Today a STAY INSIDE safety protocol was implemented at all of our schools in response to heavy police presence near Reavis Elementary School. This procedure has been lifted as the police vacated the area; however, students will remain indoors the rest of the school day as a precaution. Dismissals will proceed as normal with administrative and police presence (uniformed and/or undercover) at our buildings.

Lansing School District 158's buildings will reopen tomorrow (Wednesday, January 17) and in-person school, extracurricular activities, and athletics will resume for all students. Please dress warmly and contact your child's school with any questions

This morning a smell of gas was identified at Memorial Junior High School due to a malfunctioning part on a snowblower. Our maintenance staff have been performing preventative work in anticipation of the upcoming winter months. We are currently drawing and distributing additional fresh air into the building to dissipate the smell, as well as temporarily relocating rooms as needed. All students and staff are safe. Please contact the office with any questions.
