Cardinals Activities

Dear Lawson Families, As we approach the final stretch of the school year, we thank you for your continued support and partnership. Every day of school matters, and strong attendance—right up to the very last day—helps ensure your child finishes the year on a high note. The next six weeks of the 2024-2025 school year are packed with valuable learning, final projects, celebrations, and important preparation for next year. When students are present and engaged, they remain connected with their teachers, classmates, and the learning that supports their long-term success. Let’s work together to make these final weeks count! Please continue to encourage your child to attend school every day, arrive on time, and stay focused until the end of the school year. Your support makes a big difference. Thank you for helping us finish the year strong! Dr. Stephenson #AttendanceMatters #SuccessStartsWithShowingUp

Inclement Weather / School Cancelation - UPDATE 1-5-25 Dear Cardinals, As anticipated, the winter storm has created significant challenges across our region. To ensure everyone’s safety and a smooth start to the second semester of the 2024–2025 school year, we have adjusted our schedule as follows: Updated Schedule • Monday, January 6, 2025: All campuses and facilities will remain closed. • Tuesday, January 7, 2025: Staff in-service day (rescheduled from January 6). • Wednesday, January 8, 2025: Students return to school (rescheduled from January 7). These adjustments prioritize the well-being of our students and staff while allowing adequate time to prepare for a successful start to the semester. We are optimistic that weather and road conditions will improve by midweek, but we will monitor the situation closely. Decisions regarding team practices on Monday and Tuesday will be made as more information becomes available. Our goal is to ensure the safety of all students and staff while keeping families informed to help with planning. Please stay tuned to district communications for further updates. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through this together. Dr. Stephenson
