Health Resources

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The virus that causes COVID-19 is thought to spread mainly between people who are in close contact with one another (within about six feet) through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

Remote Learning

The Lewis Cass Schools places a high priority on the quality of instruction we provide to all of our students and the manner in which it’s delivered.  In extenuating circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic, remote learning may be utilized as a method for providing instruction when face-to-face interaction isn’t possible.
