South Elementary School

Telephone service is currently intermittent on several Lubbock-Cooper ISD campuses. The LCISD Technology Department is working to diagnose and resolve the issue as quickly as possible. If you need to reach a campus in the meantime, you may need to try calling a few times before you are connected to the campus office. You may also email your message to your intended recipient or the campus office. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

All LCISD elementary schools are implementing the Community Eligibility Provision under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs for the 2024-25 school year. This means ALL of our elementary students will be provided FREE healthy breakfasts and lunches each day! More information is available at https://www.lcisd.net/page/food-services.

LCISD has been notified that TxDOT plans to close off Loop 493 to thru traffic at some point this week. We do not know confirmed dates, but wanted to share this information with you. Please prepare for the possibility of this closure as you travel to/from Woodrow-area campuses.

TxDOT has reopened Loop 493, as they are unable to complete their planned culvert replacement project at this time. We do not yet know the new start date for this project, but will communicate this date with stakeholders if it falls before the end of the 2023-24 school year.

UPDATE: TxDOT has already closed Loop 493 to thru traffic (instead of at 5:00 p.m. today, as originally planned). Please be prepared for Loop 493 between the north LCHS parking lot entry and Woodrow Road to be shut down during today's dismissal. Read more below: Barricades will be set up just south of the LCHS north parking lot entrance, meaning that the LCHS north parking lot will still be accessible from Highway 87, but drivers exiting the north parking lot cannot go southbound on Loop 493 (instead, they will be forced to turn north and return to Highway 87). Barricades will also be set up on Loop 493 where it intersects Woodrow Road (at the four-way traffic signal). Drivers on Woodrow Road wishing to turn north onto Loop 493 will be unable to do so. Please plan accordingly as you travel to and from Woodrow-area campuses. We do not know the timeline for this project, but will notify drivers once Loop 493 is reopened to thru traffic. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
