Students are not allowed to get off at other campuses without administrator approval.

As we begin the 2023-2024 school year, all LOISD schools will continue to keep campuses closed during lunch times. We love that we live in a community with parents and family members who are so involved with their students. However, safety is always our number one focus, and space is quickly becoming a concern as well with the growth that our district is experiencing. For this reason, we ask for your help in keeping our kids safe, and keeping the number of visitors in and out of our doors to a minimum. We will continue to have "picnic on the playground" for each grade level this year!

• Lunches for the 2023-2024 school year will be $3.25.

• Please put lunch money in an envelope or baggie with student and teacher name.
