Tomorrow is School Librarian Appreciation Day, and we want to take a moment today to recognize our incredible librarians, Courtney McCoy, Brandy Newman, Julie Gatlin, and Katie Guest. Thank you for supporting our students and teachers and fostering a love of reading in our schools!
LCSD will be closed this Friday, April 3, 2026. We will reopen on Monday!
Our runners are having a good track season so far. Reed Jordan broke his own record in two consecutive meets!
Today, we recognize our paraprofessionals for the important role they play in our schools each day. From supporting instruction to working with students and teams, your work makes a difference across our district. We appreciate all that you do!

Kaidee Davis was the winner of Mr. Kyzar’s annual 3rd grade March Madness reading bracket! Students competed by answering questions from state practice tests as they prepare for upcoming assessments.
Kaidee stood out not only for her accuracy but also for clearly explaining her thinking, eliminating incorrect answer choices, and referring back to the text.
She earned a well-deserved reward with lunch from Chick-fil-A!
We’re proud of all of these 3rd graders for their hard work and focus as they get ready for testing

We love seeing our students and staff come together to support one another and celebrate what makes each person special.
Great opportunity for the next generation of Commodores at the Upper Elementary.
This Friday, Lafayette and Oxford will come together this week for the annual Pink Out game. During the week leading up to the game, both teams ask the community to donate in support of their fight against cancer. This year, we honor John Cromeans, a proud dad to two Commodores. Click on the QR or go to https://account.venmo.com/u/Lafayette-softball-1 to donate.
A word from the Cromeans family:
This game is a powerful reminder that we are not walking this journey alone. Every moment on that field and every cheer from the stands fuels John’s fight against cancer and gives us strength we can feel.
We are incredibly grateful for our village. The prayers, the messages, the hugs, the quiet check-ins… You have surrounded us in ways we will never be able to fully express. Without a doubt, your love and faith have lifted us, strengthened us, and played a role in the progress we’ve seen.
To our Lafayette community… we have felt every bit of your love. You’ve shown up, stood in the gap, and carried us when we needed it most. We will never stop being thankful, and we will never stop fighting. 💛❤️🥎 Go Dores! ⚓️
