Lee County Schools -

Due to the possibility of light snow accumulation and icy roads, Lee County Schools will transition to a remote learning day for all students and staff members on Wednesday, January, 22, 2025. Students have been given assignments to complete and turn in to receive credit for attendance tomorrow. Students have five days to complete assignments to receive attendance credit for the day. All campuses are closed and no staff should report to their site. Staff should consult with their immediate supervisor regarding work to be completed from home. We will continue to monitor both local and national weather reports. In the event of further changes, we will post delay and cancellation notifications on our district website, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages as well as alert local media outlets. Stay safe & warm,

Due to the threat of winter weather this afternoon & evening, all after school activities for Lee County Schools are cancelled for Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2025. We are monitoring the weather forecast & will have additional information about tomorrow's schedule later this afternoon.

The rivalry is real, but it’s all about showing the heart, determination, & hard work that make our athletes shine. ✨When Southern Lee & Lee County meet on the court, it’s more than just a game—it’s a celebration of grit, sportsmanship, & the power of friendly competition! 🙌

Today, we pause to celebrate the dream that changed a nation. We honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a champion of justice, equality, and peace. His courage and vision continue to inspire us to build a future where all students are valued and empowered. Let’s continue working together to create a brighter tomorrow for every child. #MLKDay #DreamBig

PUTTING DOWN ROOTS. Fourth grade students at Broadway Elementary helped plant a pair of maple trees on campus today during a visit from John Thomasson. Mr. Thomasson spoke with students about the vast array of products and foods that come from trees and the vital role that trees play in our ecosystem. He showed students the proper planting depth for a new tree and discussed appropriate fertilizer and root care. Thanks to a partnership with Pilgram's, Mr. Thomasson sent each student home with a loblolly pine sapling to plant and apply what they learned. #LCSthrive
