Welcome to a New School Year!
I am very excited and honored to spend another year with the Lietz family! I look forward to all of the learning and adventures that lie ahead of us this new school year.
I cannot express enough how wonderful it has been to see your children in-person. In just a few days, I have noticed friendships flourishing, engaging activities and lots and lots of smiles!
Because communication is a key to successful experiences for students, teachers and families, at Lietz we will support and foster this in a number of ways: newsletters, hard copy flyers, email, the school website, phone conversations, Zoom meetings and personal meetings. Please always feel comfortable to come to me with any feedback, suggestions or ideas you might have! I will send a newsletter weekly. Please be sure to take some time and review it as it will contain news, updated safety guidelines, and lots of fun updates!
Here's to 2021-2022! I know it will be a great year.

COVID-19 Safety Measures and Protocols

USD requires adherence to all state and local health guidance and protocols on campus in order to ensure the health and safety of all individuals on campus.
