High School students will report to first hour to start school today for the late start.
No 6th grade award assembly at LMS today due to the late start. We will postpone to next week.
Baseball and Softball games scheduled for today at Lyons have been postponed due to the weather conditions. These games have been rescheduled for Tuesday April 9th at Lyons with the same 4 pm start time.
USD 495 will have a 2-hour delay of school today. With the 2-hour delay there will be no AM Preschool and breakfast will not be served. This delay will provide additional travel time this morning and allow our crews to better prepare our buildings for student and staff arrivals. Student safety is always our top priority and we appreciate your support.
UPDATE: The JV track meet originally set for March 26th at home has been rescheduled for April 8th. Mark your calendars and get ready to cheer on our athletes on the new date! #larnedpride

Mrs. Stahlecker's students dive into budgeting with The Bean Game! 🌱 Starting with 20 beans as income, they make tough choices on spending. Then, reality hits: a job loss causes the loss of 7 beans. Can they adapt? Life throws curveballs, like unexpected ER visits without insurance, teaching valuable lessons on financial planning. #besttribeever #larnedpride #learningisfun
The JV baseball games scheduled for Monday March 25th at Nickerson have been moved to Thursday March 28th because of the poor weather forecast for Monday. #larnedpride
