banner_Meet KG (34)

We have been informed that Curry Street has been shut down for a police investigation regarding a vehicle accident. The closure is expected to last several hours, which will result in bus delays for Lakeland High School, Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, and Lakeland Copper Beech Middle School. 


Parents/Guardians who are planning to pick up their child(ren) from Thomas Jefferson should be advised that Gomer Street is not accessible from Route 6/Curry Street and should use an alternate route.

 

Drivers will use alternate routes to the greatest degree possible, but Lakeland HS, Thomas Jefferson ES, and Copper Beech MS families should expect a delayed drop-off time. 

 

We will communicate any further updates with the community should they arise. Thank you for your understanding.

Congratulations  LCSD Tenure Recipients!

Daniela Ferrera

We are very proud to share that Daniella Ferreira is a recipient of the New York State Association of School Nurses Award for Excellence in Nursing. This honor recognizes the efforts of our nursing supervisor throughout this school year and her career. In her nomination form, it was noted by her colleagues that she should be praised for her administrative and clinical skills, and commitment to the profession.

Her leadership during this school year has ensured a consistent pandemic response across the district and she has been a reliable, informed, and caring resource for our staff and students. Congratulations Daniella on this well-deserved honor.

Upcoming Bus Delays due to Croton Avenue Construction
April 21, 2022

We have been notified by the Town of Cortland Water Department that there will be major construction taking place on Croton Avenue beginning today, April 21, and will continue through the summer. The construction is most likely to cause significant disruption, reducing the roadway to one lane with alternating traffic flow.


Drivers will use alternate routes to the greatest degree possible, but this is a major traverse, and some delays will be unavoidable. The school bus routes most affected by the traffic will be Walter Panas, Lincoln-Titus, and Van Cortlandtville, with residual delays for Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Copper Beech. 


Please be assured that drivers will do their very best to maintain timely schedules, but it is necessary for families to plan for delayed pick-up and/or drop-off times until the construction concludes. We understand the inconvenience this may cause for many families and thank you for your patience during this time.
