High School parents please remind students to check each of their google classrooms tomorrow for assignments, google meet times or new announcements. This is the first day of the semester for all students. Progress will be checked on 1/22/21, if students have a failing grade in any class at that time during a hybrid learning model, they will be required to attend all 5 days of the week beginning on 1/25/21. If your student is having difficulty please contact the teacher of that class. Tutoring after school will still be available. The community sites will also be open for assistance this week. If you are a new student to the district or have questions in regard to scheduling, classes or otherwise. Please contact the high school office.
LCC1 will be in Distance Learning for the remainder of this week. Due to road conditions, there will be no meal deliveries during this week. The expected plan would be to return to "in-person" learning on Monday 1/11/21 depending on COVID impacts throughout this week.
HHS students who attend Votech will still be transported to and from Hannibal this week under the already established procedures for Votech students.
