We still have some turf available, so come grab a roll (or more)! If you don't need any, please help spread the word to anyone who might.
Come pick up your turf on Thursday, August 6, starting at 9:00 a.m. behind the high school. We would appreciate a donation, but it is not required.
A few important things to know:
- Someone will be available throughout the day to help load the turf.
- The rolls are heavy, so please come prepared with an appropriate vehicle or trailer.
- You must take an entire roll. We will not allow anyone to cut off a portion and leave the rest behind.
We'd love to see the remaining turf put to good use, so stop by and pick up a roll!
Please see the Lusk Elementary/ Pre-School 2026-2027 Back-to-School Supply List. We are looking forward to seeing everyone soon.
The first day of school is Tuesday, August 18th. Please see the image for the school supply list for 7th - 12th grade. The K-6th was sent home at the end of the school year.
A Niobrara County High School student is organizing a school supply drive. Please see the attached flyers for more information and to learn how you can help support this great community service project.
Back-to-School Immunization Reminder:
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As the new school year quickly approaches, please make sure your child's immunizations are up to date to meet Wyoming school requirements.
Students entering 7th grade are required to receive a Tdap booster before the first day of school.
Children ages 4–6 entering Kindergarten are encouraged to have their "Kindergarten Shots" completed before school starts.
Parents please provide the updated documentation of the required immunizations (or an approved exemption) to the school on or before the first day of school. Thank you!
If your child needs vaccines, please contact your healthcare provider or our local public health office to schedule an appointment before the first day of school.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing all our students here in a couple weeks!

FCCLA had an incredible few days at Nationals in Washington, D.C.! Our students spent two days presenting and competing, and we made sure to explore as much of the city as possible. We took an amazing evening tour of the monuments lit up at night and spent time exploring the Smithsonian Museums, The Capital and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Today was awards day, and proud to announce that Emily received a gold medal, and Jaci, Kamilla, Sophia, Kaydence and Kyla all received a silver medal. They all did amazing!
After closing ceremony, we caught the train out tonight to Baltimore and will fly home tomorrow. Thank you to everyone for your support in making Nationals an unforgettable experience for our students!

NCSD Summer School students and staff enjoyed an educational field trip to Sunrise today! A special thank you to owner John Voight for hosting us and to archaeologist George Ziemans for sharing his knowledge and expertise.
Students had the opportunity to tour the first YMCA in Wyoming, explore the historic town of Sunrise, learn about the area’s mining operations, and visit the archaeological dig currently being conducted by Eastern Wyoming College students.
This hands-on learning experience brought history, archaeology, and local heritage to life for our students. We are grateful for the opportunity to learn more about this unique part of Wyoming’s history!
