L-S Community,

In response to family and staff feedback, the school district will report COVID-19 numbers more than once a week COVID-19 numbers. The district will share data three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). At this time, our data indicates continuing face-to-face instruction in each building.

Even though the absence rate at the middle school is 10.4% (11 absent students), there are very few positive student cases and zero staff cases. Most middle school student sickness are not related to COVID-19.
