Hello Lebanon School Community. As we finalize plans for the 2020-2021 school year we just wanted to share a brief overview of the upcoming school year. Our first priority is the safety of our students and staff. We will continue to work with the State Board of Education and Health Department to provide an optimal learning environment. Additionally, we have determined that the best course will be to have in person instruction each and every day for all students. We will also be offering a remote learning option as well. Tentative plans may change due to state mandates at anytime, so please remain flexible. School will begin for students on Wednesday, August 19th. In order to comply with phase 4 restrictions we will need to adjust school arrival and departure times in order to allow all students to attend each day. We will have a finalized schedule and more details by early next week. Thank you for your continued support! Yours in education, Return to School Committee

Any girl interested in playing HS Volleyball: We are starting our summer workouts on Monday!! Here is the schedule for the next 4 weeks: Mondays: 3pm-6pm Tuesdays: 8am-10am Wednesdays: 3pm-6pm Thursdays: 8am-10am Fridays: 8am-10am These workouts are only for LHS students 9th-12th grade. Due to COVID here are a few things that will be taking place in order to do our workouts/practice: Athletes will need to arrive 15 minutes early, they will have there temperature taken, and questionnaire filled out, and hand washing prior to doing anything. No locker rooms or water fountains will be available. Bleachers will not be out. Everyone will space out their equipment and be required to bring plenty of water. Please make sure all of your items are labeled! Each athlete will need hand sanitizer in their bags to use during water breaks. I plan to have some available, just in case! Please bring indoor and outdoor tennis shoes. We will try to do some activities outside so nobody gets overheated. I know this is a different time than what we are used to, but I am glad we are moving in the right direction toward something normal. Please stay safe and healthy! I really miss all of you ladies! Can't wait to see everyone Monday! Coach Shirley Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android
