Teachers from Lauderdale County Schools’ 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) and LEAPS before- and after-school programs attended professional development session on Tuesday, October 31. “What First Year Teachers Need to Know”, facilitated by Mr. Texas Culver of UTM- Ripley’s Education Department, provided opportunities to discuss UTM’s Educator Preparation Program (EPP) design for undergraduate students pursuing careers in the field of education. These experienced teachers were able to share about their first year teaching experiences and provide recommendations for curriculum design that would best support these future educators. Many ideas, thoughts, and perspectives were shared with Mr. Culver for consideration during UTM’s EPP curriculum development process to ensure that first year teachers are successful from their first day of school through their careers.
As a reminder, Lauderdale County Schools will not be in session on Wednesday, November 1, 2023, due to staff Professional Development.

Music stimulates Learning
Research shows that music reduces stress while stimulating happiness, which in turn helps students better concentrate on the task at hand, especially when learning.
With this knowledge, Mr. Tommy Durham, Site Director for the Project LEAD program, invested in electronic keyboards for Ripley Elementary School students. Almost twenty years later, these keyboards are still a favorite among students in the after school program. The program team hopes this new music genre will increase student focus and inspire creativity.

Parents and Guardians,
We are excited to announce that today we have launched our school-wide fundraiser! Our goal is to raise funds for our school by selling delicious World Finest Chocolate bars. The money raised will be used for general purpose materials, school improvements, and incentives to reward academic achievement or PBIS.
Your child should have received a handout that they need you to sign if you give them permission to sell the chocolate bars. We encourage you to reach out to businesses, churches, and family members to support their efforts. The handout also provides information about the exciting prizes that students can win.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the school or send an email to Dr. Comer at heathercomer@k12.lced.net.
Thank you for your support!
Happy Selling!
📣 Attention Parents and Community Members! 🏫
I want to inform you all that the main entrance to Ripley High School is currently undergoing construction. As a result, we kindly ask for your patience during the upcoming months.
For the time being, visitors will need to enter the school through our temporary office. To make this process smoother, we request that you park your vehicles on the northern end of the parking lot, as this will be the designated entrance for the temporary office.
To better understand the changes, I have included a video for your reference on our social media site. Feel free to check it out! 🎥
Parents, please remember to drop off car riders at the gym to avoid any disruptions in the bus drop-off area. We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring the safety and efficiency of our school operations.
Thank you all for your incredible patience and ongoing support. Together, we will navigate through this construction period and continue providing the best education for our students. #GoTigers
