Picture retakes will be on Thursday, October 30 at both schools. If your child did not have their picture taken at our first picture day, they will need to have their picture taken on Thursday. If you would like a retake of your child, they can have their picture taken again on Thursday. If you already purchased photos, please return them to school on Thursday to give to the photographer. If you have not ordered photos yet, please tell your child to have their picture taken and let their teacher know so we don't miss them.

Dear Parents/Guardians.
Lewistown Jr/Sr High students will have the opportunity to participate in a mental health screener. This screener is voluntary and will be used to help identify students who may need mental health resources. A link to access the Pediatric Symptom Checklist-17 will be sent to each student's email. Again, this is a voluntary screener therefore it will not be necessary to opt your student out. Please contact me, Serenity Wallick, with any questions or concerns.
