Important Update for the 2026–2027 School Year

The Lamar County School System has conducted multiple reviews of student arrival times this past school year, and based on that data, we will be making a small adjustment to morning intake times beginning in the 2026–2027 school year.

New Student Drop-Off / Doors Open Times:

Middle & High Schools: 6:50 a.m. (previously 6:40 a.m.)
Primary & Elementary Schools: 7:15 a.m. (previously 7:00 a.m.)

Bus Routes:
Morning bus pick-up times will be shifted by 10–15 minutes later than this school year.

Why the change?
Increases adult supervision during early arrival times
Allows students to get 10–15 more minutes of rest each night
Improves overall safety and structure at the start of the school day

This is a minor adjustment, but we wanted to share early so families have time over the summer to plan accordingly.

Thank you for your continued support of the Lamar County School System. We hope you have a great summer.

Today, our District Leadership Team had the opportunity to hear from Adam Pugh, Executive Director for Communications & Partnerships with Griffin-Spalding County School System. Mr. Pugh shared valuable insight during our District Leadership Retreat on the importance of communication, partnerships, and leadership in education.

We also heard from our Superintendent, Dr. Jessica Watson, and Assistant Superintendent, Mr. Jake Harris, as we continue preparing for an exciting and successful school year ahead.

Thank you to everyone who helped make today’s retreat meaningful and impactful!
