WIFI IN SCHOOL PARKING LOTS - NEW
Beginning April 15th, wifi access will be available to students at each school building parking lot. Please practice social distancing parameters while in the parking lots as this is not a reason for groups of students to congregate. Students can utilize their school issued Chromebooks and access the student wifi.
FOOD SERVICE - NOTICE
This is a reminder that food service is available for all children under the age of 18. Everyone is eligible; there is no need to complete an application, or qualify for free and reduced lunches to receive this food. Please contact Jan Friedrich by email at [email protected] or 614-579-8807 to provide the number of children under 18 in your household.
A weekly allocation of meals will be ready for curbside pick every MONDAY from 4:00 to 6:00 P.M. behind the middle school building. There is also a Thurston pick up location from 4:30 P.M. to 5:30 P.M.
Even though we are on Spring Break on Monday the 13th, we will STILL have weekly food pick up this day.
The district will not be responsible for monitoring food allergies during this time. However, if your child has a severe allergy to peanut butter, please let us know, as we will routinely be using Uncrustables.
SPRING BREAK - NOTICE
The Liberty Union-Thurston School District will honor its originally planned Spring Break beginning this Friday, April 10th through Tuesday, April 14th.
