Read Aloud Books For All Grades

The K-4 read alouds are somewhat familiar, but this site includes selections for grades 5-8.  The 5-8 books are read by the authors and are Youtube videos.  The first three are installment readings of the entire book. Not sure if “The False Prince” will be the entire book or just the first chapter.  Just click this link to take you to d39 Virtual Library’s collection of read aloud links.

What’s In The Egg?

First Grade has been working hard on their home learning. They had a special project this week and wanted to include the community. Each first grader hid a special object inside of a plastic Easter Egg. Then they came up with 3 clues to describe what is in the egg. The class would like you to try to guess what is in their eggs! Please comment below each individual photo on the original Facebook post (click here) to make your guess! Good luck and Happy Easter from the Hay Springs First Grade!

School Continues with Alternative Education

Panhandle schools will be operating in an alternative learning environment for the remainder of the school year.

After consultation with COVID-19 Unified Command, it has been determined that all schools in the Nebraska Panhandle will remain closed to students and operate in an alternative learning environment for the remainder of the 2019/2020 school year. Traditional graduation ceremonies are not going to be possible this May. Schools will be working to determine appropriate alternative methods to honor the Class of 2020 in each community, whether that be a ceremony at a later date or some other locally determined alternative graduation that complies with the guidance of health officials.

We continue to monitor the unfolding COVID-19 epidemic to anticipate its impact on the Panhandle. We are working as a unified command with Region 21, 22, and 23 Emergency Managers, and Scottsbluff County Health Department on this evolving situation. We will continue to communicate important updates to the public and our partners. The CDC is putting out updated guidance daily; for the most up to date information visit: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html. To learn more about COVID-19, go to https://www.cdc.gov/covid19.

Thanks for your support and cooperation

Sincerely,
D. Russell Lechtenberg
