Attention LCSD Students and Families: The University of Mississippi School of Education and Teachers of Tomorrow (TOT) are hosting their annual Fall Festival for PK-6 students on October 18th from 5-8 pm at Guyton Hall on the University of Mississippi Oxford campus. This will be a great opportunity for our students and their families to come together and enjoy some fun fall-themed activities.
Our dedicated school counselors recently attended the Magnolia State School Counselor Association conference right before fall break!
They returned with fresh insights, strategies, and tools to better support our students, families, and schools. We’re committed to fostering a positive environment for everyone, and this conference has equipped our counselors with even more knowledge to help guide our students on their paths to success.
Let’s give a huge shoutout to our amazing counselors for their continuous dedication and passion!
The Oxford-Lafayette Community Health Fair is at the Oxford Activity Center on Saturday, October 19th, 10 am - 2 pm. For more information, please visit the link below.

TWO DAYS A MONTH
That's all it takes to be chronically absent.
Did you know children can fall behind academically if they miss 10% of school days? Being in school supports students' social, emotional, and physical well-being, and provides students with opportunities to learn, achieve, and reach for their dreams.
Possible Inclement Weather Announcement
Tailgate & Celebrate: Last Friday current 7th, 8th, & 9th graders who scored a 4 or 5 or qualified for growth on their 2024 MAAP tests were treated to a Taylor Grocery catered lunch. Around 550 students came together at the pavilion to celebrate their achievements, enjoying delicious food and a sunny, festive atmosphere. #anchoredtoexcellence
INSPIRING FUTURE LEADERS

MAIN CAMPUS AFTERNOON TRAFFIC UPDATE
We want to thank everyone for their patience and generosity in working with our staff daily to ensure the Commodore experience is great.
We have an update on minor changes to the afternoon traffic on the main campus. We implement these changes for the safety of our students and drivers as we flow traffic during bus waves.
1. Car rider pick locations are only at the front of each building (LUES, LMS, and LHS).
2. South Commodore Dr, the road behind the LMS Gym, will now be closed to traffic.
3. LHS drivers exiting the LMS back parking lot will exit directly from Commodore Dr onto HWY 334 (green arrows).
4. The point beyond the LMS back parking lot will be one-way traffic for the bus lane and the lower athletics parking lot heading out to LUES. LHS drivers parked in the athletics parking lot will have to exit toward LUES and loop if exiting during dismissal.
We've set sail! Thank you to our families, community, OPD, and LCSD for getting us rolling this morning.
As we get used to traffic patterns, the flow will move even better. Thank you for your patience and assistance as we get our students to their buildings safely.
LCSD Bus Routes for the 2024-2025 school year are available on the website and through the link below.
