Lowville Academy and Central School

Dear Parents/Guardians, We are seeing a severe increase in students sick with a flu-like illness, with several confirmed positive flu cases that have been reported. If your child is not feeling well, please check their temperature and do not send them to school with a fever. They must be fever-free, without the use of fever-reducing medications, for twenty four hours before they can return to school. Also, please do not send them to school if they have vomited or had diarrhea in the past 24 hours. Our custodians are working on deep cleaning and disinfecting classrooms and other frequently touched surfaces to help ensure the safety and health of our students. Please help us control the spread of illness by keeping your child home if they are not feeling well. Please refer to this PDF link for further information. shorturl.at/dERV4 Thanks, Liana Monnat, RN at LACS

Yesterday, the residents of Lowville Academy and Central School District voted in favor of a 14.9 M Capital Improvement Project. The district would like to thank all of those who came out to vote for safety, equity, and opportunity for our students and community. As we move into the design phase, the district will be working with stakeholder groups to gather input on the details for each piece. We are excited at the potential of this project and look forward to working with our faculty, staff, and community.

Good luck Lowville FFA!
