It's National School Counseling Week! School Counselors are focused on seeing students THRIVE - academically, emotionally, socially, and futuristically. School counseling professionals help students understand and embrace their strengths and passions. They assist students with career and education exploration, and provide resources to help them prepare for their futures. Let's give a shout-out to our outstanding School Counselor -- Angela Young

All Lexington Four schools will operate on a 2-hour delay for Friday, January 24, 2025. District officials have been monitoring road conditions across the district, and there continue to be isolated, but significant, issues on secondary roads. The National Weather Service is also forecasting temperatures well below freezing again tomorrow morning. As a result, schools will operate on a 2-hour delay to give buses, parents, staff, and students the opportunity to begin their drives during daylight hours. Students and staff should report to their schools two hours later than usual, and the remainder of the day will proceed on normal schedule.
The Lexington School District 4 Athletic Department is now accepting nominations for the Hall of Fame class of 2025. To be considered for this year’s class, nominations must be returned to by March 12th. If you have any questions, please email Coach Deaver at pdeaver@lexington4.net.

The National Weather Service reports that nearly two inches of snow have fallen across the district overnight. Temperatures will stay below freezing today, with lows expected in the mid-teens tomorrow morning. The SC Department of Transportation is actively working to clear primary roads, but reports that some secondary roads will remain untreated today. Any remaining water or snow will freeze hard overnight, creating hazardous conditions that are unlikely to improve until at least midday.
As of today, the district has utilized all five e-Learning days authorized by state law. Therefore, tomorrow’s closure will require an in-person make-up day, scheduled for Monday, February 17, 2025.
