SCHEDULE FOR REMAINDER OF FEBRUARY |
In the 2020-2021 Student Handbook, Friday, February 26, is listed as an Institute Day. Instead, it should read as a Hybrid Blue Day M-Z, periods 8-5.
The February Institute Day was shifted to Friday, April 23, to ensure everything is in order to finish the year with grades and to begin teacher tech training for next year. There is no student attendance on Institute Day April 23.

SUMMER SCHOOL REGISTRATION OPEN |
In-District Summer Academic Registration is open through Friday, February 19.
To register for a summer course, click Summer Academics. There are dozens of courses to choose from, everything from an online consumer economics class to ceramics, and more.
At this time, a full suite of traditional in-person summer academic offerings is available. The ability to run these courses will be determined by CDC and IDPH guidelines. Course enrollments will be confirmed with families as we move closer to the start of Summer School. The tentative first day of Summer School is Monday, June 7.
Summer Activity Camps are not currently available for enrollment. We will continue to monitor the feasibility of opening those as we move closer to spring.
Click Summer Program for specific information about classes, including the registration process. You can also access additional information by opening the Summer Program Guide.

MUSIC TO OUR EARS, BAND PERFORMS IN PERSON |
Be sure to view the recent Band Concert for their first in-person concert of this school year. Click February Band for the recording.
The concert represents the work students have been doing over the past months through a combination of hybrid and remote learning formats. Each group only had two full group in-person rehearsals prior to the concert.
Band Director Mark Dahl says, "I have been very proud of the resilience and dedication band students have shown this year. It would have been easy for them to make excuses or simply not try and quit, but these students have shown depth of character and commitment. For so long we have taken for granted the ability to meet on a daily basis to make music together. The current situation has made us so thankful for these opportunities and more deeply aware of how much we depend on working together within the Arts to nurture our individual souls and our connections with one another. "

As part of the district's ongoing efforts to improve the experiences of all students, LT participates in a climate survey as required by the Illinois State Board of Education. The survey is a component of our accreditation review and is designed to gauge perceptions about the district and measure performance in a variety of areas. The information you provide will benefit all students and will allow us to collect data to benchmark trends and denote areas of excellence and areas for improvement. The parent survey consists of two parts, so please click on both of them.
Please use the links below to take you to the confidential website.
