The Lebanon School District has transformed its literacy education over the past four years by adopting a Structured Literacy approach rooted in the Science of Reading. Using evidence-based programs like UFLI Foundations, teachers provide explicit phonics instruction that has led to remarkable results. Notably, the percentage of kindergarteners meeting literacy benchmarks jumped from 44% to 89% during the 2024-25 school year.

Beyond phonics, the district introduced the Arts and Letters program to build background knowledge and vocabulary. This student-centered model combines systematic whole-class lessons with small-group instruction tailored to individual needs. Supported by ongoing professional development and a common language among educators, Lebanon is successfully outperforming national averages for reading growth and achievement. By fostering a collaborative effort between schools and families, the district is building a community of confident, lifelong readers.

Good morning Lebanon School Community,

I hope you had a restful February break. It is wonderful to see everyone back at school today.

I want to remind you that on Tuesday, March 10, our community will vote on the Lebanon School District budget and warrant. Throughout the budget process, we have kept one guiding principle at the heart of our work: students first. From the beginning, our proposed budget was designed to support high-quality instruction, safe and welcoming learning environments, and the skills outlined in our Vision of a Learner, ensuring every student is challenged to reach their full potential.

Are You Concerned About Your Child’s Development?

If you live in the City of Lebanon and your child is between the ages of three and five, we would like to determine whether your child qualifies to receive services.

Depending on the area(s) of concern, the Lebanon School District may conduct screening in various developmental areas to determine whether a more comprehensive evaluation is needed.
