TUESDAY, JANUARY 16th ONLINE LEARNING DAY INFORMATION

Due to the National Weather Service’s wind chill warning that forecasts extreme cold temperatures, with wind chills as low as -35 degrees through late Tuesday morning, January 16, will be an inclement weather online learning day for all students, and schools will be closed to in-person learning. Click here to access Tuesday’s online learning schedule. During online learning days due to inclement weather, families may still call the school to obtain an excused absence for their student.


As the weather advisory also states that the weather will be warming up significantly by Tuesday afternoon, we are able to allow some high school after-school athletics and activities to continue as scheduled. Please look for additional information from your student’s high school regarding after-school activities.


While the timing and severity of these arctic fronts are difficult to predict with 100% accuracy, the district will be implementing our shortened online learning day out of an abundance of caution due to severe cold weather impacts on buses, as well as the number of students who walk to school.

Drumline and LHS Band Fundraiser

Have you been putting off buying a mattress?

Sunday, January 21st from 10am-5pm at the LHS gym we'll be having a massive sale with 35+ beds set up to try out and order. These are not your bargain basement mattresses but the good ones like Beauty Rest and Sealy plus sheets and bed frames and massage chairs and more. This company that runs it doesn't have a brick and mortar store, just fundraisers for kids at schools and passes on major savings to all, up to 50% off retail. A portion of the sales profits will help the Longmont Combined High Schools drumline get to the Drumline World Championships AND the LHS band students go on their trip! Get a great night's rest (or your kids or guest room) AND support these awesome kids!
