A huge thank you to our friends and community partners at Chartwells for continuing to step up and support our community during this difficult time.

We are happy to share that 189 bagged lunches were distributed today! We are grateful to everyone who helped make this possible.

Remember, meals will continue tomorrow, with breakfast from 9:00–11:30 a.m. and lunch from 12:00–2:30 p.m.

Thank you, Chartwells, for helping us take care of our community. Together, we are stronger!

We know this has been an incredibly difficult time for so many in our community. Many of our neighbors are still without power and continue to navigate the challenges left behind by this devastating storm.

Today, we invite anyone in our community who needs a place to cool off, charge their devices, get some water, or simply take a break to join us at the Lake Ridge Schools Conference Center, 3900 Calhoun Street, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Please use the entrance near the football gates.

We are also incredibly grateful to our friends and community partners at Chartwells, who are helping us provide 200 snack bags for those who stop by today. Snack bags will be available while supplies last.

We know we cannot take away all of the challenges our community is facing, but we hope we can provide a little comfort and support during this difficult time.
Please know that this is open to the entire community. You do not need to be a Lake Ridge family to stop by.

Take care of yourselves, take care of one another, and know that Lake Ridge is here for you.

Together, we will recover. Together, we are stronger.

Lake Ridge Families: This is from the Lake Ridge Fire Protection District for those with well water:

Attention Lake Ridge Community,

The Lake Ridge Fire Protection District knows that many in our community have wells, and have lost access to water. If you are in need of water we will be at the fire station 2301 W 47th Ave MONDAY from 1pm - 3pm to allow you to fill up water jugs and containers.

We will be set up in the east parking lot with a hose. Please do not park in front or behind the station.

If the outage continues we will post daily times for water availability until power is restored.

We are all in this together! Stay strong!

Tomorrow Monday 1pm - 3pm

IMPORTANT DISTRICT UPDATE: SCHOOLS CLOSED TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 2026

Dear Lake Ridge Families, Staff, and Community,

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools will remain closed on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, as three of our buildings remain without power following the devastating storms that impacted our community.

As power and services are restored, we must carefully evaluate all aspects of our district operations before welcoming students back. This includes ensuring our buildings are safe and operational, transportation can safely get students to and from school, and we are able to provide meals and a safe learning environment for every student.

Our teams will continue working and assessing the status of our buildings so that we can develop a safe and responsible plan for our return.

We know these continued closures are difficult for our families, staff, and students, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding.

We are in this together. Lake Ridge is a strong community, and we know that we will come through this stronger than ever.

Please continue to monitor district communications for additional updates.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: SCHOOL OPENING DELAYED

Dear Lake Ridge New Tech Schools Families, Staff, and Community,

Due to the severe storm damage throughout our community, Lake Ridge New Tech Schools will postpone the start of school until Monday, August 17, 2026.

Our hope is to safely welcome students back on Monday; however, this date will depend on conditions continuing to improve. Before reopening, we must be confident that we can safely provide our students with transportation, food service, electricity, and fully operational school facilities.

The storms have caused significant damage to our schools and surrounding community. At this time, downed power lines, fallen and partially hanging trees, debris, power outages, and other hazards remain in several areas. These conditions also create serious concerns for students waiting at bus stops and for our buses traveling safely throughout the community.

Additionally, we must ensure that fuel is available for our buses and that our transportation routes can be safely traveled before students return.

The safety of our students and staff is our highest priority. While we understand the inconvenience this delay may cause, we do not want to reopen until we can safely transport, feed, and serve our students.

Our teams will continue assessing our buildings, transportation routes, utilities, and overall conditions throughout the district. We will keep our families, staff, and community updated as progress is made and will communicate immediately if additional changes become necessary.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding, and flexibility as our schools and community recover from this devastating storm.

Thank you for working together with us as we navigate these challenging circumstances. Please continue to stay safe, and be on the lookout for additional updates from Lake Ridge New Tech Schools.

We look forward to welcoming our students back as soon as it is safe to do so.
