Alma Public Schools

If you plan to attend the softball tournament at Lexington this Saturday, August 22, see the following guidelines LPS will be enforcing: Lexington Public Schools is announcing that for the 2020 Fall Season, Spectators and Fans at LPS extracurricular activities will be required to wear masks or face coverings. Masks and face coverings must cover the nose and mouth at all times during the game or event. Children under the age of six will not be required to wear masks. These events include Cross Country Meets, Football Games, Golf Tournaments, Softball Games, Tennis Matches, and Volleyball Games. We also request that spectators socially distance themselves when in attendance at LPS events. Only members of the same family should be within six feet of each other. Lexington Public Schools is grateful to have the opportunity to host athletics and other events during the Covid-19 pandemic. The safety of all persons in attendance, and the sportsmanship of our contests are top priorities. Thank you for doing your part in keeping our community and school a safe and supportive environment!

Here are a few reminders from our Return to School Plan that we want to make sure everyone remembers to help make each day go as smoothly as possible: 1. Make sure you screen your child at home for temperature, cough and other symptoms. 2. If they have a temperature of 100.4 or above they need to stay at home until they are fever free for 24 hours without medication. 3. Please, if at all possible, do not send your child to school until 7:45 if they are eating breakfast, or 7:55 if they are not. 4. Students should use the West, East, Commons, or South doors to enter the building. These are the only four sets of doors that will be unlocked. 5. Upon arrival, all students and staff will have their temperature checked and will sanitize their hands. Once that has been completed we will have staff available to help students get to the correct classroom. 6. When dropping off and/or picking up your child(ren) do not congregate outside of the entrance or exit areas. Social distancing practices should be followed, and parents are encouraged to stay in their vehicle during drop-off and pick-up. 7. At the end of the school day the students riding the bus will exit through the East door. Elementary students not riding the bus will exit through the West door near the Kindergarten room, and secondary students will exit through the East, Commons, and South doors. #ProudToBeACardinal #ShareToBeAware
