As we complete the first six weeks of the 2025–2026 school year, I am proud to share that our students have achieved an outstanding 97.18 percent attendance rate districtwide. This strong start reflects the commitment of our families, our staff, and most importantly, our students.
Breaking it down by campus, Leverett’s Chapel High School (9-12) recorded a 97.74 percent attendance rate. The 9th grade had a 95.70 percent, grade 10 held steady at 97.23 percent, grade 11 reached 98.67 percent, and grade 12 came in at 98.51 percent! Great job, Seniors!
The Junior High (6-8) posted a 97.4 percent attendance rate across grades 6 through 8. Grade 6 came in at 96.8 percent, grade 7 at 98.2 percent, and grade 8 at 97.2 percent.
Leverett’s Chapel Elementary (K-5), the largest student group, maintained a 96.8 percent attendance rate across kindergarten through fifth grade. Within those grade levels, kindergarten and grade 1 both achieved 97.47 percent, grade 2 came in at 95.2 percent, grade 3 at 97.58 percent, grade 4 at 96.0 percent, and grade 5 at 97.7 percent.
Leverett’s Chapel Elementary (PK) had a 97.16 percent attendance rate.
Attendance matters. Every day in class is an opportunity to learn, grow, and prepare for the future. Consistent attendance is directly linked to academic success, graduation rates, and readiness for college and career. When students are present, they are building the skills and confidence they need to pursue bold futures.
Thank you to our parents, guardians, and community members for prioritizing attendance!
Together, we are proving that a small school can achieve big dreams.

Engaged Learning in Mrs. Batie’s Classroom
At LC, we believe students learn best when they are actively engaged and making meaningful connections across subjects. Mrs. Batie’s class has demonstrated this through a series of creative, hands-on projects that combine history, science, and critical thinking.
As part of the Bluebonnet curriculum, students recently studied the famous works of Michelangelo. To better understand the effort behind the masterpieces of the Renaissance, students taped paper under their desks and drew while lying on their backs, just as Michelangelo would have done while painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. This creative activity brought the lesson to life and quickly became a class favorite.
In science, one of our fourth-grade students brought in a live Anole lizard, along with a mini habitat he created. The class conducted a full observation and recorded their findings in science journals. Just a few days later, he returned with tree frogs and a skink, giving students another opportunity to explore living creatures from our own community. This type of hands-on experience helps build a lasting interest in biology and the natural world.
In another project, students rotated through seven science lab stations to explore the different properties of matter. Understanding matter is a key foundation in science. It allows students to better comprehend the world around them while developing essential skills in observation, communication, and problem-solving.
In a final experiment, students tested the absorbency of different brands of paper towels. After careful testing and even viewing fibers under a microscope, the class determined that Sam’s Club Member’s Mark was the most absorbent, thanks to its thicker and denser fiber structure.
To Mrs. Batie and her students, thank you for your creativity and commitment to learning.

Celebrating Real-World Learning and Student Leadership at Leverett’s Chapel
At Leverett’s Chapel ISD, we are committed to providing students with experiences that build real-world skills and ignite curiosity. I want to recognize the outstanding work happening in Mrs. Greenberg’s Forensic Science class. Students are currently studying entomology and recently participated in a hands-on body farm lab. This activity gives students practical insight into how insects are used in crime scene investigations to determine the time of death. It is a powerful example of how our teachers are preparing students for college, career, and life through innovative instruction.
I also want to commend our High School Student Council for their leadership and effort in preparing for this week’s Homecoming celebration. On Friday, they began decorating the campus and setting the tone for a week full of school spirit and pride. Their dedication reflects the strong character and energy of our student body.
To Mrs. Greenberg’s class and our Student Council, thank you for representing Leverett’s Chapel with excellence.
Great Job, and Go Lions!

We have just completed the first six weeks of the 2025-2026 school year. It feels like yesterday we were hosting Meet the Teacher, and already our students and staff have settled into a strong routine. Thank you to every family and community member who supports our school and our children.
Building a foundation for student success requires steady work and partnership. Our students need adults who lead by example, who model hard work, consistency, and a positive attitude. Success is not a moment. It is a routine built one deliberate step at a time. Please work with us, encourage your children, and support the habits that lead to growth. Your partnership matters.
Next Friday will be a busy and exciting day as we celebrate Homecoming. The schedule is as follows: the Homecoming pep rally will begin at 1:05 p.m.; varsity volleyball will host Union Hill at 4:30 p.m.; junior high football will take on Apple Springs at 5:00 p.m.; and the varsity football game will follow at approximately 7:00 p.m. The Homecoming ceremony, where the king and queen will be announced, will take place at halftime of the varsity game. We hope to see you there to cheer on our Lions!
Thank you for your continued support. Enjoy the weekend, and let us finish these first six weeks strong, TOGETHER!

Our high school girls' book club, led by Mrs. Amaya, continues to grow with 11 members. Last year, the group read Remarkably Bright Creatures. Mrs. Amaya wrote a letter to the author’s publicist, who generously donated books for the club.
This year, Senior Itzel Mata and Mrs. Amaya submitted an essay and were awarded a $500 grant from a book company. The students chose to use part of the funding to purchase books they could read aloud to elementary students.
With support from Ms. Julia, our librarian, they have been visiting kindergarten and first-grade classrooms each week to share stories and encourage a love of reading. Pre-K visits will begin next week.
Here are a few pictures to enjoy.
