Lancaster Independent School District

Weather Update: Thursday, March 2, 2023 Due to the inclement weather predicted in our area this evening, all after-school activities and athletic events are canceled. Please note that all campuses will still dismiss at their regular dismissal time. Please stay alert and safe this evening. Thank you, Lancaster ISD

All Lancaster ISD campuses and offices will be closed on Monday, February 20, 2023. We will welcome students and staff back to school on Tuesday, February 21, 2023.

“Geopolitics. G-e-o-p-o-l-i-t-i-c-s. Geopolitics,” said Christopher Matildo, triumphantly securing his second consecutive win in the Lancaster ISD District Spelling Bee. Matildo, an eighth grader at Lancaster Middle School, took home the first-place championship trophy after 23 rounds of competition. “It feels great to be a two-time winner,” said Matildo. “I’m excited to get another opportunity to compete in the district spelling bee and the Dallas County Spelling Bee.” On Thursday, January 12, nine students from the elementary school campuses, sixth-grade center, and middle school took the stage. Each student was the winner of their campus spelling bee and advanced to the district-wide contest.

We are monitoring the weather and the National Weather Service predicts strong to severe thunderstorms in our area between 2:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. If inclement weather is in progress during our campus dismissal times, we will allow our student walkers to remain inside the campus building until the weather clears or the student is picked up by their parent/guardian. Also, if the weather impacts bus drop-offs, your child's campus will communicate that information to you directly. Schools will also have staff who will remain on campus until all students are picked-up or transported home. We understand that your child's safety is your top priority. If you wish to pick up your student early, please do so at 1:00 p.m. and follow the campus check-out procedures. Thank you, Lancaster ISD
