Investing in Growth, Leadership, and Connection!

Today, we’re proud to recognize and celebrate our team members who are attending the 6th District PEP (Professional Enrichment Program) event at Griffin Region College & Career Academy. This exciting day will be filled with engaging sessions, networking opportunities, professional development, and collaboration with school nutrition professionals from across the district.

Opportunities like PEP help strengthen our knowledge, inspire new ideas, and build connections that ultimately benefit the students and communities we serve every day. We are grateful for Ms Liz (Central Office), Ms. Carol (LCMS), Ms. Rocky and Ms. Jane (LCHS), who are committed to continuous learning, leadership development, and bringing fresh perspectives back to our program.

Thank you to our dedicated staff for representing our district with professionalism, enthusiasm, and a passion for school nutrition excellence. Your commitment to growing, learning, and leading makes a difference!

Join us in congratulating and celebrating everyone who participated in this valuable professional development experience!

Important Update for the 2026–2027 School Year

The Lamar County School System has conducted multiple reviews of student arrival times this past school year, and based on that data, we will be making a small adjustment to morning intake times beginning in the 2026–2027 school year.

New Student Drop-Off / Doors Open Times:

Middle & High Schools: 6:50 a.m. (previously 6:40 a.m.)
Primary & Elementary Schools: 7:15 a.m. (previously 7:00 a.m.)

Bus Routes:
Morning bus pick-up times will be shifted by 10–15 minutes later than this school year.

Why the change?
Increases adult supervision during early arrival times
Allows students to get 10–15 more minutes of rest each night
Improves overall safety and structure at the start of the school day

This is a minor adjustment, but we wanted to share early so families have time over the summer to plan accordingly.

Thank you for your continued support of the Lamar County School System. We hope you have a great summer.
