LJSHS Parents: Due to the excessive heat and humidity forecasted for the next 4 days we will be conducting high school volleyball, high school and junior high football and high school and junior high cross country practice tonight through Thursday from 6:30-8:30p.m. We are taking all precautions to protect our athletes based on the guidelines of the KSHSAA excessive heat/humidity policy. Please remember all high school and junior high athletes must participate in 13 practices to compete in their first competition.

Good evening LES Parents/Guardians: If your student brought their water bottle home this weekend, please wash it and return it tomorrow for school. Personal water bottles are not washed at school. School ordered water bottles should be arriving shortly. Thank you for your cooperation and flexibility.

LES Parents/Guardians, a few things from Mrs. Ptacek: Your child brought home a letter and t-shirt order form for our Leopard Families this week. If you have not already done so, please fill out the order form and send it back with your student/s. The deadline is August 30. Also, please take some time to fill out the School Counseling Needs Assessment for this year if you haven't done so already. It is a very brief survey that helps make sure the most relevant and accurate services are being provided for students and families. It should take no more than five minutes. Here is the link for the needs assessment: https://tinyurl.com/3ymp66m9 Thanks for your cooperation! As always, please reach out to Mrs. Ptacek if you have any questions or concerns.

Attn LES Parents/Guardians: Although we are grateful for the much needed rain, due to the storm and issues with power outages, in the interest of safety we will be cancelling Meet the Teacher this evening. If you are headed this way and would like to drop off your child's supplies staff will be in the building. The meal that was to be served to parents and students will be rescheduled for October Parent Teacher Conferences. Thank you for understanding.

Attn LES Parents/Guardians: We are excited to welcome students and families tonight from 5:15-6:45. This year LES will only have water bottle filling stations open. We will provide students with water bottles that stay at school and are washed regularly. These bottles have shipped, but not arrived. Please send a clearly labeled refillable water bottle with your child to school. Please remember if your child is riding a school vehicle they will need a face mask per current federal regulations, please send one accordingly. Thank you.
