Given the latest updates from the Governor and Illinois moving to mitigation level III, we have made a few adjustments at Leyden that we wanted to share with you. These include:

• Open Campus access will be closed temporarily. Once we return to mitigation level II or better, we will quickly offer this program once again.
• While in mitigation level III, we have temporarily paused all in-person athletics and activities. Please look for more information from coaches and sponsors on what this means for students in these programs.
• Leyden will continue to offer food service both on campus and throughout the community as we have been doing. This will continue, no matter what!

Thank you to all of our parents and guardians who took part in our Quarter 2 Parent-Teacher Conferences this past Tuesday. We had a great turnout, and the conversations were impactful and powerful. We appreciate you taking the time to meet with your students’ teachers and partner with us to help in their journey and success!

As a reminder, we will be holding conferences for both Quarter 3 and Quarter 4 as we did this semester. Look for more information as we get closer!

Last evening, the Class of 2023 kicked off a month of spirit by hosting an “Office Trivia Night” virtually, where nearly 25 students took part! It was a great time, and our winner took home prizes!

In the coming weeks, we’ve love to have our students take part in these spirit events!

Last year, Student Services made “YouScience,” a really great career inventory tool, available to students. We will be using the results of every students’ inventory during Advisory lessons next year. We need every current sophomore and junior student to complete it. Please have your student log in to www.youscience.com with their Leyden login and password. If they have an account, please check to see they have completed the inventory and have career results. If they have not completed it, please have them do so. For assistance, contact Ms. Pena at rpena@leyden212.org
