Lighthouse Public Schools has published the 2025 Federal School Report Card, as required under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). This report provides important information about our district and campuses, including student performance, academic progress, and other accountability measures.

As you prepare for the first day of school, remember that traffic will be heavier across the city, and there will be both pedestrians and vehicles moving throughout our parking lot. Preparation is key to a successful first day—and it also helps us keep our campus safe and neighbor-friendly.

Here are a few important reminders:
✅ Be courteous and respectful to others in the parking lot.
✅ Do not block neighborhood driveways—our residents need to get to and from work.
✅ Driveline numbers will be handed out by staff during morning drop-off.
✅ Student drop-off begins at 7:15 AM.
✅ Follow all one-way signs for entering and exiting the parking lot. (See the included parking lot diagram.)

This information along with other important first day of school information is located on our website at www.lighthousesa.org,

💙 Thank you for helping us start the year smoothly and safely!

Wednesday at Learning Alive, our young explorers dove into the fascinating world of spiders! From spinning webs to spotting eight-legged creatures in their natural habitats, students spent the day finding, identifying, and experiencing spiders up close.

With curiosity as their compass, campers learned about spiders, their adaptations, and the important role they play in nature. Hands-on exploration brought science to life—proving once again that learning is always more exciting when it's alive!
