LPS Mission Statement
Ledyard Public Schools provides every child with the experiences, supports, and opportunities necessary for life and success in our diverse and evolving world.
LPS Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Statement
Ledyard Public Schools will hold itself accountable, at every level, to intentionally allocate resources and expand opportunities to achieve equitable student outcomes. We acknowledge that systemic injustices exist and must be eradicated. As a public school district, we recognize our collective power to make change and improve student experiences. That power includes validating injustices, recognizing the value of diversity, and embracing policies and practices that ensure ALL students, especially those who have been historically marginalized based on race/ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender, age, socio-economic status, immigrant status, educational status, or religion have equitable experiences that eliminate the opportunity gap.
LPS Core Values
Belonging- Our schools promote and instill a sense of belonging for all by creating a safe, caring, respectful environment where diversity is acknowledged, encouraged, and celebrated.
Partnerships- Our schools reflect the beliefs, values, and aspirations of the community and are most successful when true partnerships exist within and beyond our schools.
Learning- Our schools provide multiple opportunities within and outside the classroom for rigorous and relevant learning experiences that allow students to develop and pursue their passions.
Critical Thinking- Our schools encourage students and staff to ask questions, explore, and persevere to advance understanding and solve problems.
Achievement- Our schools support students to achieve academically, socially, and emotionally, while developing the skills necessary for learning and success throughout one’s lifetime.
