We believe: All people can learn. Schools create conditions for success academically, socially, emotionally, physically, and aesthetically. Teaching and learning are the shared responsibilities of home, school, and the community. Our mission is to assure comprehensive learning for all so that each person will be a lifelong learner.

COVID-19 Update New York State's Micro-Cluster Strategy November 13, 2020: As you may know, the COVID-19 infection rate is increasing in Western New York. As a result, Governor Cuomo has instituted a new strategy of monitoring and responding to outbreaks of new cases within a limited and definable geographic area, which are called micro-clusters. Our students, faculty, and staff have diligently followed the established health and safety protocols to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in our schools. Despite everyone’s best efforts, the rising community spread of the virus could impact our hybrid instructional model.
Emergency School Closing Procedures: A Message from Superintendent Bradley to update parents/legal guardians on the process for closing or delaying school.
First and foremost, thank you for your patience and support during the first couple of months of school as we reopened under very unusual conditions. As you know, Lockport’s school reopening plan included both a HYBRID LEARNING MODEL and a FULL REMOTE LEARNING MODEL. At this time, the Lockport City School District learning models (Hybrid and Full Remote) will remain the same until further notice.
PRE-K to GRADE 12 COVID TOOLKITS for Parents/Students and Staff: Released Thursday, October 1, 2020 by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) and the Niagara County Department of Health (NCDOH). Please use these toolkits to determine if your child or a staff member should go to school or work, and when a child or staff member is ready to return to school or work after symptoms/illness. You may contact the nurse in your school with any questions.
On Tuesday, September 8, 2020, Governor Cuomo announced that the state Department of Health created a dashboard system for schools to send the state information on the district's teaching model, the district's onsite and off site enrollment, and the number of possible COVID cases in a school. The purpose of the dashboard is to display real time data points to the school community on a daily basis, and to use the data for making decisions on school closings and reopenings. The dashboard is located at schoolcovidreportcard.health.ny.gov for your review.
This is a reminder that due to COVID-19 all district buildings, playgrounds, and athletic facilities are CLOSED for usage by the community and students until further notice.
