LCS Releases 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 School Calendars
During the January meeting, the LCS School Board approved the calendars for the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years. By approving the next two school calendars, employees and families have more advanced notice on breaks and other important school events. From this point forward, the School Board will approve a calendar each year, but it will be two years in advance.

As another semester of learning begins, we ask our families and community to join us in ensuring our students attend and remain at #schooleveryday.
Missing 2 days of instructional time each month means that students miss out on 10% of the learning opportunities presented to them. Our faculties and staff are ready to welcome our students back on Monday, January 9th!
Happy New Year! As a reminder, students are on Winter Break for the remainder of this week. Classes resume on Monday, January 9th. We look forward to another great semester!
