Dear LCS Families,

Following multiple weather briefings with the Leon County Emergency Management team regarding Hurricane Isaias, Leon County Schools will follow an early release schedule on Friday, October 9. This decision prioritizes the safety of our students, families and staff.

Students will be dismissed at the following times:

  • High School: 11:20 a.m.
  • Elementary School: 12:20 p.m.
  • Middle School: 1:20 p.m.

All afterschool activities are cancelled, including afterschool care programs such as 21st Century and Extended Day. Please make arrangements for your child’s transportation and care based on these earlier dismissal times.

District offices and school campuses will close at 3:00 p.m. tomorrow. 

We will continue monitoring conditions with our emergency management partners and notify families of any additional changes. For the latest hurricane forecasts and advisories, visit the National Weather Service’s National Hurricane Center.

Thank you for your flexibility and understanding as we work to keep our school community safe.
