Dear LR Families,

Beginning Monday April 6, we enter phase II of our extended closure. LR teachers, instructional coaches, and principals have been working hard to prepare learning resources for our students. Please understand, LR is not converting to a virtual school, you are not expected to start a homeschool, we are all simply trying to make the best of a difficult situation.

The “LR Learning Resources” page on the district website has been made as convenient as possible with the end user in mind. You can click on your child’s school for links to PK-8 learning resource packets. The packets will be posted on Fridays for each following week. If you need a hardcopy resource packet, those will be handed out with curbside meal service Monday evenings 4:00 - 6:00 PM at the Upper Elementary. Please contact your student’s school office if you need other arrangements for pickup during the week. 

Learning for high school students will look different than PK-8 and that’s ok. The PK-8 resources are a guide; they are not going to be submitted for a grade, and they are not time-bound, however, we welcome you to reach out to your child’s teacher for assistance/feedback. Students grades 9-12 must complete assignments to prove proficiency and continue progress toward course completion in order to earn credit. Students 9-12 must check their email and Canvas classes daily. Please call the High School office at 753-2813 or the Middle School office at 753-2896 for needs related to Canvas or learning resources. We have also set up a tech help line 753-4760 in addition to tech support via email lrsupport@logrogstudents.net. 

Many families are experiencing additional hardships brought on by job closures and lay-offs. Care to Learn wants to ensure student needs continue to be met. We have streamlined the process to receive assistance from Care to Learn. Parents can request a voucher on the Care to Learn webpage. You can also contact Angie Harrell - LR Care to Learn Coordinator at aharrell@logrog.net.

The Emergency Meal Service will change beginning Monday, April 6. To reduce the amount of contact and exposure, we will distribute a week’s worth of breakfast/lunches on Monday 4:00 - 6:00 PM at the Upper Elementary. If you have signed up for delivery services, delivery will also happen on Monday afternoon. Should you need to change from curbside to delivery, or if you are now able to pick-up curbside Monday evenings, please call the District Administrative Office, leave a message and your call will be returned: 753-2891. You can still sign up for the Emergency Meal Service through the following link Emergency Meal Service. We want to thank the LR Food Service Staff for their dedication to our students and community.

All district cancellations and information regarding school events, can be found on the district webpage dedicated to Activities/Athletics/Events. We will update this website daily as information is made available.

We will continue to provide a weekly update from the district, or as needed. Please reach out to your child’s teacher with questions or concerns during their daily virtual office hours 9:00 - 11:00 AM. If you are unable to email during designated time for an immediate response, please email anytime of day and they will respond within 24 hours.

We appreciate the outpouring of support for our students and community. If you have questions or need clarification, please feel free to call the district office at 753-2891.
