The Education Forward document provides lengthy data-driven recommendations and considerations for schools as they plan to resume services for students during the 2020-2021 school year.
At LFS, many hours of research and planning have already taken place, and a special committee is re-convening on Monday to continue to develop solutions to the challenges the COVID-19 pandemic presents.
If you have not already, please fill out the Family Survey linked below - your feedback will help to guide our ongoing discussions as we plan. It is the District's goal to release plans to our La Farge Schools community by August 1. #EveryStudentEveryDay

Dear La Farge Families-
This year has been like no other, and is finally drawing to close. We are proud of all of our students and families for their flexibility, resiliency, and hard work during these unprecedented times! Please read on for details about how school materials can be returned and student materials can be picked up.
On Monday, June 1 and Tuesday, June 2, La Farge Schools students/families are invited to drive up to the main entrance to return Chromebooks, text books, instruments, library books, or anything else that belongs to the school. At the same time, you can pick up any items that were left at school in students' desks, lockers, and coat hooks. Please keep in mind that no students or family members will be allowed into the buildings, and everyone must stay in their vehicles. A staff member will meet you outside to retrieve any materials you had at home, and will bring out any materials that your student had left at school.
Chromebooks:
- If you are experiencing any difficulty with your Chromebook (not charging, keys not working, mouse pad not working, any damages, etc), please write us a note about what might need to be repaired.
- Remember to return the charger cable too.
Instruments:
- For all returning band students, instruments can be kept at home through the summer.
- Seniors, students who are not participating in band in 2020-2021, and students who are not planning to return to La Farge Schools should return their instruments to school
