Lakin High School Parents and caregivers,
After consultation with county health officials and consideration of the high number of students in quarantine as well as those with active Covid-19 cases we have decided Lakin High School will move to remote learning beginning Thursday, November 19th. Tomorrow, Wednesday, will be a preparation day for staff so students will not be required to attend school or live stream into classes.. Students will return to a face to face environment after Thanksgiving break.
Breakfast and lunch will be available for students to pick up. Parents, please call and notify the high school office if you will be picking up a breakfast or lunch so we can have an accurate count.
This will not have an impact on Extra Curricular activities. They will move forward as scheduled.
This effects the high school only. Grade school and middle school students will remain in a face to face learning environment.

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!

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.
