Dear Laker Families,

As we continue to navigate this pandemic, the greatest motivation in all we do is to keep students and staff safe. We have done an excellent job in the first quarter of school without having a single positive case. In the last couple of weeks, positive cases have started to show in our staff and students. We still have a very low percentage of positive cases. Thank you for all you are doing to keep safe and keep our kids in school.

With the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday approaching and all the gatherings that traditionally occur, we are very concerned with students coming back to school. The virus takes 3-5 days to start showing symptoms. For this reason, we are moving to online education for November 30 and December 1 only. This will give students five days after Thanksgiving to show any symptoms and come back to school on December 2nd healthy. This will also give us a two day run of our online education and we can work out any kinks or technology issues.

• Technology –Students should bring their devices home with them on the Friday before Thanksgiving.
• Special Education – Students will learn online for these two days and your teacher will be in touch with parents.
• Little Laker Club – There will be no Little Laker Club.
• Meals – Schools meals (breakfast and lunch) will be available for these two days and may be picked up at Door #1 on Monday, November 30th. A form with more information will be sent home with students, e-mailed to families as an attachment to this letter and available on our website.
• Athletic Teams – Coaches will communicate to athletes and families about practice/game plans.
• Booster Sports- There will be no booster sports practices on these days.
• Fitness Center- The fitness center will remain open for members.
• Headstart- There will be no Headstart classes.
• Office- During the entire Thanksgiving break, please contact the school with information of students being tested or showing signs. Call us at 715-986-4470 or email us.

We will return in person on December 2. If your child is having symptoms, please do not send them to school.

If you have any questions, please contact your Principal.

• Grades PK-5: Troy Wagner
• Grades 6-12: Jason Hinze
