The LPS graduation requirements work group, composed of teachers, principals, counselors, and administrators, is studying possible changes to LPS graduation requirements beginning with the Class of 2029 (this year’s 8th graders). The work group is focusing on these five major outcomes: Improving post-secondary matriculation rates  Moving all students closer to the Colorado Higher Education Requirements Ensuring 100% of students are prepared to pursue meaningful postsecondary opportunities Providing educational experiences that are just as competitive and rigorous as those in other metro districts Aligning graduation requirements across LPS high schools Parent and employee input is critical to this process. The LPS learning services department is hosting a series of graduation requirements information and input sessions. LPS parents and employees are invited to attend one of four identical sessions regarding potential changes to graduation requirements. Each session will kick off with a short presentation which will describe the current state of graduation requirements as well as the areas for potential change. Then, attendees will have an opportunity to visit with members of the graduation requirement work group to ask questions and provide input. Members will share input gathered from information and input sessions with the whole workgroup at an upcoming meeting. The sessions are scheduled as follows: Wednesday, November 13, 2024 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Newton Middle School Thursday, November 21, 2024 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Goddard Middle School Thursday, December 5, 2024 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Powell Middle School Wednesday, December 11, 2024 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Euclid Middle School Parents, employees, and students also will be invited to participate in an online survey later this fall.  We hope to see you there!
