LEHS Informational Letter
March 5, 2021

Dear LEHS Community,
            Wow!  It’s been almost one year since we closed for COVID.  The past year has been challenging, to say the least, however we proved to ourselves that we can adapt and do whatever is necessary to meet the needs of our kids.  I believe that we have adapted so much, that now we are facing the challenges of a regular schedule.  The ‘back and forth’ schedule can be extremely stressful on our kids, families, and district staff.  We must keep our focus on doing what’s best for kids and remain focussed on our ultimate goal of preparing students for the next step in their lives.  With that being said, we have several important dates approaching.  If you have any questions regarding these events, please feel free to call the office or email me at nate.smith@loganelm.org
 
Be a Brave!
