Let's celebrate with our LCHS students as they enjoy Homecoming festivities. Let's shoot for the BEST attendance so we can have daily dance parties! Don't forget, Wednesday is High Attendance Day in Kentucky.
Due to an influx in distractions to our learning environment, this is a reminder that we do not permit toys being brought to school. Should a student bring a toy, the teacher may take the toy and give it back at the end of the day to take home. Thank you for your understanding.

Urgent Attention! TRAFFIC ALERT: Starting Monday, August 31st
Late this week, LC Schools received notification about the upcoming restoration project for the Louisa/Fort Gay bridge deck.
- This project is projected to last two months.
- The construction will affect traffic in the downtown area.
- Our primary concern is that morning drop-off and dismissal at Louisa East Elementary School will be significantly disrupted.
Traffic Guidelines to Follow:
- Important! Do NOT block any intersections at any time!
- Please enter at the red light on Main Cross Street or Madison Street.
- The exit route should remain normal, but please **do not line up** along Franklin Street as this will obstruct buses traveling between the West and East Elementary Schools.
The Louisa Police Department has provided a map indicating acceptable streets in yellow and
non-acceptable streets in orange where lining up is not permitted.
Please allow extra time for traffic delays and exercise patience during this construction process! #LCisHome
