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
