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!

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

Here is 2nd grade in our “new” classroom in the 1901 building. 🙂Each day after lunch recess we work on our math fact fluency on Reflex Math. Mrs. Jacobson was able to get a grant for this fun and engaging program. We are working hard on addition and subtraction facts. A few students are already 100% fluent and are now working on multiplication and division! 📚

Middle School Students listed several staff members as mentors they can look up to during our newest Sources of Strength campaign. We have been talking about people in our life that support us. Mentors, Positive Friends and Family are all important people that we can turn to in our life to give us Hope, Help and Strength!
