If students are not in school due to inclement weather, remote instruction will begin at 10:30 for all LES students (in seat, virtual students, and self contained special ed classes). All students should log into Schoology to get access to Teams meetings with their teachers for live instruction and for their assignments. This includes music and PE classes as well as core subjects.
Valentine parties will be Thursday at 1:30 if school is in session. If we are not in session due to inclement weather, they will be Friday morning. Friday is an early dismissal. We will dismiss at 12:45 on 2/12 so school staff can get their second vaccine. Also, so you can plan ahead, remember Feb. 19 is also a 12:45 dismissal due to Faculty Senate meetings.
