We officially turned 100 days smarter on Friday! 👵🏼👴🏻 Happy 100th Day of School, LAES! 💯❤️










Middle school and high school parents. A few clarifications for today:
As of this time, the game in Munich is still scheduled for a 1:00 PM varsity start. Our current intent is still to attend as a school is to provide support and a positive atmosphere for our girls basketball team, while allowing our student body to have an enjoyable experience promoting school spirit and developing further connections along with supporting our coop school who is hosting the game.
Due to the weather, we have put additional requirements in place for attendance, including a hat, gloves, and a winter coat. Any student who does not have these items, or who chooses not to attend the game, will remain at the school, where staff will be staying back to supervise. Attendance will be taken and counted as present whether students are at the game or remain at school.
Transportation safety was also carefully considered. The willingness to send rural buses was an additional factor in the decision to continue busing to Munich today. Multiple buses will be traveling together so that, if something were to occur, we would have the ability to move students to another bus immediately if needed. We are in constant monitoring of our opponents decision to travel, the weather and will adjust as necessary or any changes that may occur. This information will be shared if something occurs.
As always, parents have the opportunity to make the decision they feel is best for their child. We will support your decision, as our shared priority is keeping all students safe.

The rationale behind weather related decisions is many fold. I consider current conditions and forecasted conditions. On Thursday this week, the forecast for the temps to drop and the wind to increase through the day helped me determine in going to a virtual learning day. On Friday this week even though the morning temps were similar although the wind and forecast winds are significantly less. I do my best to make appropriate decisions while sourcing information, consulting with the sheriff dept, our transportation department and other area schools. Please be safe and as parents you have the right to keep your child home if you deem appropriate. Attendance will be taken, and work will need to be made up.
