CARDINGTON-LINCOLN SCHOOLS WILL BE CLOSED BEGINNING, MONDAY, MARCH 16TH IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GOVERNOR’S EXECUTIVE ORDER
MARCH 25th UPDATE
Children are still allowed to pick up meals at the High School loading dock. There have been some concerns that the state’s new “Stay at Home” order meant they could no longer go to obtain food. This program falls under one of the identified reasons you are ALLOWED to leave your home. We encourage you to follow social distancing guidelines and stay at least six feet away from others who are on site. We have been averaging over 300 students served both breakfast and lunch each day starting at 10:30 and ending at 12:30pm. If you have not yet taken advantage of this for your family, we are able to make more. Please come!
MARCH 18th 10:30 am UPDATE
District Update for March 18th, 2020
STUDENTS LAST DAY BEFOR THE CLOSURE WILL BE FRIDAY, MARCH 13TH, 2020
3:00 PM UPDATE March 13th
Thank you to our families, staff, and students for their efforts and understanding during this challenging time.
In his address on March 13th, Governor DeWine shared that the Federal Government has approved a waiver to allow for meals to be served off site by our Food Service Program. We will thus be providing meals to all Cardington-Lincoln District children ages 1-18 (as well as all High School Students regardless of age). Please see the following document for further information.

District Plan For “Make Up Days”
Dear Cardington-Lincoln Parents and Guardians,
The combination of weather and bad luck with our water main break in October has put the district in the unfortunate position of looking at “make up” days for this school year. Grades 7-12 must attend a minimum of 1001 hours during a school year, and Grades K-6 must attend 910 hours by law. To begin the school year, we were able to miss the equivalent of 11 school days in grades 7-12, and as of February 1st, we have now used 10 days. Please remember that two hour delays now count against our total hours attended. (Click Here to Continue Reading)
