The Lamar County School's mass notification system will change to a new vendor called School Messenger on October 1st. In order to receive text messages, you will need to opt in to receive them per the instructions below. The new system will send out calls for any school closures due to weather or emergency calls. You will not receive a text message if you have not opted in to receive text messages on your phone.

We are excited to announce that for the 2024-2025 school year, our schools will continue participating in the Community Eligibility Program (CEP). This means all students will have access to FREE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH again for the upcoming school year! This will help eliminate the financial strain on families as they will no longer have to pay for school meals. We are very proud to be a part of the CEP Program and believe it has positively impacted our students.

Students will still be able to purchase "extras" and a la carte items. PayPams will still be available if you would like to keep a reserve amount in your child's lunch account for special purchases.

We are very proud to be a part of the CEP Program and believe it will positively impact our students.
