Important Update: LRSD is assessing building/road conditions today and will determine status of opening the District/schools tomorrow no later than 5 PM today. We will notify you via call, text, social media, website, App & news media partners. Thanks & stay safe.
Good morning, LRSD families,
Out of an abundance of caution and after consultation with surrounding districts, LRSD’s Safety and Security team, First Student Transportation, and the National Weather Service, LRSD will close schools and offices on Thursday and Friday, January 9-10, 2025, due to anticipated inclement weather. Forecasters predict significant freezing/snow conditions moving into our area starting tomorrow. All athletic events are also canceled. In making weather-related decisions, LRSD prioritizes the safety of students and staff.
LRSD staff, please monitor your emails for additional instructions from our Human Resources Department.
As a reminder, LRSD will keep staff and families updated through our App, social media platforms, website, LRSD TV, and our traditional media partners. Stakeholders are encouraged to download the free LRSD App so they never miss a message from the district.
Thank you, and stay safe!

Hello Gibbs Families-
This is Ms Gibson with a reminder that next week is our Fall Book Fair week(9/9/24-9/13/24). We are looking for volunteers for the book fair this time...if you can help you can sign up here- http://evite.me/Hgdug2BBas or email Ms Gibson at lori.gibson@lrsd.org. We can use help for a few mins before or after school but we really could use lots of volunteers for Friday, September 13th during Grandparents Lunch times :)
Also if you would like to set up your student's ewallet before they come to the book fair with their class you can do that on this page https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/gibbsmagnet.
Thank you for supporting the library and readers at Gibbs!
Ms Gibson
