Together, We Are Lex
Click here to watch Together, We Are Lex
This year, our theme is simple: Together, We Are Lex.
Those words are more than just a slogan. They are a reminder of who we are as a school district and as a community.
Lexington has always been a place where people care deeply about their schools. We have outstanding students, dedicated staff, supportive families, and a community that takes great pride in Lexington. And while we know there will be challenges ahead, I believe our greatest strength is—and always has been—the people who make up this district.
As we move forward, I hope we continue to listen to one another, treat each other with kindness and respect, and remember that even when we may not always agree, we share something very important: we all want what is best for our students.
As superintendent, I am incredibly proud to have the opportunity to serve this district and community. Lexington has been an important part of my life for many years, and I know firsthand what a special place it is.
As we open the doors to another school year, my hope is that we continue to come together—not just as a school district, but as a community.
Because every student matters. Every staff member matters. Every family matters. And each of us has a role in what comes next.
Together, we support one another.
Together, we serve our students.
Together, we move Lexington forward.
Together, We Are Lex
Sincerely,
Kevin Young, Superintendent

Raptor Visitor Management System
Lexington Families:
Lexington Local Schools is excited to announce that we will be utilizing the Raptor Visitor Management System in all buildings. This new system will add another layer of safety and security for our staff and students.
With the implementation of this new system, the following procedures are what you can expect as we move forward with this new security measure:
• All visitors to our schools (parent, volunteer, substitute, contractor) that wish to walk through the building will need to have a valid ID card that will be scanned with the Raptor system (state issued ID, drivers license, military ID).
• Your ID will be scanned into the Raptor system each time you visit. Raptor will run all visitor information through the current federal and state sex offender registries along with any custom created databases of banned visitors or domestic/custodial issues.
• Once cleared, an individual will be printed a custom visitor sticker with their photo, or given a visitor’s badge that they wear in the building.
• If an individual is flagged as an “alert,” the School Resource Officer and Administration will be sent a text alert and will meet with the individual to resolve the situation.
• Student drivers will not need a parent to sign out, but will require a phone call to, or from, the office.
Adopting this new system will ensure that every guest in any of our buildings, regardless of purpose, will have been screened and will have a visible ID indicating they have been cleared to be in the building.
Please make sure you bring your valid ID card with you anytime you wish to visit any of our buildings.
Your cooperation with this new procedure is greatly appreciated and is one small step that everyone can take to keep our staff and students as safe as possible.
Thank you for your cooperation and support. Go Lex!

FAQs - Lexington Schools Facilities and Finances
Automated Parent Notification System
Dear Parents,
We utilize BrightArrow in our district, an automated parent notification system. The system will notify parents if their child is absent from school using the contact information you’ve provided in FinalForms.
When your child is absent the system will make an automated call to the primary number listed in FinalForms. It will also send a text message and email to the first two contacts listed in FinalForms.
Below is the message you will receive via phone and email:
This is an attendance notification from Lexington Local Schools. Your student, [[firstname]] was marked absent this morning, [[today’s date]]. Please send a note with your child upon return to excuse this absence. Press any key to repeat this message. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
An additional note is included with text messages:
Lexington Local Schools would like to continue sending you text messages. To receive these messages, please reply YES.
(We suggest you reply YES to continue receiving alerts).
You are still strongly encouraged to call the school to report your child’s absence. Additionally, written notification is still required to excuse any absence upon return. Finally, if you have provided advance notice of your child’s absence or if they are tardy, you may not receive a call.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this automated notification system, please contact your building principal. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Kevin Young, Superintendent
FinalForms (Online Forms/Registration)
Lexington Schools is transitioning to FinalForms for online forms (emergency,medical,etc.) instead of the paper packet that is typically sent home at the start of the school year.
To register a new student, please click on the following link: Lexington FinalForms
If your student is already attending Lexington and you have not received an email confirmation from FinalForms, please call your student's building so the secretaries can update your email address in the FinalForms system. Once your email address has been entered, you will receive a confirmation email from FinalForms to create an account.

Reminder of the Laws on Stopping for School Buses
Best advice is if you approach, from either direction, a school bus stopped on or along the road, for any reason, with or without its lights flashing STOP.
We must all do our part of keep our precious children safe on their way to and from school each day. No one should be in such a hurry to jeopardize children's safety.
