Greetings LES Families! We really need the participation with the WizFit Challenge to increase. We don't have many students participating yet. We really need you all to get registered AND to watch the videos! You get FREE items just for watching the videos! The challenge ends on 12/14/2020. Let's go Greyhounds!!!

Any LES students that are in possession of a District #9 provided I-Pad will be required to bring in and leave the device with their teacher on their last day of attendance next week. The district's technology department will perform a regularly scheduled bi-annual maintenance check on them and update them over the Winter Break. Your student will receive the same I-Pad back upon their return on the 1st week of January. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation with this process.

LES families: If you receive a request for a Two-Factor Authentication code, you need to bring your iPad to LES to let our tech support correct the issue. Questions or concerns, please call the office - 537-4553. Thank you.
