Aug. 25th Bulletin
Kindergarten parents: We neglected to adjust our supply list to ask for nap mats that are easy to wipe instead of soft blanket material. The traditional vinyl or plastic mats work well. If you have already sent or planned to send a blanket, we will use these at nap time and then send home to be washed until you have a chance to make the necessary adjustment. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. Thank you!
The meal menu for the first week of school has been updated on the website. You can view them day by day with the Dining button. You can access the monthly menus under the District heading in the Explore menu.

Tonight's athletic meeting will be held in the Field House. This is for any student/athlete and parents who plan on participating in a sport during the 2020-2021 school year.
We want to make sure everyone is aware of our upcoming events and guidelines. First, I want to let you all know that our re-opening plan can be found by going to the district website at linn.k12.mo.us and clicking reopen plan at the top. As part of this plan, all students who will be riding the bus must have a mask on when they get on the bus and when they get up out of their seat to get off the bus. While they are seated in their seats, they may take the mask off. All 7-12 grade students will also need a mask during times when they cannot social distance such as between classes, standing in lunch line, etc. All students who ride buses will also only be assigned to ride one bus. If you have not yet let us know where your child will be picked up and dropped off, please let us know as soon as possible.
Thursday, August 20 is our Open House. Elementary open house is from 12:00-7:00 and MS/HS is from 3:00-7:00. We have allowed more time in order to allow families to come at different times and limit the number of people who are here at one time. We hope to see you there! All adults must wear masks to Open House. 7th grade will also have their mock school day from 4:00-5:00 on August 20.
Parents who will be dropping off their child for school may do so beginning at 7:15. Breakfast will be served from 7:15-7:40. Parents who will be picking their child up from school may do so beginning at 4:00. We will let buses and high school drivers leave before parent pick-up. We will be utilizing the main parking area for parent-pick up after school. We will not be utilizing the circle drive behind the elementary school.
We can’t wait to have all of our students back with us. We are committed to doing everything we can to keep our kids healthy and safe while providing a high quality education. We will see you soon!
