District Superintendent

Message from the Superintendent 2025-2026

Welcome to the La Center School District and thank you for visiting our website.

We are excited to begin the 2025–2026 school year and to welcome both new and returning students to our schools. As always, our primary focus remains on student learning. This includes continued investment in adult learning—our teachers and administrators have spent the summer engaged in professional development to refine their instructional practices and prepare for a strong academic year.

We remain deeply committed to the power of family-school partnerships. When families and educators work together, student outcomes improve. We will continue to serve all students, regardless of circumstance or ability, by focusing on their strengths, building courage, and supporting their willingness to learn. Together, we can provide every student with the opportunity to thrive.

School Start Times for 2025–2026

• Elementary (K–5): 7:45 AM – 2:15 PM

• Middle School (6–8): 8:50 AM – 3:20 PM

• High School (9–12): 8:45 AM – 3:15 PM

Right At School: Before and After Care for Elementary Students
We are pleased to begin our partnership with Right At School, a fee-based before and after school care option for elementary students. This program provides a safe and structured environment for children outside of the school day. Registration information can be found on our district website or by contacting the elementary office.

Chromebook Assurance Program – Middle and High School Only
To help manage the cost of lost or damaged Chromebooks, we continue to offer the Chromebook Assurance Program for middle and high school students. This optional program costs $15 per student and helps cover repair or replacement fees. Elementary students are not assigned specific Chromebooks and are not included in this program. Please contact the District Office if you have any questions.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We look forward to a successful school year as we work together to support every student, every day.

Sincerely,
Peter Rosenkranz, Superintendent
La Center School District
