Hello, Mustang Parents,
Here is our January communication packet which includes a letter about Ms. Strong's reassignment for the rest of this semester. We will miss her! Please sign up and help on 1/18! Stay safe and warm!
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!

Our 2nd Graders have been learning about Westward Expansion during their Wit & Wisdom Literacy block. GT Teacher, Lori Forbes, let them experinece a little more of what pioneer life was like by helping them churn cream into butter. All students agree butter is better when you make it yourself.

'Tis the Season, Mustang Country, and we are not talking about the upcoming Holiday Season. It is Cold, Flu and Virus Season!! Please remember that if your child has fever, vomiting or diarrhea that they should stay home until they are symptom free for 24 hours WITHOUT medication. We are passing some nasty bugs around school and we need your help stamping them out!
Free flu vaccines at McDermott Elementary to students on Friday, November 1, 2024, from 9 AM to 11 AM. Only students who have both pages of LRSD and ADH consent forms (front and back) filled out, signed and return to school will receive the vaccine.
If you do not wish for your child to get the flu shot, then disregard!
Please call me if you have any questions.
