The top priority of USD 298 is to keep our students and staff as safe as possible while still trying to do everything in our power to keep students in school, in person. Due to increasing cases of COVID in the junior high student population, USD 298, after consultation with the Lincoln County Health Department, will be implementing the following protocols:
6th grade students will be required to quarantine at home until Thursday, Oct. 14, beginning immediately. If no further cases develop, students will be able to return to school on the 14th.
All junior high school volleyball players, grades 6-8, will be required to quarantine at home for the same time period, returning to school on October 14.
There will be no junior high activities (practice or competition) until October 14. Junior high students will not be allowed to attend any high school activities at LJSHS.
Meals will be available for these junior high school students. A drive through meal will be provided that will include a lunch and a breakfast for the next day. A meal order MUST be placed with the LJSHS office by 9:00 am each day that a meal is needed.
Masks will be required for all students (K-12) and staff of USD 298 beginning on October 7 and this mask mandate will remain in effect until November 8. The mask mandate will be reviewed at the November board meeting.
This situation is not what any of us were hoping for, but it is a situation that we must deal with. Please help us do what we can to keep our schools open. Community and parent support is a critical part of making this plan work. We are aware that we do not all agree on many of the issues surrounding COVID, however, we can agree to disagree and move forward. Thank you in advance for your support.

To USD 298 parents:
We have identified 2 positive COVID cases in the Jr. High since last Friday. Per recommendations from LCHD, all Jr High students, 6th - 8th, will be required to wear masks at school. All Jr High activities will be suspended until Oct 12th. This includes practice and competitions. These required temporary protocols will help us to keep our school open and our students, staff and school safe. For Junior High students, 6th-8th, to attend classes October 4th - October 8th they will be required to wear a mask.
Should this situation change, we will do our best to keep everyone informed. Thank you for your understanding as we navigate the constantly changing situations.
Alg 2 students conducted an experiment to model a bridge. The students collected data and used their knowledge of variation models to write an equation that represents how the length between support beams and the thickness of the bridge affect the weight that the bridge can hold.
Today let’s thank Dennis, Jacque, Jeremy, Joe, Lynda, and Vicky, our maintenance and custodian crew. We appreciate the great job you do! Thanks for all you do for our staff and students!
