Effective tomorrow (11/10), ALL in-person L.K. Moss Elementary students will transition to distance (work from home) learning and will return to school on November 30th. THE MIDDLE/HIGH SCHOOL WILL CURRENTLY REMAIN IN-PERSON.
A food service member at L.K. Moss has tested positive for COVID-19, and while there has not been a widespread outbreak, the entire food service staff must be quarantined. With no cafeteria staff, students would not have access to school meals. *There will be no lunch delivery during this time.
While there has been no exposure to the students in the cafeteria, the affected employee also works in the transportation department. If your child was exposed via transportation, you will be contacted personally this afternoon.
A couple of bus routes may run next week to deliver instructional materials and packets. Please watch the website for updates.
An employee at LK Moss Elementary School has tested positive for COVID-19. Based on contact tracing and regulations, the situation has resulted in other employees and one class being quarantined. Students in classes where direct exposure did not occur will continue with school as usual. We will continue to monitor the situation in the upcoming days. If your child has been directly exposed to someone at school who has tested positive, you will be personally notified.
One of our high school employees had direct contact with someone outside of school who tested positive for COVID-19. The employee has been sent home to quarantine. We will continue to monitor the situation. As always, if your child or teen has been in contact with someone who tests positive, you will be personally notified.
We have had a high school student test positive for COVID-19. Based on contact tracing and guidance from the department of health, no student was determined to have direct exposure so no one will have to be quarantined at this time. We are posting this information in an effort to keep the community informed. We will continue to monitor the situation and will update you when necessary.
We will have an inter-squad football scrimmage on Thursday, November 5th. We will begin with Senior night recognition at 5:15. (Seniors and their 2 escorts are asked to arrive no later than 5:00.) The Homecoming Court recognition will be held around 6:00 during halftime.

Multiple services are currently down due to a Microsoft authentication outage. Services requiring office 365 are inaccessible. We are aware of the situation and monitoring for response from Microsoft.
We are currently making plans for students in grades 10-12 (who did not opt to work from home for the first semester) to return to campus on Thursday, October 1. This is the most challenging group of students, as they are the most social both at and away from the school campus. Also, with students changing to various classes during the day, it is more difficult to map their contacts than it has been for our middle school students. For this reason, large groups may need to be quarantined if any student near them tests positive.
If there is a question about your child's health, please keep him/her home and contact the school immediately. We are extremely excited to have so many of our students back with us, and our ultimate goal is to keep them healthy and safe.
Our school system has identified its first COVID case, which occurred at the Middle/High School. This incident requires a small number of individuals to quarantine; parents of affected students have already been notified. Unfortunately, this will probably be our ongoing reality as we go through the next several weeks. Please assist us with our efforts by keeping children home when they are sick or have been exposed. Also, please notify the school of any COVID-related changes in your child’s health or environment. This will help us to manage individual situations successfully and to minimize the number of people who have to be quarantined.
It is extremely important to the success and future of Marion County and the City of Buena that have the most accurate census count possible. To date, we are at 35 % self-response which is not good and only you as an individual can change this number.
Let us improve our numbers by simply clicking on the link below and complete the necessary information to be counted. This is for our future.
