A Message from Dr. Malinoski, Superintendent of Schools
Dear Cedar Families,

We want to wish all our students and families a wonderful month filled with joy, peace, and the warmth of the holiday season.
Warm regards,
Nicole L. Malinoski, Ed. D.

Winter Break
The Lebanon School District Schools will be closed Monday, December 23, 2024, through Friday, January 3, 2025. Schools will reopen for students on Monday, January 6, 2025!
PowerSchool Parent/Guardian Access
The Lebanon School District is committed to strengthening our bond with parents and families. We believe this bond begins with excellent communication, which is the heart of successful organizations. PowerSchool is the student information system used in the district by teachers, counselors and administrators to manage student data. Parents/Guardians use their account to view their child(ren)'s grades and attendance.
If you do not have a PowerSchool Parent Account, please fill out the information listed in the link below and we will send detailed instructions to the confirmed email address, allowing you to view data for your child(ren).
Inclement Weather, THREE Snow Days, FID Days!
In other words, for the first THREE days the district closes due to inclement weather, schools will be closed and students will not work online from home as the instructional days will be made up.
If the district needs additional weather make-up days beyond these three, then we will transition to Flexible Instructional Day (FID). On FIDs, students will complete work at home and receive credit for the day. Please click on the link below to learn more about FIDs.

Student Transit Cards
All Lebanon School District students are eligible to apply for a Lebanon Transit student fare card and ride the bus for $1.00. Students will need to complete a brief application and verify school enrollment (student photo ID, a letter signed by the school, or student fare card from the previous academic year). Once the application is approved and the fare card is received, students can board a Lebanon Transit fixed route bus, present their student fare card, and pay the reduced fare of $1.00.
Please see one of our SAIP coordinators for more information!
