Attention Parents and Guardians, We want to inform you that we are not dismissing school early today, and at this time buses will run on their regular schedule.

📢 Important Update: New Pickup System at Lamont 🚗 Starting Wednesday, January 8, we will implement a new after-school pickup system: • Walkers: Students will continue to leave from the front of the school. • Car Riders: Drop-off and pickup will now take place at the front of the school. • Parents, please form a line along Harrison Street (right side). • Students will be released 4 at a time to their vehicles, similar to the previous procedure at the back. For everyone’s safety, we kindly ask parents to stay in line and remain patient during this transition. ❗️If your child’s dismissal routine changes, please call the school by 2:45 PM to ensure we can communicate the update. Thank you for your cooperation as we work to make this a smooth and safe process for everyone! Questions?
