The school board, administration and teacher representatives had a very good meeting concerning current and future instructional plans for LCUSD9. We appreciate the efforts in remaining flexible in this difficult time. Moving forward we understand and maintain that student and staff safety is important. We are also aware that blended learning is new to all of us and will need to continue to improve our instructional delivery system for our students. We are looking into various options, models and possibly adding additional services in the near future. We will also be posting potential timelines for additional services very soon. In addition, we will be building upon and improving delivery of instruction. Please understand we are trying to balancing safety and potential future schedule changes appropriately. We understand there are a number of different school models, but each with trade offs as well. We will communicate plans very soon. Thank you for remaining flexible.

Thank you Mrs. Noud and Mrs. Clemens for leading our reading workshop.
