As summer comes to a close and students gear up to return to school, we are reminded of the fun times we had this season. From monthly, themed block parties in Linden to Summerfest and fireworks in Atlanta for Fourth of July, Cass County rallied together to make this Summer a special one to remember. However, now it is time to shift the focus and get ready for an eventful, new school year.

Many health professionals in the nation have sounded the alarm again at the uptick in COVID cases, particularly the Delta variant. Texas sits in the top 10 with the highest rise of COVID-19 cases they have seen since the first of the year.

UIL posted an updated Medical History - Pre-Participation Physical Examination (PPE) form on the UIL website for the 2020-2021 school year. The major change involves new state law requirements related to informing parents of the ability to receive cardiac screening. In response, Linden-Kildare CISD is offering a special one-day Physical Clinic for free. The clinic will be held at the Linden United Methodist Church on July 29. Exams will be from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. You will need to pay $20 only if you also want an EKG. You must pre-register by turning in the UIL form at the L-K administration office by noon on Monday, July 26.
