Has your child stayed at home, even as schools re-started in September?  Did you try one of the on-line learning programs and come away a little disappointed?  Your child can start or restart with Lyle School District at any time.  Just contact us to get the process started. Email support@lyleschools.org or call 509-365-2211, extension 120.

We've been praised by other districts and education leaders for developing a flexible system and getting off to a solid start providing hybrid learning, with students attending approximately one day a week on-site and receiving instruction remotely the remainder of the time. Now we've been approved to bring more students to school, while we continue to comply with all safety requirements like physical distancing, wearing masks and practicing careful handwashing and cleaning/sanitation. (And of course, if you prefer to have your child participate in remote learning only, that's still perfectly fine!)

When you contact us, we'll schedule a time to pick up a laptop computer. Because of safety rules, we cannot work with you on a drop-in basis. Call 509-365-2211, extension 120 to schedule a time to come in.

If your child is going to ride the bus to school, you can go to our website and look up the schedule.

Some routes change daily. It’s important you get the right schedule for the day your child attends school. On our website, www.lyleschools.org, pull down just below the large photo slider and tap on the Bus Routes icon. You'll wind up here. https://lyleschools.org/District/Department/8-Transportation-Department/1206-2020-2021-Bus-Routes.html

Select the route and the day your child comes to school. Your child must get on at the stop closest to your house. He or she will not be allowed on at a different stop. For health and safety reasons, seats are assigned, children will load back to front, and will be seated well apart from one another. That's why they have to get on at the assigned bus stop.

If you are dropping off your child, please know that only staff and students may enter the building at this time.  

And remember to do a home health check each day your child is scheduled to come to school. First and foremost, look for signs of a fever – if your thermometer registers over 100.4 degrees, your child must stay home – no exceptions. Do not administer a fever reducer and send your child to school -- we will probably figure it out pretty quickly, and it will be a huge hassle for you and for us.

There are other symptoms of COVID-19 you should look for too – if you aren’t sure what to look for, go to the Health Page on our website.

We will do a health screening at the door as children arrive, and in the afternoon before they come home. Again - this is SO important - don't send your child if there is ANY sign of illness that may be COVID-19.

We love all of our kids, and want them to be able to attend school safely, and we want to keep school open even on this crazy, limited schedule. Help us do that, please.

One more change from last year – we will not be able to deliver meals, but we will provide meals for kids for their home instruction days. These packages can get pretty big, so sending them home on the bus with the younger students is probably not going to work out. We are asking parents to pick them up. Go to our School Meals page for more information.
