District staff, families and students, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your resilience and patience in navigating e-learning. Special kudos to our students for consistently logging in, following directions for attendance, and diligently completing assignments.
Many of you have already turned your sights to tomorrow. We know that clear weather advice can be elusive and unpredictable. At this time, we plan to be in session. However, please make sure to have a plan in place for both in-school and e-learning.
If, for any reason, an extra day is needed, we will make the call by 6 a.m. tomorrow based on updates from First Student Bus Service. As of now, the forecast predicts temperatures above freezing, with a gradual warm-up throughout the day. Your understanding during these weather-related decisions is truly valued.
Thanks for your continued patience as we navigate through the winter weather updates and make the best decisions for everyone involved.

Some families have received a direct message today because a few classrooms did not send home devices on Friday because of MAP testing and other individual classroom needs. Each classroom or school that is affected has sent a direct communication by the principal or the classroom teacher. Please make sure to read these communications.
Thank you!
We apologize for any worry or confusion that this has caused for some across the District. We understand your frustration when unpredictable weather occurs and want to put your mind at ease again that students will not be penalized in any way for grades or attendance because they do not have their device for today’s e-learning day. Thank you for following these alternate plans as we continue to navigate and improve the use of e-learning opportunities.

We are keeping a close eye on the evolving winter weather. We know planning ahead is essential for families, and we want to give you a heads-up about the POSSIBILITY of an e-learning day on Monday, January 22, 2024 due to the high probability of ice early tomorrow and throughout the day.

Lanphier Families of students in our PM Program-
We just wanted to communicate that tomorrow, Thursday, December 14th will be the last “in person” class day for the semester for the Lanphier PM Program. We have communicated this with students and let them know that they should be completing their course work. All PM students know they are capable of working on course work outside of LHS. Tests are opened by instructors while students are in class at LHS. All course work is able to be completed at home or LHS.
Should students need any academic time beyond Thursday for course completion, students will need to make an appointment with their Assistant Principal before December 20, 2023.
If you have any further questions, please reach out to your student’s Academic Principal.
