Lino Lakes Elementary was recently named a School of Excellence by the Minnesota Elementary School Principal's Association. Jan Masterson, principal at Lino, attributed this honor to the fact that "Lino Lakes Elementary is a great place for kids thanks to the contributions from an effective partnership of dedicated, caring staff, supportive parents, and phenomenal students. Every staff person contributes to the total program designed to help each student reach his/her potential. It is an honor to serve with the Lino Lakes community where our vision of ‘Together we're building a community of care and hope’ is lived on a daily basis."

Like many schools around the state, our school has seen a recent increase in the number of students and/or staff who have been reporting Influenza Like Illness (ILI) symptoms.

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has asked that we report to them if either of two situations occur in our school: 1) 5 percent or more of the total student population of our school has reported ILI symptoms during any given time period; or 2) any of our classrooms has three or more students reporting ILI symptoms during any given time period.

We want parents to know that, while we are not experiencing what we would consider a high rate of this type of illness, our school has reported to MDH that one of these situations has occurred in our school since classes began this fall.

If our school’s rate of ILI reporting increases dramatically, we will be sending out further communications to inform our families.
