Lafayette County School District Parents, Guardians, and Community Members:

Thank you for your patience and understanding during the closure of school due to Covid-19. Your continued support is greatly appreciated and will play an important role in the success of our students and district for the upcoming school year. 

Lafayette County School District is committed to provide a safe learning environment that is conducive to learning during the 2020-2021 school year. The administration and staff are working diligently to create a school re-entry plan that will protect our students, staff, and community and provide a quality education for all students. Lafayette County School District will follow and implement guidance and directives from the Governor, Arkansas Department of Health, and Arkansas Department of Education. We will follow the Arkansas Ready for Learning Guidance Document that has been provided to all school districts by the Department of Education to assist schools in planning for school reopening in August. We ask for everyone’s cooperation and support as we follow state guidance and directives to prepare for the 2020-2021 school year.

Phone surveys have been conducted with parents as to their intent of sending their children back to school at this time. Based on the results of the surveys, Lafayette County School District will offer parents two options for educating their children.
