There will be no school for USD 495 tomorrow, February 16th due to the predicted winter weather by the National Weather Service, specifically the winter storm advisory in effect for our school district. We are expecting moderate snow in our area with high winds that will cause blowing snow and difficult travel conditions. All activity practices are cancelled for tomorrow. The 3rd/4th grade Music Program will be rescheduled for a later date. Student safety is always our top priority and we appreciate your support.
Fourth graders were challenged to decorate a Valentine's box. Here were the top 3 from each class. All of the kids made some really creative boxes. Thank you families for helping put these together.

This guy earned himself a good news call home! Way to go! #goodnewscallhome
Today we are celebrating our School Resource Officers! SRO's are trained law enforcement officers, but they provide so much more to our students. Marc Perez and Nicholas Delaney (our backup SRO) have a unique assignment, as they serve as added security, but they also educate on law and provide the students another trusted person they can talk to. Our School Resource Officers are an invaluable asset to our district. Thank you! #larnedpride #bettertogether
Mrs. DeMond tells us that late last night she threw out her lesson plans for today. She said it was wearing on her heart that her students wanted to do something special for Valentines Day so she completely started from scratch and made a game show to go along with what they're learning in class. We simply have the best teachers! Way to go, Mrs. DeMond! #larnedpride
Thank you Dillons for showing our staff some love today. We appreciate the roses every year! It's the little things.
