Good morning, LRSD families,
Out of an abundance of caution and after consultation with surrounding districts, LRSD’s Safety and Security team, First Student Transportation, and the National Weather Service, LRSD will close schools and offices on Thursday and Friday, January 9-10, 2025, due to anticipated inclement weather. Forecasters predict significant freezing/snow conditions moving into our area starting tomorrow. All athletic events are also canceled. In making weather-related decisions, LRSD prioritizes the safety of students and staff.
LRSD staff, please monitor your emails for additional instructions from our Human Resources Department.
As a reminder, LRSD will keep staff and families updated through our App, social media platforms, website, LRSD TV, and our traditional media partners. Stakeholders are encouraged to download the free LRSD App so they never miss a message from the district.
Thank you, and stay safe!

Good evening PHE families. We are sending home a parent letter this week regarding the Atlas Portal and a code you can use to view your child's results. If your child is in K-3rd grade, you will be able to view their screener data from the beginning of the 24-25 school year. If your child is in 4th-5th grade, you will be able to see their summative assessment from the 23-24 school year. Please keep in mind, Atlas is a new test for all of us and we are still learning what the scores mean. We are expecting more training on how to accurately read the scores and next steps to help students make progress. Those trainings should take place at the beginning of November. We will share more information as soon as we know more about how to interpret the data. Lastly, this data is a snapshot in time and is only one piece of data we will use to help us teach your child effectively. Thank you for your continued support.
Anna Lloyd, Principal
