New Lima Schools

School will not be in session for the remainder of the week due to illness among students and faculty. These days will not be virtual; no work will be sent home. This will allow your students and our teachers the time they need to recover from the various illnesses they have encountered. We will also have custodians on site tomorrow, deep cleaning and sanitizing the entire campus. Although the largest percentage of absences is in the elementary school, the overall school absenteeism is at a record high for this flu and cold season. We have monitored numbers closely, trying to avoid a school closure, but we must take the health and wellness of all students and faculty into consideration. This decision was not made lightly. We apologize for any inconvenience.
