Parents and Guardians of USD 298, this is Scott Crenshaw Superintendent of Schools with an important message.
There has been a confirmed staff member who has tested positive for COVID-19 at Lincoln Elementary School. The Lincoln County Health Department is contact tracing all individuals who were potentially exposed to this person. Following recommended best practices, there will be students who will be placed in a modified quarantine situation at school. If your student is affected by this situation, you will be contacted by Lincoln County Health Department. We believe we are in a low risk situation due to the precautions that have been in place since school started with faculty who wear masks and plexiglass barriers. However, we must be diligent and follow the best practices for quarantine.
Starting Monday, October 12, I have ordered, with Board of Education support, that USD 298 will move to a mask mandate for all students and staff at LES and LJSHS. This mask mandate will be in place for 14-16 school days. We are going to be proactive and do everything in our power to isolate and prevent further exposure. All students have been provided masks by the district, however if you choose to bring your own, that is acceptable.
Spectator limitation will be enforced at indoor activities. Student athletes will be allowed 2 spectators who must have tickets to enter. Masks will be required for all spectators at indoor activities. We request that you be diligent and adhere to social distancing practices.
The safety of our students and staff members is our top priority. Thank you in advance for your support.
There will be school for all USD 298 students on Monday, October 12. This is a change from the calendar adopted last year. On Friday, October 16, there will be no morning or afternoon preschool classes, with school being dismissed at 1 pm for Kindergarten through 12th grade. Have a great weekend!
