USD 298 Board of Education approved early school closure for the week December 13 through December 17, 2021, due to student illness and inability to fully staff our buildings. All buildings will be closed with no athletic practices or events or community access during this time. This will allow staff to deep clean and get ready for reopening on January 4, 2022.
LES Parents/Guardians: the LES Kindergarten through Fifth grade Winter Music Concert has been rescheduled to Wednesday, January 12 in the LES gym. In order to limit crowd size, Kindergarten through Second Grade students will perform beginning at 6:00 and conclude at 6:45. Doors will open at 5:45. If you do not have an older student we ask that you please exit with your Kindergarten-2nd student at the end of the first performance. 3rd-5th grade students will perform from 7:00-7:45, but do not need to arrive until 6:45 unless watching the Kindergarten-2nd program with a parent or guardian. Parents or guardians and their families that have children in both performances may stay for each performance. The program will be recorded in its entirety and uploaded to the USD 298 Facebook page. We appreciate your flexibility and cooperation. Thank you

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at LES. 4th grade students from Mrs. Zamecnik's and Miss Berndt's classes decorated the main hallway Christmas trees today. Each ornament on the tree is for a LES student or staff member.
