What is a Paraprofessional?
A paraprofessional is a specially trained and certified educational worker who helps teachers and students in the classroom. They provide instructional support to teachers and students, helping them understand and learn different subjects like math, science, English, and social studies.
Paraprofessionals are a valuable part of the education process. They help to ensure that instruction is efficient and effective by providing support in several ways. Their main responsibilities involve assisting with instruction, providing support during testing, working with students with special needs, managing classrooms, and generally bringing positive energy into the learning environment.
Paraprofessionals may also help with other tasks such as grading papers, preparing materials for lessons, supervising students during lunch or recess, or providing guidance to students who need extra help. They are an important part of the school’s staff and play an essential role in helping create a safe learning environment for all students.
LCUSD #9 will be closed on Monday, January 15th in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr day.

Happy New Year Lebanon! We would like to invite everyone to the Dustin Brown Memorial Concert. Current and past students, members of the community and surrounding areas have prepared a night of tribute to one of our dedicated members through music. Dustin loved life, friends and family. He devoted his life to helping others and putting joy into their lives. We would like to carry on that devotion by creating the Dustin Brown Memorial Scholarship Fund. The scholarship will be to financially help a future band member attend the band trip taken every four years. Everyone is welcome and admission is by donation. We hope to see you there!
