Lincoln County Schools - February 2024
PreK and Kindergarten Registration
Lincoln County Schools will begin Pre-K and Kindergarten registration for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year on Monday, February 26, 2024. Parents will register their child(ren) at the school they are zoned to attend. Pre-K parents can also register at Lincoln Central Academy.
If a child will be four (4) years old on or before August 15, 2024, he or she is eligible for the Lincoln County Pre-K program in the fall. PreK seats are limited and registration does not guarantee enrollment. Approval for the program is based on State guidelines and the order the registration documents are received.
Children that are five (5) years old on or before August 15, 2024, are eligible for kindergarten in the fall and should also register beginning February 26, 2024.
The following records are required to register a child in school: (1) proof of residency such as a driver’s license, utility bill, and another piece of mail, (2) a record of the child’s birth, (3) a current physical/health examination, and (4) up-to-date immunization records or a religious exemption form. Pre-K students will also need a completed Income Verification Form.
Additional registration information is available at WWW.LCDOE.ORG. Families needing assistance with registering a Pre-K or Kindergarten child can visit or call their zoned school or Lincoln Central Academy. Parents can also find out the school zone of a county residence by contacting the Lincoln County Transportation Department at 931-433-5733.
Lincoln County Schools welcomes all registering families and looks forward to providing excellent educational experiences for the students of Lincoln County.

Applications Now Being Accepted for the 2024-2025 School Year
Lincoln County Schools has officially opened its doors to applications for teaching positions for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year. Opportunities are available across Elementary, Middle, and High School levels, encompassing disciplines such as Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Foreign Language, Social Studies, and positions for a school psychologist.
Highlighting the national and statewide teacher shortage issue, Dr. John Fanning, Assistant Director of Schools, emphasized that Lincoln County is not exempt from this challenge. In response, the school district is proactively addressing the shortage by organizing a job fair earlier this year to attract potential educators for the upcoming academic term.
Scheduled for March 28th from 2 to 4:30 PM at Lincoln Central Academy, the job fair promises onsite interviews with principals during this event. Importantly, the event is not exclusively for teaching roles but extends to individuals interested in various roles within the school system, including educational assistants, custodians, school bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and more.
For those aspiring to secure a "teaching position", the district encourages visiting the website www.lcdoe.org to complete a Professional Application. Alternatively, applicants can forward their resumes to resume@lcdoe.org. For those seeking a support staff position, they would need to complete the Support Application. Those with inquiries or seeking additional information can reach out to Linda Tallman, Supervisor of Personnel, at the central office.
LCHS CTE Open House
Lincoln County High School (LCHS) will host a Career & Technical Education (CTE) Open House Night for all Lincoln County Schools students and community members. This event will be held at LCHS on February 8, 2024 from 4-7 PM.

According to Lincoln County Schools CTE Director, Susan Welch, “This is a great opportunity for middle school students to explore careers and learn more about the program offerings available at LCHS. This year students will be able to explore using our virtual reality equipment as well. We are excited to share this new equipment made available through Innovative School Model Grant funding.”
LCHS has increased the number of dual enrollment classes offered on campus. Students interested in participating in dual enrollment courses are highly encouraged to meet with their school counselors regarding available opportunities. Representatives from Motlow Community College, TCAT-Shelbyville, and TCAT Pulaski will be set up in the Common’s Area to discuss dual enrollment opportunities that are available on the LCHS campus and additional off-campus opportunities. They will be able to answer any questions that parents and students may have regarding dual enrollment.
