Today we received an original 1927 Quilna from Mr. Tim Ludwig. Mr. Ludwig also gifted Quilna's from 1944, 1942 and 1938. Thank you for your generosity!
Students should hydrate all throughout the course of these hot days. Students may bring water to school in a clear, plastic container. They can also purchase water (a water bottle) at lunch or breakfast. These can be used in the classrooms and hallways. It will be important this year to have an individualized water bottle. We can not use the drinking fountains. We have ordered water filling stations; however, I am not sure they will be delivered and ready to use right at the beginning of school.
Parents/Caregivers will have to fill out the "traditional" first day of school paperwork via new software called "Final Forms." Please fill out your student's paperwork now. Go to the District Webpage under the "News" section for the link to "Final Forms".
An adjustment has been made to the earlier published COVID Newsletter, the status of face shields changed over the weekend. Per an announcement 8/15 per the State Health Department, face shields may only be worn by students or staff with a documented health condition.
Our apologies...we fixed a few typos in yesterday's newsletter. Click https://www.limashawnee.com/o/shawnee-middle/browse/106956 to view.
If your 8th grade student is taking any advanced classes, please do not pre-write your check for fees. The fees listed in the newsletter are inaccurate. You will get an itemized statement on your student's schedule when picking up fees.

Good afternoon everyone,
We realize you have many questions during this uncertain time and we are doing our best to answer them to the best of our ability. In many cases we are unable to provide immediate answers as this is a rapidly changing situation.
Right now our focus is ensuring that we can continue to provide the highest quality of education possible for our students.
Staff members continue to work diligently to ensure successful online instruction.
For those students/parents who have not yet logged on and are having difficulty doing so, please contact your child’s teacher as soon as possible so that they can assist you. It is imperative that students continue to work on their coursework during this time.
If you are a parent/guardian of a Shawnee student who does not have internet connectivity, please email dittol@limashawnee.com.
The third nine-week grading period ends tomorrow. Report card distribution information will be made available next week.
Some students were given paper assignments to complete prior to school closure. Teachers will let your student know how to turn those in soon.
We are continuing to review the issue of food distribution for our students. It is our hope that we will have information to share with you early next week.
If you have not yet reviewed our earlier updates, please take a moment to do so as they contain important information. We have been posting updates daily. Moving forward, we anticipate postings will be less frequent. Updates and parent resources can be found on our website: www.limashawnee.com.
Thank you for your continued support of our staff and students,
James Kanable, Superintendent
