MS Boys BB Calendar (Oct - Jan)
On Tuesday, October 20th the USD 215 Board of Education voted to suspend health and temperature checks at the start of the school day. After 40 days of school we have learned those checks are of little value in monitoring the health of our students for a variety of reasons. The temperature checks had not identified a single fever and with the onset of cold weather were consistently reading low. The Board concluded it will be more effective to rely on parents to monitor the health of their students and to instruct staff to observe students for signs of illness in the classroom. We urge parents to keep their students home if they are sick and to contact a health care provider if they are exhibiting symptoms of Covid-19. We take the health of our students and the community seriously and are balancing those needs with the needs for students to remain in school. If you have any question regarding this change please contact your building principal.

Due to COVID, KSHSAA has limited attendance for Saturday’s Regional CC here in Lakin. Each school is limited to 4 spectators per runner. With that said, we will not be sending tickets or checking people in. With only 10 schools attending we are confident that we will not exceed the limit and can accommodate a few extra if we do. Also, since it is a KSHSAA post season event, masks will be required even though it is outdoors.
Due to COVID, KSHSAA has limited attendance for Saturday’s Sub State VB in Scott City. Each school is limited to 85 spectators. If you’d like to attend, please contact the HS office to sign up. You have to be on the list to attend. You will be able to pay when you get there. They have also asked that you arrive right before game time and leave immediately after. They will be cleaning between each round of games. MASKS WILL BE REQUIRED!

If the test is negative he or she may return to school when symptom free for 24 hours
If the test is positive he or she should follow health department guidelines and quarantine as advised. If the student/staff member declines to be seen he or she will need to quarantine for a minimum of ten days and may return after that 10 day period if symptom free for 72 hours.

To prevent widespread illness in the school, we recommend that your child stay home from school if he or she is experiencing sick symptoms. Please remember that sending a child to school with symptoms of a potentially infectious illness puts other children and staff at risk for becoming ill.

Please join us for the Lakin Homecoming Parade on September 20! It will begin at 6:00 pm. Due to COVID, the district will make a final decision whether the parade will happen or not on September 14. If we DO get to have the parade, then please consider things like masks and social distancing on floats. So, for example, having two trailers of football players instead of one trailer so social distancing can be achieved if masks aren't going to be worn. Also, there will NOT be a pep rally at the end. The theme is "Rail the Railroaders". We welcome all entries from near and far! Possible categories include: floats, antique vehicles, tractors, combines, semi-trucks, motorcycles and 4-wheelers, horses and horse and buggy combinations, miscellaneous category.

We will have chalk available for you to use up by the front doors. We just ask that if you use our chalk that you make sure your hands are sanitized to help us prevent germ spreading. You may also bring your own chalk.
Please remember to practice social distancing! 
LGS Families,
I will be doing a Facebook Live tomorrow morning at 9:00 am to give some updates for the beginning of the school year. I hope you can tune in!
Mrs. Panzer
Due to the uncertainty regarding school / activities right now, we have decided to move fall senior night for FB, CC, GG and VB to the September 11 home FB game vs Stratford, TX. This way we can at least recognize those seniors in case we get shut down. Hopefully we will be in school all year and can recognize the other senior athletes for their respective sports during their season. More info regarding specifics will be communicated with athletes, parents and coaches.

Bronc Baseball will have another BP tonight, the 26th, weather permitting! Starts at 6 out at Louck’s Park. Anyone is welcome
Bronc Golf Night! Kids came out for a few holes of golf and some fun with friends!
After the most recent actions taken by the KSBE it appears (at least for now) that we will start school and sports as scheduled. With that being the case, we will make next week our last official week of BRONC STRONG workouts. Our previous schedule at the beginning of the summer didn't have that due to uncertainties with the summer schedule. As of now, any extra workouts in the weight room, at the track or on the fields can be done at the discretion of the captains and/or head coaches.
As many of you have heard, yesterday the State Board of Education did not approve Governor Kelly’s Executive Order to delay the opening of schools until September 9.
The decision on when school starts now shifts to each local school board.
At this point in time we do not anticipate a change in the start day for students published on the current calendar.
A group of USD 215 staff and patrons began working to solidify our reopening guidelines. We expect those to be approved by the Board of Education at a special meeting in early August. Once they are approved by the Board we will communicate them to you directly and make sure copies are available electronically.

Locker 66:5 has graciously donated supplies for the LMS kids. They will be providing most of their list. They won’t be buying the trapper keepers, PE items and binders for art. But should have the rest covered. They will hand out to the students on enrollment at the Lutheran Church along with items Lakin Drug is donating for the LGS. A huge thanks to them for the gracious donation to our kids and families during these uncertain times. Please reach out with questions. Thanks

Dear Lakin Community,
Today Governor Laura Kelly held a press briefing to announce Kansas Education Plans for the 2020-2021 school year. Joining her at the briefing was Dr. Lee Norman, Secretary for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and Dr. Randy Watson, Kansas Commissioner of Education.
The briefing informed schools that on Monday, July 20, 2020, Governor Kelly will release an executive order requiring schools to delay opening until after Labor Day. It will also require daily temperature checks and masks to be worn.
We will know more on Monday after we review the exact wording of the order and will begin work on our specific reopening plan for USD 215 and will include a new academic calendar.
Dr. Martin Stessman, Superintendent of Schools
Check out MAYB Wichita, KS July 18th-19th on Tourney Machine! The Broncs will have 5 teams competing in their final tournament of the summer.

Be sure whatever you submit shows your total hours taken this past year and your cumulative GPA. In addition, you will need to indicate what college you will be attending and give Kay or Roelfina your social security number. All this information will then be forwarded to the KCCF.

We finished up the Girls Sports Camp today! We had 3 days of volleyball, 3 days of basketball, and three days of track with the last day being a track meet. Every day we had between 45 and 50 girls getting better! Always fun to do this camp and end with a water fight! If anyone has pictures from the water fight please share them in the comments. I didn’t take any because I was getting soaked!🤣
Pretty neat golf opportunity for Hs / Ms kids. See Coach Thompson to get signed up. #getBETTER
Very proud of this group. Great final practice and film session before our mid summer break. Enjoy your week off. #getBETTER

THANK YOU, to those young men that made it out to Loucks Park this evening to make themselves better. I hope I get the chance to work with you again in 2 weeks!!!
