Louisa West Elementary School

Lawrence County Family, Due to recent weather cancellations (including just this week), we must adjust our school calendar to meet state requirements. The past two years, the weather has worked against us. Because we had to miss another day this week, and the Kentucky General Assembly has not moved to grant districts calendar relief yet, we will now use the following. Key Calendar Adjustments: Monday, March 30 & Tuesday, March 31: Now in session for students. Tuesday, May 19 (Election Day): No school for students. While new laws allow school during elections even when a building is a polling place, we are keeping buildings closed to students this year on Election Day to ensure their safety. Monday, May 25 (Memorial Day): Schools will remain closed. Friday, May 29: Graduation. Thursday, June 4: Final day of school for students. It is very important that students attend those final days in June to officially complete the year. Our principals and staff are already working to schedule finals, field trips, and awards ceremonies during that last week to keep the end of the year meaningful and engaging. I fully realize there isn't a perfect solution, but sometimes in life there simply isn't one. This plan allows us to protect the majority of Spring Break, have our buildings closed for students on Election Day, and observe Memorial Day. Thank you for your continued support and flexibility as we work together to finish the year strong. Here is to better weather ahead! Katie Webb, Lawrence County Superintendent

Last week, LC Schools had an amazing week celebrating Read Across America! Today, we want to invite our community to continue celebrating reading by encouraging Lawrence County families with children ages 0-5 to sign up for the Dolly Parton Imagination Library! This is a completely FREE program that mails your child an age-appropriate, high-quality book each month! Early reading has been shown to build vocabulary, build reading skills for kindergarten preparation, and encourage family bonding. Go sign up today by scanning the QR code or clicking on this link:

Update on the 2025-2026 School Calendar We want to share an important calendar update regarding the remainder of our school year. Due to recent missed days, our current last day of school for students is now Friday, June 5. We are closely watching two school calendar requirement bills in the General Assembly, HB 635 and HB 631, which could offer some relief; however, neither has passed yet. If we miss any more school days and the state does not grant relief, we will use the first two days of Spring Break, Monday, March 30th and Tuesday, March 31st, as makeup days for students. If these new laws are passed, we will work with the state to make adjustments to our calendar to end the year a few days earlier. As a reminder, there will be no school for students on May 19 (Election Day and professional development day for staff) or May 25 (Memorial Day). We will keep our Lawrence County families and staff updated as soon as we have more information.
