Dear LCSD Community, Due to the anticipated changeover to freezing rain and the potential for icy road conditions later today, the Lakeland Central School District will be closed today.

With a Winter Weather Advisory in Putnam County and possible ice aligning with dismissal hours, this decision was made out of an abundance of caution.

❄️ Today is our last traditional snow day.
📅 March 20 (Superintendent’s Conference Day) will now be a regular school day for students.
💻 Any additional closures this year will shift to remote learning.

Thank you for your partnership in keeping our community safe.
