We are excited to have our staff return to work on Monday, October 7th, to prepare to welcome our students back on Wednesday, October 9th. Due to storm damage, most schools and facilities will not have internet access. With Monday and Tuesday used as planning days, we are confident in our ability to continue providing quality education for our students with or without the Internet. Though most of our facilities sustained minor damage, our staff has been hard at work to prepare for safe student returns. Please be patient with us as we reestablish phone access before students return. Email will be the most efficient contact method at this time. As we assess bus routes on Monday, we will contact families where bus routes need to be adjusted.
We look forward to seeing our One Lowndes family back together next week! #OneLowndes #BetterTogether See less
