Park Elementary School -

Thank you to everyone who came to LHS yesterday. The Pronto Pup truck was busy all day!

Park Parents - Due to the recent spike in our community with COVID-19 cases, Park Elementary is changing our Parent-Teacher Conferences to a virtual format. Your child's teacher will be sending you a Zoom Meeting link for your scheduled meeting. No times and dates have changed. If you have questions, please contact your child's teacher or the office.

Park Parents and Families, The Park Family Night on Friday, October 2nd has been cancelled. We hope to have our family night in the spring. We apologize for the inconvenience.

One thing is certain

USD 405 donated a DJI Phantom IV drone to the Lyons Fire Department after fire fighter Greg Moss completed the LHS drone pilot class. The Fire Department will be able to use the drone to safely see fires from different angles, find hot spots, help with search and rescue operations, and offer the drone for mutual aid operations. Pictured are class instructor Jim Eskut, Fire Chief Brad Reid, Greg Moss, and LHS principal Kelly Nusser.

The graduation ceremony for the 2020 Rice County Learning Center will be streamed live on Facebook today (May 18) at 1:00.

Have you thanked your teacher? Honor a teacher during Teacher Appreciation Week by sending them a note or email thanking them. They are missing their students and can't wait to see them in person again.

Thank you teachers for you unwavering dedication! You are appreciated more now than ever!!

Never before in the course of American history has there been such appreciation for our teachers! Help us thank our teachers this week during National Teacher Appreciation Week! Post here or send emails to first initial, last name @usd405.com, i.e.: (jdoe@usd405.com).

Expectations of Students through the end of the year ATTENDANCE Students and parents are reminded that although the delivery of education has changed, the expectations of learning and attendance have not changed. Students are still required to attend their class meetings, and if they cannot, a parent or at least the student needs to contact the teacher to let him/her know. Schools are still required by law to report students who are absent without excuse as truant. GRADES The plan for the last quarter of the 19-20 school year is called the Continuous Learning Plan. It has always been the expectation that learning will continue despite not being in the school buildings. Grades are still being input into the grade books. Grades will still be issued. Students and parents should not assume that the student work done in the final quarter will not count. FINISH STRONG! Students are encouraged to finish strong. Students who work hard and finish strong will not have to worry about others making difficult decisions about whether their final grade is passing and failing.
