On behalf of the administration of LCSD, we ask that all fans attending extra-curricular activities who support and cheer on our players and teams to please sit on the Home side if we are playing at home and sit on the Visitors side if we are playing away from home. This request is being asked to help create a safer and more enjoyable experience for our Cougar athletes and fans. Your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated as we work together to provide a positive and safe environment for our players, students and fans. Thank you!

Parents of students living in areas that are closed or unsafe to travel should inform their child's school. Please call your child's school office with questions.

LCSD Cougar Family, Due to the slow melting of ice on several of the back roads and streets in our district, the drop in temperature overnight, and the consideration of the safety of our faculty, staff and students, LCSD will remain closed on Thursday, January 18, 2024. Stay safe and warm!

Lafayette County School District will be closed on Tuesday, January 16, 2024, due to inclement weather and current road conditions. AMI days are no longer an option; therefore, this day will be made up at the end of the school year.

Dear Cougar Family, Based on the uncertain nature of the weather forecast and the expected timing of the inclement weather over the next few days, it is unlikely that a definitive statement will be made about school closure until late Monday evening . Please note that the District office will be monitoring the weather and checking the roads to make a definitive statement in a timely manner for staff, students, and parents to make any necessary arrangements. School closure announcements will be made through our Facebook page, mobile app, website, and local news channels. Have a great holiday weekend. Be safe and stay warm. Opal Anderson, Superintendent
