WEST COLUMBIA, SC -- Lexington Two schools and offices will dismiss early on Friday, January 10, due to forecasts of a potential wintry mix beginning that afternoon.
Friday’s early dismissal times are 11:30 a.m. for elementary schools, 12:30 p.m. for middle and high schools.
All after-school activities/programs on Friday are canceled, including athletic events and practices, extracurricular activities, after-school programs, Boys and Girls Clubs, and adult education classes. Coaches and schools will reach out directly to families and athletes regarding the status of any previously scheduled Saturday, January 11 events. (Of note, the archery tournament previously scheduled for this weekend at Busbee Creative Arts Academy has been rescheduled for March 21-22. Also, the Junior Bowl at Airport High School has been rescheduled for January 17-19).
The decision for a half-day schedule was made in an abundance of caution, with the safety of our students and employees top of mind, and in consultation with local, school and county officials. The district will continue to monitor weather conditions and will communicate through our district and school channels should any further updates be necessary.
