Hello parents. Students who ride bus 206 Bryan Dean's bus that goes through Sandlick and Deane from LCC will be late this evening. They will be close to 45 minutes to an hour late this evening. We are sorry for any inconvenience. Thank you.

We are eager to get WWE back in their building. There are a few last minute things to take care of so we will not have open house on Sunday evening. Open house will be on Monday 8/21 from 4:00-6:00. School will be in session on Monday morning. Doors will open at 7:20am. Students will be escorted to their classes by WWE staff and central office staff. We look forward to welcoming our students back to "the hive"!!

Good Afternoon As eager as we are to get WWE back in their building, we want to make sure it is in the best condition it can be for our students. Because of that, Open House at West Whitesburg Elementary will be canceled for this evening. We are postponing the start date for West Whitesburg Elementary until Monday August 21. I apologize in advance and ask for your patience as we do the best job we can to make our building the best it can be. Whitesburg Middle School will start tomorrow, Wednesday, August 16 at their regular schedule. They are ready and waiting to see their students. Once again - WWE will begin on Monday, August 21 and WMS will begin tomorrow, August 16. Good bye

Good Evening, Tomorrow will be the first day of school for all students in Letcher County Public Schools with the exception of West Whitesburg Elementary and Whitesburg Middle School. We have all been anxiously awaiting the opening of West Whitesburg Elementary School, and it is looking great. However, we want to put the finishing touches on the space and have decided to push the start date for WWE and WMS until Wednesday, August 16. We appreciate your patience with us as we make final preparations to welcome back our Yellow Jackets. All other Letcher County Schools will start tomorrow, Monday, August 14 at the regular start time. We hope you have a great 1st day of school!! Good bye
