Good Afternoon Lebo-Waverly Families As we plan our Continuing Learning adventure, please know that each and every student and family will be contacted about the Continuous Learning Plan that will start March 30th. This contact will be from one of your students teachers or a member of the Admin team. It will explain the process as we begin our venture into continuous education. You will be contacted in the next week! Thanks for your support and patience in these uncharted times! And as always, if you have questions or concerns, contact your students teacher or your building administrator.

Good Afternoon, The USD 243 Lebo-Waverly administration and staff are working hard on our continuing learning plan. I would like to thank all of you that responded to our internet question the last couple of days. We are working on a solution for those that don’t have reliable internet access and should have a plan in the next few days. What I need from you now, is how many of you would need a device to connect to the internet. We are looking at checking out district devices for those that don’t have any type of device (computer, tablet). Please contact me at 785-229-5732 via text or phone message if you would need a device for your child to receive continuing learning. We will continue to plan and keep you informed as we move forward in these uncharted times!

If your family is in need of meals, please contact Janet Reese jreese@usd243ks.org or Mary Beth Freerksen mbfreerksen@usd243ks.org If they can't email, they may call or text Corey Reese at 785.630.0550

Lebo-Waverly schools are in the process of putting together our continuous learning plan. Please call or text 785-229-5732 if you DO NOT have reliable internet access at home! f you text this information, please let us know who the text is from.

Thursday the continuity commission will release guidance to schools regarding continuing to educate and how to work with our families. Our administrators will meet online Friday to continue hatching a plan. Keep in mind...Safety first! Do not put yourself in proximity of other people. No face to face. No personal contact. Stay away from other people. This is for your safety, as well as, their safety. Learning to read and write is secondary, at this time, to your health and the health and safety of others. Our #1 charge is to provide a safe environment for students and staff. Right now that means stay away from other people as much as possible. Please do not do anything to cause people to come near you or come near each other. We will, in time, get processes in place for education and meals. For now, be patient! Sincerely, Corey Reese, Superintendent Lebo Waverly USD 243

Governor Kelly announced the closure of ALL Kansas schools for the rest of the school year, due to COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus). We will keep you updated and informed on how USD 243 Lebo-Wavely will handle the event.

The Governor will hold a news conference in the 4:00-4:30 time frame with VERY important information about our school. PLEASE tune in to your local media to receive this info!

Everyone, Randy Watson, Commissioner of Education, has recommended closure of schools that are coming off spring break this week. The Governor supports this recommendation. I have meetings tomorrow with County Emergency, Health, and School Leaders. I will let you know what comes from this meeting. Moving forward all district activities are cancelled including sports practice. There will be no sports or activity practice this week. There is a phrase called "Flattening the Curve". I will send you a video that explains the concept. We need everyone to self isolate as much as you can. We need to take universal precautions such as hygiene and hand washing. Encourage everyone to keep their kids as isolated as possible. Stay away from places people gather. This is kind of like a full court press, everybody has to be committed to slowing this disease down. If 4 out 5 people cooperate, It will be layups for this virus. We need everybody to self social isolate in order to slow this thing down. We are on spring break but need to have the mindset that we are closed due to a very fast moving and infectious illness. Sincerely, -- Corey Reese, Superintendent Lebo Waverly USD 243

KSHSAA —The Kansas State High School Activities Association serves students by providing leadership for the administration of education based interscholastic activities— To: Member Schools RE: Suspension of Spring Activities/Athletics COVID 19 – Updated information for spring activities Effective Monday, March 16, all spring sports and activities are suspended through Sunday, March 22. This includes cancellation of all practices and competitions for this week. This prohibition is consistent with KSDE and governmental guidance and may be extended, should conditions warrant. Please note spring sports team members are prohibited from club or outside team participation and practice during this period. Not only would such outside participation be contrary to handbook rule, it would be contrary to the very reason activities are cancelled during the time we seek to mitigate potential transfer of the contagion. kshsaa.org
