Letter to Families 4/17/2020

4/17/2020

Dear LR Families:

It was our hope to return to school prior to the end of the school year, but unfortunately that is not the case. Ending a school year without a wave, high-five, or a hug is hard on all of us, but we hope the extended school closure has kept your family safe and healthy. There are still many questions unanswered and dependent upon social distancing orders. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make plans, and alternate plans for the weeks ahead.  We hope the following information and upcoming events will help your family schedule the remaining weeks of school:

Our last day of school is May 22. We are not able to hold bump-up day this spring, but we are thinking about summer school and a re-entry plan in August. For those of you counting the days, the first day of school is August 24.

We will continue providing weekly learning resources and meal service as previously scheduled.  Our last learning packet for this school year will be posted to the district website on Friday, May 15 and paper packets will be distributed along with meals from 4:00-6:00 PM on Monday, May 18 at the Upper Elementary School. Teachers are available to respond to questions and provide feedback to students through May 22.

Grade cards will be mailed home, but are going to look different this year. If you are concerned with your child progressing from one grade level to the next, please know those conversations would have already started in the 3rd quarter. Student retention is not expected.

Students in grades 9-12 are expected to complete all their assignments and receive feedback from the teacher in order to determine course completion and earning credit. Students in grades PK-8 are expected to complete all their assignments as well. As the parent, you must determine the amount of time you can dedicate to facilitating each child’s growth while they complete the activities provided. Learning Resources provided by the teacher are not the same as classroom instruction. We can’t wait to be back in the classroom interacting with our students.

We are committed to honoring our graduates at a traditional graduation. Graduation is scheduled for August 8, 2020, 5:00 PM, O'Reilly Family Event Center, Drury University. The High School will communicate additional information regarding other senior activities in May.

You will receive follow up communication from each of your child’s Principals with more details regarding gathering student belongings, returning books, chromebooks, etc.

Summer School plans have not been finalized at this time. Summer School decisions will be based on social gathering guidelines this summer. Our hope is to be able to hold seated summer school in July & August.

We will continue to provide you with weekly updates. The district website is a good resource for all communication and information related to the extended school closure. Please call your child’s school or the district office if you have questions or concerns.  Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we work together through the remainder of this school year.

Sincerely,

LR Schools
