LFS Families and Community:
Two important announcements for today:
1) Due to the ongoing construction and remodeling, we need to make some changes to our procedures for end of day dismissal.
Starting today, buses will be loading students on Field Street. No car traffic will be able to use Field Street until the buses depart.
Vehicles picking up students should utilize the rounded curb right in front of the main doors. Elementary students will be dismissed at 3:15.
Please use caution with end of day pick ups, as our parking lot is more congested than usual and there is more traffic.
School staff will be outside and helping to direct students and keep traffic moving smoothly.
2) At Monday night's meeting, the School Board approved changes to the COVID-19 Mitigation plan. The most significant changes include the resumption of rapid testing availability for students, and that quarantine periods for in-school exposures will no longer be required.
The full revised plan can be found on our website.
Please call the office with any questions.
Thank you!
We are excited to host a book fair after nearly two years! All proceeds from the fair will go to the school library to buy books for students. Mark your calendars for the Wild West Book Fair in the MS/HS Library March 28 -31.

Another great thing about teaching and learning in a 4K - 12 building- collaboration! This week Mrs. Palmer's Infant & Child Development class visited Ms. Grainger's 4K class to support a math lesson. Older students helped their younger counterparts sort items by color, graph the results, and explore concepts of more and less. #EveryStudentEveryDay
