Elementary Parents and Teachers: Seesaw is now back online. You can continue to use the program. Thank you for patience!

Meal Delivery Now Available: The National School Lunch Program has further relaxed their requirements for school meal service during the school shutdown. Families can organize a pick up for their neighborhood now. Parents or guardians will have to sign a one-time release for their kids' meals, allowing someone else to pick up for them. Parents who will be wanting someone else in their neighborhood to pick up meals will need to sign the release at the site where the meals will be picked up. Those children's meals will need to be picked up at the same site each day. If you are organizing a neighborhood pick up, please bring boxes or bags large enough to carry all the meals you will be picking up.

Elementary Parents and Teachers- Seesaw is experiencing an outage right now. We will let you know when the system is back up and running. In the meantime, take a recess break and enjoy the weather! Thanks Mr. Cannon and Mr. Turner!

Governor Kelly's "Stay at Home” order will not affect school meals! School food service is considered an essential service and is exempt from the executive order.


Playgrounds in Lyons are now closed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The parks are still open but the equipment is off limits.


Thank you to all the parents and students who picked up their student belongings and computers and checked out for the year! We had great participation and appreciate your help!


School meal change—the National School Lunch Program has allowed schools to request a waiver to allow parents or guardians to pick up meals for their students without the child present. Lyons has applied for the waiver. As early as next week parents or guardians may be able to pick up meals for their kids after signing a one-time assurance. We will update you after the waiver has been approved by the state.


ACT has cancelled the April ACT test. Students who were registered for April need to go to act.org and change their test date to June or July.
