Hello LCSD Families, 

Looks like that cold weather is here and it could get colder! We know it’s Leadville, but this is cold even for us.

LCSD plans to run classes as normal on Monday and Tuesday. Our schools provide warmth and meals, in addition to learning. We hope to see your student at school!

A couple of reminders for school operations with the cold weather: 

• Please be mindful of your student being dressed for the weather. Covering up skin is particularly important.
• Try to minimize the time that your student may wait at the bus stop.
• We do not hold outside recess when extreme weather is a factor, and will have indoor recess instead.
• If you choose to keep your student home, please make sure to contact the school to excuse the absence.

Please stay warm and reach out to your child’s school if there is anything we can do to help. Cloud City Conservation Center is also offering assistance with home heating costs and safety concerns related to staying warm at home. Call 719-465-6164 for more information.

Thank you!

The LCSD Team

“Designed to recognize and promote hands-on math teaching in upper elementary and middle school classrooms, the Rosenthal Prize carries a cash award of $25,000 for the single best activity, plus up to five additional monetary awards for other innovative activities.  The winning teacher(s) will have the opportunity to share their activities with educators around the world.

Congratulations to Dylan Kane, first place winner of the 2024 Rosenthal Prize for Innovation and Inspiration in Math Teaching for his lesson, “Climbing Stairs.”  Ever do the same thing over again and get different results?  In Dylan’s winning lesson, students will get in motion, find patterns, play with dominoes, and wonder about hidden connections to a famous recursive sequence.  The simplest things will bring students joy and have them looking for math in the world around them.  Dylan is a seventh grade math teacher at Lake County High School in Leadville, CO, and was awarded a $25,000 cash prize.”

Congratulations, Dylan!
