According to a Facebook post, the Lassen County Office of Education was excited to welcome about 20 new teachers for our Kicking the School Year Off Right workshop.

Educators spent the day building their toolboxes with practical strategies for creating a positive climate for learning, proactive classroom management, and planning for student success.

We are so excited to welcome these educators into classrooms throughout Lassen County and wish them an incredible 2026–27 school year.
