JH/HS will still be in school, wearing masks, socially distancing, screening all students and employees at the buses and/or front doors, not allowing sick employees or students into school buildings, encouraging continual washing of hands, disinfecting and sanitizing all high traffic areas several times an hour, and avoiding holding any gatherings, unless they’re following the above- mentioned protocols. There are also no visitors into our schools, unless it's a monitored athletic event, and follows all the above-mentioned protocols. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Greetings! The Lame Deer Elementary Library, Head Start and Woodenlegs Library have been working very hard with Dr. Anthony Chow of San Jose University on a grant to place 3 Little Free Libraries around Lamedeer. At each location, free of charge, you may find books of all reading levels to take and enjoy. When you finish you may bring them back for others to read...or pass them on to a friend. All books found in a Little Free Library are always free. Our goal as librarians is to promote literacy to young children. One of the best ways is for a little-one to see grownups reading too! So grab a book and enjoy! Joe Roth, Elementary Librarian Adrienne Violett, Woodenlegs Librarian Roberta Harris, Head Start

LDHS Graduation Class of 2021, your yearbook is here! Contact Ms. Legg for your free book!
