All sporting events and practices are canceled for today(Thursday) February 3rd.
Some of the games may be made up on later dates.
Parents, Students and Staff,
Lebanon CUSD9 will NOT be in session tomorrow, Thursday, February 3 due to inclement weather. Roads and sidewalks are still bad with a forecast that does not look good heading into tomorrow. All snow days will be fully made up as built into our school calendar. Please be safe and try to enjoy the snow!
Mr. Keeney
Parents, Staff and Students; it appears that rain will change to ice and/or heavy accumulations of snow early tomorrow morning. Rather than wait for the change to occur, we are canceling school tomorrow, Wednesday, February 2nd. If projections hold true, there is a likelihood of closure again on Thursday. I plan to release additional updates tomorrow including whether school will be in session on Thursday and/or Friday. Each Snow Day will be fully made up in person as represented in our school calendar. Please stay safe and enjoy the day off!

Lebanon Band Fundraiser at Hanks Bowl!!
Due to conflicts of schedules, we cannot have our 8th grade recognition night tonight at the hs boys basketball game. So we will recognize our 8th graders on Senior night for our hs boys basketball and cheerleaders on Feb 15th before the start of the varsity game at 6:00.
This Tuesday night our JH boys basketball team will play in the Regional at O'Fallon First Baptist. Fans and players will not be allowed to enter the building until 6:30 as they clear out the gym from the fans of the game before ours. Their administration stresses that fans must wear facemasks to enter the building and during the game as imposed by the junior high state association.
Good Luck Greyhounds!
Congratulations to Kyndal Stark, her parents Glenn and Stephanie Stark and her coaches Penni Liebig and Nikki Waters. Kyndal signed a scholarship offer from Quincy University this past Friday. She will continue her bowling career for the Quincy Hawks!
Attention 8th Grade Boys Basketball players and 8th Grade Cheerleaders: We will not be recognizing you at the HS basketball game tonight due to some scheduling conflicts with our families. We would like to try to recognize you during Monday night's HS basketball game. Please look at your calendars and let Mr. Cruthis (ccruthis@lcusd9.org) know if you are available for the game Monday night.
LES parents, I just want to clarify some misinformation about the heating issue at the elementary school. We have 3 of the 4 main heat units RUNNING fine. 1 of the 4 units is NOT full capacity. Of the 30 classrooms/rooms in the building, only 9 are without full capacity. Regional Office of Education visited today to confirm our classroom temps are well within Standards. This morning those 9 classrooms ranged between 68-72 degrees. We are working feverishly with contractor to repair all issues. Unfortunately, Covid has backed up parts and repairs. We are monitoring this closely. We are in direct contact with the Regional Office of Education to maintaining an optimal learning environment. NO space heater will be used with kids present. School WILL be in session today. Thank you.
We just received a call from O'Fallon First Baptist letting us know they just got a call about their players needing to quarantine due to a positive case from another team they played last night. We are talking to 8th graders to see if they would all be available to be recognized at tomorrow night's high school boys game at halftime. I will announce if that will occur tomorrow night.
Sorry for the late notice, again tonight's junior high boys basketball game and 8th grade recognition are canceled
Tomorrow night is the NHS Cancer Night during the boys basketball game, we have baskets for raffle, a 50/50 drawing, and will have a silent auction for a grill. Come support the Greyhounds and NHS.
Tonight is our 8th grade night for our jh boys basketball and jh cheerleading teams. Tonight's 7th grade game will play a shortened game due to low numbers. We will play 2 8 minute halves then we will recognize our 8th graders between 6:30 and 6:45 before the 8th grade teams warm up. Good luck Greyhounds!

Good Evening LES Stakeholders.
We continue to experience unforeseen issues with our HVAC system. Our maintenance crew continues to work tirelessly to repair and replace parts as problems arise. We have contacted all powers that be in an effort to address this situation.
Please know that we are exhausting all options and avenues in order get the system restored to an optimal operating capacity, and to keep our students and staff members warm, safe, and healthy. We understand that opportunities for effective education are forfeited when we are unable to focus past the temperature in our classrooms.
Tomorrow, the forecast is projected to be the lowest temperature of this winter to date. As it's been stressed in the past, continue to dress your students appropriately for winter. This includes: long pants, long-sleeve shirts, socks, coat, hat, gloves, scarf, etc.
Feel free to reach out to me if you have further questions. Thank you.
Friday night is the NHS Cancer Night. Please come out for raffles, 50/50 and a silent auction for a flat top grill!
