May you take time to remember the things most important and spend time with family and friends. Merry Christmas!
