October 2025

After an extremely positive start to the school year, October is that time of the year to be intentional, of course, on learning, but also on connection. Connections and partnerships create learning.  The Lone Jack C6 School District has always been defined by the strength of its relationships, of its community. This fall, we’re working to bring “unity” back to the comm-unity by celebrating collaboration between families, staff, and local partners who all share one goal: helping our students achieve.

One of the most meaningful ways we do this is through Parent-Teacher Conferences. These meetings are more than a calendar event, they’re an important aspect of family engagement. Conferences allow us to celebrate progress, identify challenges, and ensure that everyone who cares about a child is pulling in the same direction. When parents and teachers communicate openly and productively, students see that their education matters to the adults in their lives, both at home and at school.

We encourage families to come ready to share what makes their child unique.  Share interests, strengths, and learning preferences. Teachers should offer insights about classroom growth and goals. Together, we can reinforce a student’s confidence, motivation, and achievement.

Beyond the classroom, unity continues to shine through the partnerships that make our district strong. Thank you to all who participated in 2025 Homecoming activities.  What a large turnout in all the week’s activities. I extend a thank you to our Community Roundtable, a group that brings together parent organization leadership and district staff. Their shared vision is to work smarter, not harder and to communicate.  Communication helps ensure that every initiative, event, and opportunity supports our students in the best possible way.  Lastly, to those community public service organizations, LJPD, LJFPD and the City of Lone Jack, thank you for participating in 2025 Walk and Roll to School Day.  Again, our partnerships make us the best place.

As the school year moves forward, let’s keep our focus on connection, care and student growth. The heart of Lone Jack has always been its people, and together, we are stronger. When we bring the “unity” back to the community, we honor our theme: YOU—Your Strength, Our Team, One Purpose.

We invite you to stay connected—attend school events, volunteer your time, and support our students in a way you feel makes a difference. Every act of involvement strengthens our community and reminds us that in Lone Jack, we truly are one team with one purpose.
