Lemoore Union Elementary School District

This week we’ve been encouraging our families to practice some skills at home in preparation for returning to school. Here’s a fun video for your young kids to help practice and learn good hand washing skills. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QnunFtuth8&feature=emb_logo

Remember keeping hands clean through improved hand hygiene is one of the most important steps we can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. -- Recuerde que mantener las manos limpias a través de una mejor higiene de las manos es uno de los pasos más importantes que podemos tomar para evitar enfermarnos y evitar de pasar gérmenes a otras personas.

WE HAVE MISSED YOU AND CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOU! First day of school is Tuesday, August 11, 2020! LUESD will offer two instructional setting options for the 2020/2021 school year. Please visit our website at www.luesd.k12.ca.us for more information.

Happy Fourth of July! #LUESDStrong
