The Orange County Department of Education is gathering nominations for its annual Counselor Recognition Program.

Established in 2018, the awards program spotlights outstanding local school counselors and school counseling advocates who consistently go above and beyond to support students, staff, schools, and families. 

Nominations for 2022 are due by Jan. 28, and the winners will be announced during National School Counseling Week, which is Feb. 7-11.

The LBUSD Board Recognition event scheduled for Tuesday, January 25, 2022, has been postponed until further notice. Once the new date has been established, we will inform the community. 

Dear Laguna Beach Unified Families,

We are thrilled to welcome you back and wish you all a happy new year.  We hope you are relaxed, recharged, and ready to kick off the second half of the 21-22 school year strong.  We are honored to be a part of a fantastic learning community full of caring and compassionate students, parents, and staff.  We welcome and value your positive energy and dedication towards ensuring a school community that celebrates diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The annual Holiday Boutique today was a huge success, where students sold items from handmade ornaments and crafts to keychains and soap (and a whole lot in between!) Our students raised $3,360 today for Surfrider Foundation.

We are pleased to announce that LBUSD will be allowing a limited number of Tier I and Tier II volunteers on our campuses. Out of an abundance of caution, LBUSD is only accepting applications from individuals who can provide proof of their full COVID-19 vaccination status. Please see the additional requirements listed below. LBUSD is asking all volunteers new and returning to submit the volunteer request form. Learn more.

Laguna Beach Unified School District eagerly announces year two of our partnership with Education Elements, a  K - 12 company that consults with schools, districts, and learning organizations on diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”) matters. In March 2021, LBUSD partnered with Education Elements to work to ensure every student has a voice in their school and classroom including communities of color, students with disabilities, LGBTQ+ students, and multilingual learners.

I hope you had a memorable and safe summer break. As we move into the 2021-2022 school year, I want to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation to all of our families, students, staff, and community members who united together through the pandemic to recharge, renew, and reimagine teaching and learning in LBUSD. 

We want to thank all of our incredible team members who worked to pull off the 2021 Welcome Back Breakfast. We had an incredible turnout both in person and virtually. Take a moment to check out our photo gallery.
