Safety & Transportation

District Bus Routes for Monday Please read the information in its entirety and then click on for routes. Please remember these are general descriptions and will vary upon unforeseen external factors. Parents you will receive an email this evening with your child’s bus numbers. If your child is a car rider, you will see a “C” for both morning and afternoon transportation. You can also view your child’s bus numbers by logging into your parent portal account and selecting student reports. The link below will give you estimated bus pick up times for each bus route. Select your child's school to view the current bus routes. Please note: Bus routes may vary 15 minutes before or after the scheduled route time. Please have your child out at the bus stop early and expect delays coming home from school for the first few weeks while we work out any issues. These times are estimated, and routes are subject to change based on service needs of our students. These are general route descriptions of streets covered (every minor road may not be listed). https://lancastercsdsc.sites.thrillshare.com/o/lancaster-csd/page/bus-routes Bus numbers will be posted in PowerSchool by the end of the day August 10, 2024 if not sooner. Thanks for your patience! If you have questions after bus information is released, please contact the LCSD Safety & Transportation Office at 803-285-6009.

Lancaster County School District Board of Trustees welcomes all students and staff back for the 2024-2025 school year! @SCSBA

August 9, 2024 - Due to weather concerns and in order to provide time for schools to be ready for Monday, August 12, 2024, ALL student orientation for 6th and 9th graders and Indian Land 5th and 7th graders has been canceled. Open houses and other orientations have been canceled, and you will receive information from your child's school regarding rescheduling. Lancaster County School District will be OPEN for normal operating hours for staff.

LCSD CLOSED August 8, 2024 Lancaster County School District has been in contact with Emergency Management. Lancaster County is currently under a flood watch. Due to potential flooding and hazardous conditions caused by Tropical Storm Debby, as a safety precaution, ALL Lancaster County schools, buildings, and facilities will be closed on Thursday August 8, 2024. ALL events and activities are cancelled. ALL open houses and orientations scheduled for August 8, 2024 are canceled and will be rescheduled.

Active shooter training will be held on the campus of Buford High School located at 4290 Tabernacle Road, Lancaster, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, July 30, and Thursday, Aug. 1. Training will be led by the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Department. Lancaster County School District personnel and multiple first responder agencies and departments will participate. The training will be very realistic with a lot of activity and noise including simulated gunfire in and around the school. However, no live ammunition will be present on site. A helicopter might be in the air during a portion of the exercise. The public is advised that this is a training exercise and not an actual public safety emergency. The campus of the school will be inaccessible to the public on the training days. Agency personnel, vehicles and equipment will stage on and near the campus during the training, including in the parking lot of Buford Middle School adjacent to the football stadium. Signs alerting the public to the training exercise will be posted on Rocky River Road near the school, and Tabernacle Road will be closed from Rocky River to Smokey Starnes roads during the training. Motorists should use caution when driving through the area. The event is closed to the media.

Beginning this summer, LCSD will phase out our current email/call communication system, Blackboard Connect. It will be replaced with Apptegy Alerts. Be on the lookout for communication from this new system and do not "delete" or "unsubscribe." Remember, this communication is from the school and the district, and lots of important information is shared through this email/call system. We want to ensure you get updates this summer regarding information for the start of the 2024-2025 school year! Text messages will be received from 98900.
