Below is the same link in case you need it. They will also take walk ins. Please remember that an adult must accompany anyone under the age of 18 and that they must have the signed consent/encounter form with them. I have attached all of the forms to this email.

Good afternoon Lancaster County Schools parents,
We will be holding a 12-17 year old Covid vaccination clinic on Thursday, June 3rd from 9am to 1pm at Lancaster High School. We are taking appointments or you can just walk in, but students must have a guardian present to sign paperwork. All students/parents should be receiving an email with the appointment link and paperwork. All three schools will have the paperwork available on Tuesday if you do not have email. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to our LPS nurse, Kelly Kellum RN at 804-462-5100 and choose the primary school.

Good Evening LCPS Families:
This message is in reference to the recent issues caused by the shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline. We understand that the frenzy caused by the concern for fuel shortages is putting a strain on the surrounding areas’ gas supply. Due to the difficulty to find fuel over the next few days, LCPS will operate remotely, or Learning Mode Red, on Friday, May 14, 2021 and all LCPS buildings will be closed. If the issue is not resolved over the weekend, we will reevaluate the situation. Currently, we plan to resume our normal "B" week schedule for Monday, May 17, 2021.
The May school board meeting will be held this Tuesday, 5/11/2021 at 5:30 PM and will be conducted in-person at Lancaster Middle School. This meeting will also allow virtual participation for the public. 30 additional guests to attend in-person with adherence to social distancing. It will be held in the LMS auditorium. This will be on a first come, first serve basis. Social distancing will be enforced and public attendees will be required to wear a face covering and have a health screening.
