This is a reminder that Lewistown CUSD 97 will have a early dismissal tomorrow, November 25th. All High School students and Central/Elementary walking and pick-up students will be dismissed at 1:45.

This morning, Lewistown Central Elementary School was placed in a “soft lockdown” status, meaning no one was allowed to enter or exit the building and students were kept in their classrooms. This measure was taken out of an abundance of caution after we received information that a note was found that indicated a possible threat of violence. Local law enforcement was contacted and responded immediately and investigated the situation. The soft lockdown status has now been lifted, and there is no threat to students or staff.
We appreciate the quick response of our local police and the cooperation of our students and staff in following safety procedures. The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority.

Thank you to Nick and Amy Christy who presented a donation of $5000 to Lewistown FFA on behalf of the Lewistown Truck and Tractor Pull. Your support of these students and this program is greatly appreciated!
