Lexington County, SC – Students and staff in Lexington County School District Three will shift to an eLearning Day on Monday, January 26, as winter weather concerns increase across the region.
According to Lexington County School District Three officials, the decision was made as a precaution due to a developing winter weather system expected to impact much of South Carolina, including Lexington County. A Winter Storm Watch has been issued, with forecasts warning of freezing rain, icy conditions, and extremely cold temperatures that could make travel unsafe.
District administrators said wintry conditions may persist into early next week, raising concerns about hazardous roadways and the possibility of power disruptions. As a result, all students will complete their coursework remotely through the district’s established eLearning program.
School leaders emphasized that the move prioritizes the safety of students, teachers, and staff while ensuring instructional continuity. Families are encouraged to make sure students are prepared to log in and follow their normal eLearning schedules from home.
Lexington County School District Three serves the Batesburg-Leesville area and surrounding communities in western Lexington County, located southwest of the Columbia metro area. District officials said they will continue monitoring weather conditions and will provide updates if additional schedule changes become necessary.
Parents and guardians can find full details about eLearning expectations, assignments, and schedules by visiting the district’s official website at lex3.org.
Residents across Lexington County are also encouraged to stay alert for changing weather conditions and limit travel if icy roads develop overnight or early Monday morning.
