Hello LCUSD 9 Families-
I wanted to make you aware of a change that has been made through our technology department regarding student emails. In accordance with Board Policy 6:235, we are making sure that our networks established for student use are secure and safe for regular use in the district. With that in mind, student email domains were restricted on Tuesday, April 16th, which means that they are not able to email out or get outside emails in within their student email domain. Our guidance counselor continually re- emphasizes the need to use personal emails for college information and accounts. The school district has no legal obligation to allow a student’s district e-mail to be able to send/receive e-mails from outside sources. I apologize for this coming second to the change being made in district, but student safety is and will continue to be our top priority.
Respectfully,
Dr. Ganey

April is National Donate Life Month and the IHSA has partnered with Gift of Hope to spread the word about being an organ, eye and tissue donor.
Currently there are over 100,000 men, women and children on the national transplant donor list waiting for a donor. 1 registered organ donor can save up to 8 lives through organ donation and improve over 75 other lives through tissue and cornea donation.
A person can also choose to be a living donor and help someone who may need a transplant.
My son Jackson was born with kidney disease and has been the recipient of a cadaver donor's kidney and also a live donor kidney (from me). You can feel free to share your spare.
You can choose to sign up online at organdonor.gov to be an organ donor. Say Yes and Save Lives!

High School Spring Co-op Sports Update
As many of you know, we have entered into our 1st year of our 2 year co-op agreement with Wesclin High school for girls basketball, softball and soccer.
This past winter we had 5 girls would chose to play basketball and without the co-op they would have not played at all here at Lebanon as we would not have had enough for a team. Chloe Nordmann started many varsity games this year and was a big part of that varsity team. Autumn Guyette, Doreen Lee, Savanah Pontious and Lily Joslin all played on the Junior Varsity team and were an important part of that team because with out those 4 players, Wesclin would not have had enough for a JV team. So we are very proud of those girls and the season they had and for taking the opportunity to play and continue to develop their skills
Spring Soccer and Softball
Currently we have 1 senior playing soccer, Dache Johnson. Dache has enjoyed the opportunity to play and start for the co-op team. Currently she leads the team in goals scored with 14, which puts her in 10th place in the St. Louis area. They are off to a 3-3-2 start as a team this year! Great job Dache!
We also have 4 players playing softball. Seniors Kendal Strozier and Brooke Goetter, Junior Chloe Nordmann and Freshman Britney Davenport. Kendal, Brooke and Chloe are starters on the co-op varsity team and they have helped the team to a 10-4 record to start the season. Brooke is batting .500 and is among the St. Louis metro area leaders in avg, rbi's (16) triples (3)and runs (19). Chloe is batting .388 is among the area leaders with 20 rbi's and Kendal is batting .333 and is among the area leaders in stolen bases with 7. Britney Davenport is playing on the JV team and unfortunately no stats are provided but we are glad to see her out for the softball team getting an opportunity each day to get better. Again these girls would have missed out on an opportunity to play this season if we did not have the co-op, hopefully we can get more girls to come out so that we can get back to having our own teams on our own campus, but until then, we are glad these girls have a chance to continue to play. Good job Greyhounds, keep it up!
