The District is horrified to report that a swastika was found scribbled in one of our buildings hallways. This is a hate crime. Lawrence has zero tolerance for hate. We have contacted the 4th Precinct to report this terrible discovery.
The pain caused by this is so contrary to our mission statement and the kindnesses I see reflected by the members of this beautiful community.
It is terrible to report such an incident, but necessary to engage in conversation that dismantles hate.
Your support is always appreciated.

Go Golden Tornadoes!!!
Lawrence,
Forgive the typos - it’s been a long two years!
We received guidance late last night that masks on buses are OPTIONAL . Children are no longer required to wear a mask in school or on the bus. Anyone who wants to continue to use to wear a mask is certainly welcome to.
Thank you again and wishing you a wonderful Wednesday
Dr.Pedersen
Lawrence Families,
Today was the last school day that masks were required! Starting tomorrow it is your option to have your child wear a mask in school. Guidance on buses has not been given, so for now please ask your child to wear their mask on the bus. The Lawrence community has been incredible during these last two years . Thank you for all you have done. Let us be hopeful that only good days are ahead.
With Pride,
Dr. Pedersen
