Lake County Schools will open on Monday.

After monitoring Tropical Storm Isaac during the weekend, a decision was made Sunday afternoon to maintain the current student calendar. Working with the Lake County Department of Public Safety, Emergency Management Division, District officials received up-to-date information regarding Tropical Storm Isaac from the National Weather Service Office in Melbourne. The Lake County School District will continue to monitor Tropical Storm Isaac. Parents are encouraged to stay tuned to local media reports regarding important weather information.

Lake County Schools deploys a variety of communication tools to keep parents and the community informed of important updates from the School District:

• SCHOOLMESSENGER: The SchoolMessenger Notification System provides timely communication to parents and staff members through automated telephone messages. In order to enhance a school’s and District’s ability to accurately deliver that information, parents can create and update their own contact preference profile using SchoolMessenger’s Contact Manager website. Contact Manager allows parents to control the ways in which they prefer to be contacted. It also works like a mailbox, giving parents a place to review messages they may have missed. In order to utilize this feature follow the steps atwww.lake.k12.fl.us/contactmanager to create an account through the secure Contact Manager website provided by SchoolMessenger.
