USD 243 Lebo-Waverly Thank you to everyone for your patience as we deal with our building closure. This has been a difficult situation for everyone involved in education. There is no place we would rather be than in our buildings with our students. The USD 243 Administrative team met today to begin working on our Continuous Learning Plan. Several things came from this video meeting: There will be NO face-to-face contact between staff and students! Starting Monday, the following teams will meet to continue developing the District CLP: Daycare - 2nd Grades 3rd - 5th Grades 6th - 8th Grades 9th - 11th Grades 12th Graders Each team will consist of a district administrator and all teachers in the listed grade levels We are planning on providing educational services starting Monday March 30th. We will be meeting with our teachers in small groups on Monday to discuss what this plan will look like. You can expect further updates next week. We have had some questions pertaining to personal items left at school. We will be putting together a plan to be able to get these items back to students as quickly as possible. More information will be available next week. More information regarding the Continuous Learning Plan will be announced as soon as possible. Once again, thank you for your patience in these difficult times. If you have questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact your building administrator! We are all in this together!

"Just take a second. Just pause..." Josten's has produced this amazing short video about this weird transition and shift that we are all going through.

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
