We are looking forward to having our families join us for school lunch. We have taken time to get the students acclimated to their school environment and learn the lunch room procedures. Starting this Monday, August 29, families are allowed to come to visit their child for lunch. You will need your driver's license to sign in. Please refer to the lunch times listed below to help when planning your lunch visit. Tables are set aside for you to sit at with your child. Welcome and enjoy.

Our motto is Be Kind, Work Hard and Be Brave. Our Got Caught program acknowledges students exemplifying these great qualities. As staff members observe students being kind to others, working hard in their classroom / studies or being brave, their Got Caught card is turned in for a chance to have their name drawn every week. Principal Graham announces the students that were drawn each Friday on the news show, they get their picture taken for the newsletter and they get a prize. We are so proud of all of our students!

Early Dismissal of a student will need to be before 2:00 pm and in person. We can not take any dismissal requests over the phone. A driver's license will be needed as well as be on the approved contact list in order to dismiss a student.

Dear Lexington District One Parents/Guardians:

Lexington District One is committed to supporting our students academically, physically and emotionally.

Additionally, in 2018, Governor Henry McMaster signed into law Act 213, which directed school districts to implement Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS). MTSS addresses the needs of the whole child – academically, behaviorally, socially, and emotionally – and requires districts to conduct certain screenings with parental consent.

To support this effort, the district will offer an optional behavioral health assessment, with active parental consent, through our partner Terrace Metrics, to students in grades 3–12.

We realize you may have questions about this assessment, including the types of questions your student may be asked, how the information is used and the support we provide students if needed.

To help answer your questions, Lexington District One will host two question and answer sessions for parents, with the CEO of Terrace Metrics Dr. Rich Gilman. The first session will be held Sept. 1 at the Central Services auditorium, located at 100 Tarrar Springs Road in Lexington, at 9:30 a.m. The second session will be held at the North Lake Community Learning Center auditorium (formally Lexington Middle School) at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 1.

For additional information on this behavioral health assessment, contact your student's school counselor, Ms. Daughtrey (gr. 1, 3, 5) at (803) 821-0174 or Ms. Warren (gr. K, 2, 4) at (803) 821-0116.

As with years prior, our school will be partnering with local churches, Zion Lutheran Church and St. David’s Lutheran Church, to offer a confidential program entitled “Snack Pack” for students at the Oak Grove Elementary School. This program is designed to provide healthy food items over the weekend for children whose families are experiencing financial hardships.

Snack Pack forms were placed in your child's backpack for you to sign and return to school. If you have any questions, please contact Nancy Daughtrey at 803-821-0174 or Holly Warren at 803-821-0016.

Food Service and Nutrition is working diligently with the new vendor to have Titan’s online payment portal available soon. For now, please continue to deposit money to your student's meal account using k12paymentcenter.com. Your meal account balance will transfer to the new system.

We appreciate your patience and apologize for the inconvenience. Please contact 803-821-1231 if you have any questions.

Checks can also be written to Oak Grove Elementary School and can be deposited into their lunch account.

The health room is in need of donations of certain clothing items and would appreciate anything that can be given that perhaps your child may not wear anymore or outgrown. Thank you for your generosity.

Dear Lexington District One Families:

Lexington District One students and staff continue to learn, work and live with COVID-19 with minimal disruptions. Our schools are operating normally, and DHEC no longer requires close contacts to quarantine.

Please remember that students who are sick with COVID-19 or test positive must continue to isolate, meaning they must stay at home from school.

We recently updated the way to report your student’s COVID-19 positive test results for the 2022–23 school year.

All student reports of a positive COVID-19 test result will be completed through the COVID-19 report form found in PowerSchool Parent Portal. The previous Google form link is no longer accepting responses.

After logging on to Parent Portal, select ‘Forms’ in the navigation bar, then fill out and submit the “COVID-19 Reporting Form.” We will then email you further information on when your student may return to school and school-sponsored events.

We look forward to a safe and healthy school year.

Amy Wood, BSN, RN
Nursing and Health Services Director
