Please note that we have a new traffic flow for parent drop off and pick up. Students will still be dropped off at the front of the school, but cars will now wind through the new parking lot to get to the front of the school. Students should not be dropped off in the parking lot unless accompanied by an adult to the front doors. Thank you for helping us keep all students safe!

𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆: We are excited about the significant improvements we have made at Long Branch Elementary School. Our school board invested a significant amount of money to make things better for our students by replacing all of the lights inside the building, adding a new parking lot so visitors do not have to park on the road, and adding a new playing field for our students to enjoy at recess. We even replaced the playground equipment and added some shade structures there for those hot days. In addition, we replaced all of the student and teacher furniture inside of the building, we faced delays in receiving the furniture and need to make a change to our open house schedule. We will not be able to accommodate visitors during the scheduled times tomorrow. Unfortunately, we must change the open house times to begin at 5:00 PM and end at 7:00 PM tomorrow. This will allow the furniture company to get the furniture assembled during the day tomorrow and help us be ready for your visit at 5:00. This change is for Long Branch Elementary only. All other school open houses will remain as scheduled. We apologize for this late notice and for this change, but we feel it is safer to delay the open house a few hours than it is to have our visitors intertwined with the 30 furniture company employees working. We hope to see you tomorrow at 5:00 PM as we kick off a great year at Long Branch!

Due to guidance released just yesterday from the Georgia Department of Education, we are currently amending student schedules at all three of our elementary schools. Please allow our administrators and registrars through the weekend to make the necessary changes. Contacting the school by phone or email to ask about your child's teacher will only slow down the process. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Even with this delay, we are excited for the new school year and for you and your child to meet teachers Tuesday during our elementary open house! In fact, to accommodate work schedules, we've added an additional time for Elementary Schools Open House from 5:00-6:00 PM that evening. #TR1BE

Our 2021-2022 LCSS Open House schedule is posted. We aren't wishing away summer, but we are busy planning for the new school year! Come join us on August 3 (elementary school) or August 4 (middle and high school) to meet your teachers and more! #FocusedForward #TR1BE

Happy 4th of July! We hope you are celebrating with your families! To add to your celebration, the school system is using CARES funds to provide ALL school supplies for ALL LC students this year! Check out the supplies students will receive for their classes. #TR1BE

It might be summertime, but we are already gearing up for the 2021-2022 school year! Join us at the Board of Education office on Wednesday, June 23rd at 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM for our Stakeholder Feedback Federal Programs and Proportionate Share of Federal Funds meetings. We want to hear from our parents and get your input on these district and school level plans for next school year. We are #BetterTogether, and your input and feedback is valued in the LC TR1BE!

We are sad to see our 5th graders leave, but had fun celebrating them with awards day and their final walk today! Good luck in Middle School!

Thanks to the Tomato House for providing a Kona Ice surprise for our 5th graders today!
