📚 Progress worth celebrating!

From kindergarten through graduation, LPOSD students are achieving some of Idaho's strongest literacy outcomes, and we have plenty to celebrate!

🥇 Kindergarten: #1 statewide on the Idaho Reading Indicator (IRI)
🥇 1st Grade: #1 among traditional districts on the IRI
🥈 Districtwide: #2 on the IRI among Idaho's 25 largest traditional districts
⭐ ISAT English Language Arts: #4 among Idaho's 25 largest traditional districts
🎓 Graduating Readers: 100% of our 2025–26 graduates achieved reading proficiency!

These achievements reflect years of intentional instruction, early identification of reading needs, targeted interventions and collaboration. Behind that work are dedicated educators, including our school-based literacy teams and district instructional coaches, working together to help students become confident, successful readers. 💚

October was Dyslexia Awareness Month, and throughout the month we highlighted the people, practices and community partnerships behind our districtwide literacy efforts. We're bringing the full series together here to celebrate how all these pieces contribute to student success.

While October has come to an end, our commitment to literacy continues every day, in every school, as we work toward one shared goal:

Every Student Graduates a Reader!

We are aware of an incident this morning involving an LPOSD school bus that was rear-ended by another vehicle on division street. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.

Law enforcement responded to the scene, and all students and staff are safe. We appreciate the quick response of those involved.
