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!

The school board, administration and teacher representatives had a very good meeting concerning current and future instructional plans for LCUSD9. 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 also aware that blended learning is new to all of us and will need to continue to improve our instructional delivery system for our students. 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. In order to be eligible, you must participate in the screenings, so please email and make an appointment as soon as possible.
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,

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.

Good afternoon Lebanon CUSD#9 stakeholders,
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,
