Are you moving? If your student will not be returning to LexRich5 for the 2024 - 2025 school year, please contact us to complete the withdrawal process. Students leaving the district will need to return the district issued Chromebook, case, and charger, as well as any library books. Any outstanding school fees can be paid online(debit or credit cards) or in person (cash or check).

ATTENDANCE UPDATES
Beginning with the 2024-2025 School Year, we will no longer accept calls for picking up a student for early dismissal.
Parent/Guardian must come into the school and sign the student out.
Sorry for this inconvenience, but this change is necessary.
You can always send a note with your student and we will provide the student with a pass for the dismissal time.
Thank you for your understanding,
Kelly Lilie
Attendance Clerk
Textbook Returns
If you have any outstanding textbooks please drop them of at the school.
There is a drop box located near the entrance of the front office for your convenience.
You can still turn in library books over the summer! All you have to do is bring them to the front office or drop them in the green book drop at the front door. Thanks!
Summer time is reading time! When kids continue learning during the summer, they are healthier, safer, and more prepared for the school year ahead. Summer reading programs help children and teens retain and enhance their reading skills, as well as discourage the dreaded “summer slide,” or loss of skills. As we get closer to summer break, don’t miss out on the wonderful summer reading programs at our public libraries!
Here are the links to check out the Lexington County Library and Richland Library summer programs.
I also have some other resources and book lists posted on the DFMS library website linked here. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at lwilkins@lexrich5.org.
