These are much less intrusive COVID tests that are highly reliable and available to LCC1 students & staff free of charge. They are only to be used in the first few days of experiencing symptoms, but they only require a LOWER NOSTRIL nasal swab and results are available in 15 minutes. Student tests must be administered at the Lewis County Health Department - please contact them at (573) 767-5312 to schedule a test.
HHS Greenhouse Poinsettias are now available. 6 inch pots with 1 stem are $4 and 8 inch pots with 3 plants are $8. Pots will be put in a foil cover with a plastic sleeve. Please contact Mrs. Hamlin at ahamlin@lewis.k12.mo.us to make arrangements to shop.

Please also check your email. Teachers email often with concerns that your student may need assistance in completing work. Please call or email your child’s teachers with any questions or concerns.
Finally, thank you all for your hard work during this time. We do appreciate and understand that distance learning is quite the adjustment and at times very difficult for families. Please reach out to us if you need assistance. We continue to have tutoring daily for students that need help at the high school.
