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!

LEAD Class Highlights at LMS!
A big thank you to Lafayette Career Coach, Mr. Ronnie Williams, for visiting our LEAD 1 students! Your insights on careers and future opportunities truly inspired our students and opened their minds to what lies ahead.
Meanwhile, our LEAD 2 classes are making a difference in our community! They’ve revitalized the Recycling Club at LMS and recently mended the torn curtains in the LMS auditorium for our Drama Department.
Keep up the great work, LEAD!






Happy IT Professionals Day! We celebrate the brilliant minds behind the technology that keeps us connected and productive. We thank you for your hard work!


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.

Students in Ms. Smith's LMS LEAD2 classes have been busy learning dining etiquette. In this lesson, they focused on setting a table, ironing a tablecloth, folding napkins, and using table manners. Students also learned how to properly handle and cook the chicken as well as practicing the proper way to slice with utensils..







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.
