Small School, Big Opportunities
📅 Date: Tuesday, November 10th
🕕 Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
📍 Location: Lyman Memorial High School | 917 Exeter Road, Lebanon, CT
Lyman Memorial High School proudly serves not only the Lebanon community, but also families from surrounding towns seeking a dynamic and student-centered high school experience. Whether you're already part of our school family or exploring options for your child’s future, we invite you to come see what sets Lyman apart. Come see what makes Lyman a Small School with Big Opportunities!
I am excited to share that Lebanon Public Schools was recently featured by Savvas Learning Company in a national School Success Story, “Lebanon Public Schools: A New Chapter in Reading Success.”
The feature highlights the thoughtful, collaborative work of our educators to strengthen literacy instruction through the implementation of myView Literacy and a Science of Reading-aligned approach. It recognizes the leadership of our instructional team, the important role of teacher voice in selecting and implementing the program, our commitment to ongoing professional learning, and—most importantly—the growth we are seeing in our students.
In just the first year, Savvas highlights significant gains in foundational reading skills, including kindergarten students increasing from just 2% demonstrating sound-blending skills at the beginning of the year to 70% by year’s end, along with some of our strongest preliminary third-grade state assessment results in years. This recognition is a wonderful reflection of what can happen when our educators work together around a shared commitment to improving outcomes for every learner.

Small School. Big Opportunities. Bright Futures.
Last night was a special evening for Lebanon Public Schools as we officially celebrated the Lyman Memorial High School Welding Pathway with our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony!
At the center of the celebration were our students. Our current welding pathway students and student ambassadors did an outstanding job welcoming guests, leading tours, and sharing the opportunities now available to students right here at Lyman.
We were honored to celebrate alongside students, families, community members, our Board of Education, and industry and educational partners from General Dynamics Electric Boat, Collins & Jewell, the Eastern Connecticut Workforce Investment Board, and UConn Navy STEM Coalition.
We were also grateful to be joined by Lebanon First Selectwoman Kathleen Smith, State Representatives Mark DeCaprio and Tim Ackert, State Senator Cathy Osten, and Congressman Joe Courtney. Their presence, along with that of our many community and industry partners, reflects the collaboration that makes opportunities like this possible for our students.
One of the special moments of the evening was receiving an Official Citation from the Connecticut General Assembly recognizing Lebanon Public Schools for our commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for students to pursue high-demand careers in manufacturing and the defense trades. Pictured here, some of the students who will benefit from those opportunities proudly hold that recognition.
This pathway is about much more than welding. It is about connecting learning to opportunity, providing students with authentic career pathways, and ensuring that when they leave Lebanon Public Schools, they are prepared to take their next step with confidence and purpose.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped turn this vision into a reality and especially proud of the students who will carry it forward.
Small school. Big opportunities. Lasting impact.
We Grow Learners. We Cultivate Leaders. We Create Legacies.

A great school day starts with being fueled and ready to learn! We want to make sure all of our LPS families know that every student can enjoy school breakfast at no cost, every school day.
Currently, about 20% of our students participate in school breakfast, and we’d love to see even more students take advantage of this opportunity!
⚡ A few things to know:
🍳 Breakfast is FREE for every student
🥣 Students can enjoy a variety of breakfast options
⏰ Students arriving late can still receive breakfast until 9:00 a.m., if needed
🍌 Even if your child brings something from home, they are still welcome to receive a school breakfast at no cost
Help us spread the word and encourage your child to give school breakfast a try!
Free breakfast. Every student. Every school day. 💙💛

Finding the Magic in the Mess!
What a way to kick off the 2026–2027 school year!
A huge thank you to Phil the Magic Man for joining us at our Lebanon Public Schools Convocation and bringing our theme, “Magic in the Mess,” to life. Through humor, mentalism, audience participation, and plenty of surprises, Phil reminded us that things don’t always have to go exactly as planned for something pretty amazing to happen.
That feels like a perfect message as we begin a new school year. In education, the “mess” is often where the learning, growth, connection, and yes, the magic, happens.
Thank you, Phil, for helping us start the year with laughter, energy, and a little wonder!
We Grow Learners. We Cultivate Leaders. We Create Legacies.

Please be advised that parking lot and roadway maintenance will begin at Lebanon Elementary School and Lebanon Middle School on Friday, July 31. During this time, there will be limited access to the roadways and parking areas while preparations are made for the application of a new seal coat.
This maintenance includes seal coating the entire parking lots and roadways. It is essential that no vehicles or pedestrian traffic enter the closed areas during the curing process, as doing so could damage the new surface and delay the completion of the project.
The work will be starting on Friday, July 31 with limited access (for custodial/maintenance staff only) to the parking lots and road ways. The entire parking lot and all roadways at both schools will be closed beginning Saturday, August 1, and will remain closed through Sunday, August 2. The parking lots and roadways will reopen on Monday, August 3, after the seal coat has had sufficient time to properly cure. In addition to the seal coating the line striping will be taking place on Tuesday, Aug 4th. This is subject to change based on weather.
The crack filling will be taking place on Tuesday Aug, 4th at Lyman, this material is able to be driven on relatively quickly after its application. Once the crack filling has been completed the Lyman parking lot will be seal coated on Wed Aug, 5th. Access to the parking lot and different spaces will be limited. Please pay close attention to detours and temporary signage. This work is all subject to change based on weather conditions, we will try to send out updates if these dates are to change.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we complete this important maintenance to preserve the condition and longevity of our campus roadways and parking areas.
Thank you,
John Jarvis

Where the journey began... and where the legacy continues.
The halls of Lebanon Elementary School welcomed back some familiar faces as the Lyman Memorial High School Class of 2026 participated in the annual Senior Walk.
As they retraced the steps they once took as young students, our seniors served as role models and inspiration for the next generation of Lebanon learners. Full circle moments like these remind us that education is about more than graduation, it's about growth, connection, and lasting impact.
💙 Congratulations, Class of 2026!

Lebanon Public Schools is proud to recognize six outstanding students who were honored at General Dynamics Electric Boat's 2026 Groton Signing Day at the Garde Arts Center!
These students have demonstrated dedication, perseverance, and a commitment to developing the technical and professional skills needed to succeed in one of Connecticut's most important industries. Their recognition represents more than a job opportunity, it marks the beginning of promising careers in advanced manufacturing, engineering support, and skilled trades that help build our nation's submarine fleet.
Yesterday's celebration was a testament to the power of career-connected learning and the strong partnerships between our schools, industry leaders, and workforce development organizations. Through experiences in our career pathways and technical programs, students are discovering opportunities that lead directly to meaningful careers after graduation.
We are incredibly proud of these students for taking this exciting next step and representing Lebanon with pride. Their success reflects our commitment to ensuring every student is prepared for learning, life, and work beyond school.
Please join us in congratulating these future Electric Boat team members and wishing them continued success as they embark on this exciting journey!

Students had the opportunity to work side-by-side with our Agricultural Science & Technology Education students as they planted sunflower seeds, explored the growing process, and got their hands dirty in the best way possible. From filling pots with soil to watering their newly planted seeds, our youngest learners experienced the joy of hands-on learning and meaningful mentorship.
This collaboration is a wonderful example of how Lebanon Public Schools continues to grow learners, cultivate leaders, and create legacies through authentic experiences and cross-grade connections. A huge thank you to our ASTE students and staff for organizing such a fun and engaging activity for our elementary students!
We can’t wait to see those sunflowers bloom! #LebanonPublicSchools #GrowLearners #CultivateLeaders #CreateLegacies #ASTE #HandsOnLearning #SunflowerChallenge

Students had the opportunity to connect directly with local manufacturing employers, learning about career pathways, workplace opportunities, and the many benefits these companies offer their employees. We are especially excited to share that two of our students earned interviews with potential employers as a result of the event!
Beyond networking, students participated in a variety of engaging, hands-on learning experiences including:
🔹 Mock interviews with personalized feedback to strengthen interview skills
🔹 A LEGO blueprint and assembly competition to test teamwork and problem-solving
🔹 A financial literacy presentation focused on real-world readiness
🔹 Nine different VR career exploration activities
🔹 Hands-on experiences inside a mobile manufacturing lab
This event provided students with meaningful exposure to high-demand career opportunities while helping them build important workforce readiness skills. Experiences like this continue to support our mission to prepare every student for learning, life, and work beyond school.
Thank you to the organizers, presenters, and local industry partners who made this amazing experience possible for our students!
