Lyon Families,

That's a wrap! This wasn't the ending we had in mind when we began the 2019-2020 school year; nevertheless, the year has come to a close.

We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we threw lots of information, dates, and new learning your way. Lyon leaders handled the changes like champs!

We are working now to adjust the Lyon environment to ensure students are safe and remain healthy on our return.

That being said, have a safe summer. We miss you and can't wait to kick off the 2020-2021 school year in August.


Sincerely,

Casey Mitchell, principal
Leanne Gove, assistant principal
Virtual summer school is currently taking place for secondary students. However, we are EXCITED to announce that we will be able to host seated summer school for incoming kindergarten-12th grade students! Elementary seated summer school will be July 6-24 and July 6-16 for middle school and high school students.

While we are SO HAPPY to have students and teachers back on our campuses, it's important to note we are working with the Springfield-Greene County Health Department to establish protocols to mitigate the risk of virus spreading at school. There have been a lot of recommendations released by many different organizations in regards to schools reopening. Please be assured we are working hard to diligently examine each of these recommendations and to implement practices that will balance the normal and needed activities of the school day and keeping our students and teammates healthy. As we have more details they will be shared.


Registration for seated summer school will be communicated next week, and health-related protocols will follow later in June. Stay tuned!

Thank you so much for being patient with us as we have worked to reschedule kindergarten screening dates and continue to create plans for kindergarten orientation! Regardless of the uniqueness and uncertainty of this time, we are VERY EXCITED to welcome our kindergarten students in the fall!

That said, kindergarten screening dates have been rescheduled per the below dates. Screening times will be between 8:45 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Starting Thursday, May 14 our schools began contacting families who previously scheduled to reschedule. However, families are welcome to contact the office to set a time as well. Anyone who has not previously scheduled an appointment is encouraged to contact our schools as we have plenty of openings and want to screen as many students as possible!
