Lawrence County Schools will dismiss students early on January 23, 2026, in response to forecasted winter weather conditions. This decision follows careful consultation with local emergency management authorities and weather officials to prioritize the safety of students and staff.
Students will be released from school at 1:15 PM, with teachers dismissed shortly after at 1:45 PM. Employees who work 11 and 12 months will conclude their workday at 2:30 PM, while Central Office staff will finish at 4:00 PM. This staggered dismissal schedule is designed to ensure a smooth and safe exit for all personnel involved.
In addition to the early dismissal, all afternoon activities have been canceled. This action further ensures the safety of both students and staff as winter weather approaches the area. The cancellation reflects the school district’s commitment to maintaining a secure environment during potentially hazardous conditions.
Officials are urging residents to stay off the roads if possible and to drive cautiously. This advisory is essential, as winter weather can create dangerous driving conditions. Parents and guardians are encouraged to make childcare arrangements for their children following the early dismissal. This proactive approach will help ensure that students are cared for in a safe environment after they leave school.
The school district is taking these precautions seriously to prioritize the safety of its students and staff amid the anticipated weather conditions. By implementing these measures, Lawrence County Schools aims to protect the well-being of everyone involved during this winter weather event.
