We hope everyone is having a terrific summer! Our schools and district leaders have been working on detailed plans for reopening schools and providing educational services this fall using the Louisiana Department of Education's Guidelines updated on June 23, 2021. Louisiana remains under a Public Health Emergency and is expected to remain in Phase 3 until the end of 2021. Lincoln Parish School Board will work diligently to ensure our students and employees are safe throughout this pandemic. In order to keep parents and guardians up to date, the Lincoln Parish School Board has developed the Ready to Achieve Plan. Much like the Strong Start Plan implemented last year, this document includes start dates, a link to supply lists, and re-opening guidelines for the 2021-2022 school year. We are so excited to welcome students back to school next month and look forward to having a great year! To view The Ready to Achieve Plan, please follow the link below! https://5il.co/vjzf
