Wednesday, February 4, 2026 ALL Lancaster County schools, buildings, and facilities will be on a two-hour delay. 

Lancaster County School District has carefully assessed campus conditions, including main roads, auxiliary roads, parking areas, and walkways. While many surfaces have improved, some shaded areas still have ice—however temperatures are forecasted to remain above freezing tonight.

To allow additional time for our facilities teams to address any concerns and ensure campuses are as safe as possible for students, staff, and families, Lancaster County School District will operate on a two-hour delay.

We ask all families, staff, and students to continue exercising caution while traveling to school and allot enough time to travel safely.  Keep in mind that a two hour delay is two hours after the school day normally starts. Please avoid areas that may present hazards and be prepared for possible redirection around icy spots upon arrival on campus. We also encourage students to wear appropriate footwear and clothing suited for current weather conditions. Reminder, breakfast is not served during a two-hour delay schedule. The 4K field trip will be rescheduled for a later date.

Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and commitment to student safety as we navigate these conditions together.

As a safety precaution, ALL Lancaster County schools, buildings, and facilities will be on a two-hour delay on Wednesday, February 4, 2026.  

Lancaster County School District is aware that inclement weather is expected over the weekend. Due to anticipated hazardous conditions caused by snow and ice, ALL OUTDOOR after school athletics, activities, and school related programs will be canceled beginning at the end of the school day on Friday, January 30, 2026 which will allow our Facilities and Maintenance teams to prepare facilities.


ALL athletics, activities, and school related programs are canceled Saturday, January 31, 2026 and Sunday, February 1, 2026.


We are closely monitoring the weather event and our team has been communicating regularly with Duke Energy, South Carolina Department of Transportation, and SC Emergency Management Systems. We will provide an update on Sunday, February 1, 2026. REMINDER - Monday, February 2, 2026 is a HOLIDAY for students and a professional learning day for staff.

Tuesday, January 27, 2026 will be an eLearning day. ALL Lancaster County schools, buildings, and facilities will be closed. The Lancaster County School District has been in contact with Lancaster County Emergency Management and the SC Department of Transportation and inspected roads and multiple school campuses across the county and found widespread runoff and wet parking lots that are expected to refreeze overnight. Several campuses currently have ice and slush in areas with limited sunlight, especially around entrances, sidewalks, drop-off lines, bus loops, and other secondary areas that remain shaded. Standing water and runoff are expected to freeze as temperatures continue to drop tonight. Due to the hazardous conditions from ice we have determined closure is essential.  As a safety precaution, ALL Lancaster County schools, buildings, and facilities will be closed on Tuesday, January 27, 2026.  

Students and staff are expected to actively participate in the eLearning day.  We recognize that power outages and interrupted services may prevent students and staff from communicating and completing assignments during eLearning. Upon return to normal schedule, students will have the number of eLearning days plus one additional day to complete any elearning assignments. 

Students will receive eLearning information from their schools and teachers.  Please visit https://bit.ly/LCSDeLearning if you have any questions.

Updates will be provided via the district website, email, text, phone and social media. Stay safe and stay warm.
