On Oct. 20, the district announced that all grades 4-6 students who have chosen the in-person learning track will join pre-K-3 graders in learning in a full-time, in-person learning model starting on Nov. 16. 

Grades 7-12 will continue to learn through a hybrid model and R-7 Online Academy students who wish to continue learning online will be able to do so. 

The 2019-2020 Lee’s Summit West High School volleyball team received national recognition for its team grade-point average. With a 3.674 GPA, the LSW team was among just 464 high school girls teams to earn the Team Academic Award from the American Volleyball Coaches Association. 

Forty-five students across the Lee’s Summit R-7 School District received national awards from the U.S. Air Force JROTC. JROTC seeks to develop citizens of character who are dedicated to serving their nation and community.

LSR7’s four-year Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP) concludes at the end of the 2020-2021 school year. Last month, we invited interested stakeholders — teachers, students, parents, and community members — to help us develop our next strategic plan. The district assembled a team whose members represent LSR7’s many school communities. This team, composed of various stakeholder groups, will view the district with a global Pre-K-12 lens as we build the district’s next strategic plan. The district is grateful for all applicants who expressed their interest in shaping the future of LSR7.
