News from LCHS 1/14/2022
Dear LCHS Parents & Caregivers,
We are about to head into the 3rd week of the new semester. Students and teachers are working really hard to start the New Year strong. Thank-you for what you are doing at home to support your child’s learning at school.
We have had a lot of students out due to quarantine or other illnesses. It’s important that if your child(ren) are absent for any reason, they do their best to keep up with their school work from home. Your child should have a Google Classroom for each of their classes. Directions for what students should complete from home are in the “Stream”. The materials and assignments are under “Classwork”. Any and all graded assignments will be posted there for students to complete. Also, actively monitor your child’s School Runner account to see their grades and reach out to their crew leader if you have any questions.
Additionally, at school, we will continuously reevaluate our safety practices. For this next week, we will continue holding virtual community meetings by streaming into crew classrooms, and we’ll keep our flexible assigned seating during lunch. All other safety practices will remain in place. Much of our school community has been taking advantage of the free rapid COVID testing we are offering. Unfortunately, we do not have an endless supply. We will have to start limiting testing to individuals 3-5 days after their exposure or if they are showing symptoms.
Also, consider taking advantage of one of these resources:
- Order a free COVID Testing Kit for at home: https://covid19.colorado.gov/covid-19-testing-at-home
- Make an appointment for drive through testing at the Medical Clinic Mon-Fri. Call 719-486-0230.
Finally, I wanted to remind the families of our 9th and 10th grade students that we have a closed campus lunch. If your child is in the 9th or 10th grade, they cannot leave at lunch time unless you come into the building and pick them up. They cannot leave with anyone of than adults on their approved pick-up list that was completed at registration.
We’re living through an unpresented and pivotal time in education. It’s essential that we work together to support the learning and development of our children. Please reach out if you have questions or you’d like to get involved. We appreciate you!
Best,
Erin Dillon
LCHS Interim Principal
