There will be an example Car Rider Tag attached to the tag that you will receive. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions in regards to this process. Thank you.

Dear LCUSD9 Families and Staff,
While this school year has been a challenge, I hope you have many things for which you are thankful this holiday season. I am personally grateful for:
Our D9 students who have demonstrated positive attitudes as they navigate new learning models and protocols,
Our D9 parents who have changed their schedules and work in partnership with staff,
Our teachers, certified staff, and support staff for their extra efforts and willingness to adapt lessons and job responsibilities,
Nurse Tracie who works many hours to help students and families stay well,
Our custodial and building staff for keeping buildings clean, sanitized, and safe,
Our technology department who ensure tools are available for remote learning,
Our board of education for their leadership, and
Our community who supports public education and our schools.
This has been a challenging year for everyone. When faced with challenges and crises, it is more important than ever to share gratitude and express thanks. I encourage you to reach out to someone in D9 to share your gratitude. It could be a teacher, a staff member, or a fellow parent who supports or inspires you. By doing so we will not only continue to get through this together, but we will help one another thrive in the face of this year’s challenges.
Please be safe over this holiday season. We can't wait to have the students return to campus on Tuesday 01/05/21!

Good Morning LES Families!
On the evening of Monday, December 21, 2020, from 6:00-7:00 PM the LES PTO and Title I program will be sponsoring the "LES Drive-Thru Hot Cocoa Party!"
This drive-thru will flow very similar to the reverse parade that we held back in August. The only difference will be that it will take place in the front parking lot instead of the back lot this time.
As vehicles pull through the parking lot and proceed around. There will be greeters waving to the vehicles. We will have baggies prepared to handout to every child in each vehicle, whether they are LES or not! Also, there just might be somebody special in the line waving to the vehicles.
Just like last time, we are asking you to remain inside of your vehicles and don't stop to have individual conversations, so as not to hold up the procession. Hope to see all LES families roll through here on Monday evening between 6:00-7:00 PM. Have a great day! Thank you.

Hello. The end of the semester is approaching fast and we will once again open up student in-person choice. Next semester will begin with the same current blended A & B attendance schedule. Students that are eligible for 2 days of in person will remain in that format. Students with special needs or at risk will also have the same current choice of 4 days of in person per week. All students will remain in their current plan unless you need to change from remote to in-person instruction. Please contact your building principals only if you plan to CHANGE to in-person or at anytime want to change to full remote. In person choice will remain open until Friday, 12/18 at noon. We will continue to monitor Covid numbers closely and determine if changes of in person attendance are needed. Please remain flexible as plans may change quickly at anytime. We know that part time attendance is difficult but this model has helped us continue to keep our doors open. Happy Holidays!

LES Families,
As previously communicated on Tuesday, the district's technology department will perform a regularly scheduled bi-annual maintenance check on them and update them over the Winter Break.
For safety and sanitary reasons, please place your I-Pad in a gallon storage bag or plastic bag, with your student's and teacher's names attached to it.
Remote students should bring their I-Pads to the school no later than 3:30 PM on Friday 12/18. At that time the office will be closed for the winter break.
I understand that students that attend in-person on A only days may have more work to complete up until the end of the week. Parents, if you need to hold onto the device until the end of the week, that is fine. But please communicate that to your child's teacher. The office will be open until Friday at 3:30.
Students that attend school on Friday (B-days) can just plan to leave their I-Pads at school with their teachers at the end of the day.
Parents, the chargers DO NOT need to be brought in with the devices to perform this update and maintenance check.
If your student's I-Pad is not turned in before the break, it will not receive an update and maintenance check until after it is returned at the end of the school year.
Your student will receive the same I-Pad back upon their return on the 1st week of January.
Attention all LCUSD 9 students who are enrolled in a 1st semester-only class!!
Book/material drop off will take place on Wednesday, December 16th. Supply drop off will be done through the back entrance of the HS gymnasium. Remember to wear your masks when you come to drop off materials.
Some of your teachers may be asking you for materials prior to Wednesday.
Meal pick up today until 11:00 at Lebanon High School and Lebanon Elementary School. Also meal pick up at Summerfield until 10:00 at Fireman's Hall. Hope to see you soon.
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.

Due to the recent state wide and local area Covid events, we will be holding at our current student phase-in-plan. We will be adding a few more at-risk/failing students on Monday. We feel that it is not feasible to add the full amount of students scheduled on November 23 as planned. We will also not bring back all students scheduled to return on December 7th. We will maintain the current A/B 50% model, with the possibility of reducing student numbers and/or going full remote if needed. We will be monitoring our local Covid numbers and evaluate if we need to change plans at any time. Please remain flexible as we try to balance student needs and local Covid events. More information will be available online soon or feel free to contact your building principal. We hope to return to our original plans very soon.
Attention Lebanon Athletes: All IHSA sports and activities were temporarily paused today based on the newest state mitigations.
“All IHSA sports and activities will cease by November 20 for what we hope is a short-term pause,” said IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson. “Given the rising COVID-19 cases in our state and region, we support the Governor’s mitigations and believe it is imperative for everyone in the state to do their part in following them so that we can return to high school sports participation as soon as possible.”
Congrats to our extremely deserving LES Employees of the Month of November! Thanks for all you do. Keep up the great work!

Have you heard-the world famous Harlem Wizards are joining the students of Lebanon Elementary on 11/30/2020 to help us raise funds with their new WizFit Challenge virtual fundraiser and kids experience! Over 2 weeks students will watch and participate in an exclusive series of 6 interactive video episodes led by Harlem Wizard stars Swoop and Broadway, plus a special grand finale video to practice what they've learned. They will get fit, learn tricks, have fun, and be coached on character by the Wizards.
We are about 2 weeks away from kicking off on 11/30/2020, with the Grand Finale virtual party on 12/14/2020. Our goal is to raise $10000 for the school. We're excited to see our school come together (whether they are Face to Face or virtual) in this fundraising program! More details to come soon!

In addition to no school this Friday, October 30. Here are some upcoming early November dates to keep in mind.
LES Parents/Guardians,
As we all are aware of, Halloween is next Saturday. Unfortunately, due to restrictions stemming from COVID-19 we will be unable to allow our students to celebrate the holiday here at school by putting on costumes, having classroom parties, or conducting a parade. While that fact saddens me, I believe that we can offer a minor concession. I would like to offer the opportunity for the students to wear their "Halloween-themed" shirts to school on Tuesday (A-group) and Thursday (B-group) of next week! We will snap a few pictures within the building and post them on our website and Facebook pages. Keep in mind that these shirts should be school appropriate. If your child's shirt is deemed inappropriate, based on our district handbook, we will call home in order for a replacement shirt to be brought to school. Remember that your child should not wear or bring a costume to school on those days. Your student should not wear any Halloween masks, face paint, or head dress/wear on those days either. Thank you!
LES Staff decked out in red to represent living DRUG FREE!
Red Ribbon has come to a close and we had a great week of dressing up and learning to say “NO to drugs”. We held a door decorating contest and the winners are Mrs. Moore first place, Mrs. Davis second place, Mrs. Arnold third place, and Mr. Richter Honorable Mention. Thank LES for a GREAT week!
Tomorrow is the last day of Red Ribbon Week, wear as much red as you can tomorrow!
So happy to celebrate Dictionary Day thanks to the Lebanon Rotary Club, Mary Renfro's family and the Delta Kappa Gamma teacher's sorority. They have been presenting dictionaries to each of our third graders for many years.
Good Morning Lebanon!

We appreciate the efforts in remaining flexible in this difficult time. Moving forward we understand and maintain that student and staff safety is important.

We are looking into various options, models and possibly adding additional services in the near future. We will also be posting potential timelines for additional services very soon. In addition, we will be building upon and improving delivery of instruction. Please understand we are trying to balancing safety and potential future schedule changes appropriately. We understand there are a number of different school models, but each with trade offs as well. We will communicate plans very soon. Thank you for remaining flexible.

Parents must bring a birth certificate from the county in which your child was born. The hospital announcement will not be accepted. You will be asked to complete a form covering the early development of your child.

Strengths and weaknesses will be identified in all of these areas and will be discussed with the parents at the end of the screening.

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

Open field for softball starts on Wednesday (7-8-20) from 9:00 am - 10:45 am. This will be for girls in the Lebanon School District that are entering 5th grade up through 8th grade this upcoming school year.
Here are just a few things that will need to take place in order to be able to practice ...
Athletes will be screened BEFORE practice ... temperature taken and questionnaire filled out. If you feel sick, please stay home. We can’t share equipment, (except softballs) they will be sanitized after practice. Bring your own water bottle and label it with your name. We won’t be using the dugout during these open fields. When you arrive please remember to keep 6 feet of distance between you and your teammates. Bring personal hand sanitizer, if possible.
• There will be no shared athletic towels, clothing, shoes, gloves, face masks, helmets, bats, or catcher’s gear
• When we meet in close proximity to talk please wear a mask.
I’m sorry things have to be this way, but we need to protect each other.😊 We can still have fun! Lets make the best of this situation! Go Hounds!
Pre-Kindergarten Screenings
Lebanon Elementary School
408 Mary Jane
Lebanon, IL 62254
Lebanon Elementary School will conduct its annual pre-kindergarten screening for the 2020-2021 school year on August 5th and 6th. Appointments must be made in advance by emailing Mrs. Leslie Stief, EC/PreK Teacher, at LStrobel@LCUSD9.org. Appointments are available each day from 1:15-4:15.
The screening is free and available to all preschool age children who will not be eligible to attend Kindergarten in the fall and will be three (3) years old on or before September 1, 2020. The screening lasts approximately one hour.
Parents must bring a birth certificate from the county in which your child was born. The hospital announcement will not be accepted. You will be asked to complete a form covering the early development of your child.
The school’s goal is to assist parents in making sure that their child will be ready for kindergarten and prepare them for future school experiences. The screening will cover areas of fine and gross motor skills, concepts, and communication as well as vision and hearing. Strengths and weaknesses will be identified in all of these areas and will be discussed with the parents at the end of the screening. In order to be eligible, you must participate in the screenings, so please email and make an appointment as soon as possible.
The Southern Illinois Junior High School Athletic Association has not made an official ruling on the level of athletic involvement for the 20-21 school year. They are hoping to release guidance later in July. As of right now there are no practices or tryouts for the Jr. High, and we will post here when coaches are holding practices and tryouts. Thank you for your patience as we strive to do our part to keep the Greyhound community healthy and well.

The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) has become the issue discussed in every location across the country at this time. Lebanon CUSD#9 administration, nurse and County Health Department have been working on preventative measures to reduce the likelihood of exposure and transmission within our schools. Recommendations to use good hygiene such as washing hands, not touching your face, and not reporting to school or work if you experience flu-like (cough, fever, respiratory issues or any other signs of illness) symptoms continue to be the focus for each of us. However, it has become evident that additional measures may become necessary to combat the spread.
Currently, school is one of the safest atmosphere for our students. This is a very fluid situation and may change even by the time this correspondence goes out. We will prepare for the worst case scenario, but hope for the best.
We are continuously in contact with the County Health department, which is in contact with local, state and federal officials. As circumstances change, so do our plans. If there is a confirmed case of COVID-19 locally, school closure will likely be one of the first considerations. We plan to have more information about opportunities and/or expectations of continued learning should a prolonged district closure occur. Our commitment at this time is to the safety and wellbeing of all Lebanon CUSD#9 students and staff.
Regarding field trips, extracurricular and curricular activities, we will make decisions based on the risk of exposure for our students and staff. If it becomes evident that participation increases the risk of exposure, we will suspend or cancel as needed. We certainly respect parents’ decisions should they desire to opt out of any activities at this time.
As this situation continues to be fluid, we will be exploring options to meet students’ individual needs to ensure a continuity of education.
Best regards,
Mr. Keeney
