This was sent to Lexington Two families and staff on July 15, 2025.
As summer vacation begins to wind down, and with classes starting in just a few weeks, we wanted to check in and offer a few tips to help ensure that your child has a smooth transition to the first day of the new school year on Tuesday, August 5.
If you have questions not answered here, please feel free to contact your school.

COMPLETE STUDENT ENROLLMENT NOW
If you haven’t completed your student’s registration, now is the time to do that, before the first day of school. Please note, most of our schools require that students be fully enrolled — online registration forms submitted, plus fees paid, and two proofs of residency and ID presented — to get their class schedules and teacher assignments at back-to-school events prior to the first day of classes. Click this link to go to our registration page and get started. You can also stop by the district office anytime during business hours at 3205 Platt Springs Road to use a computer for registration. For special circumstances, make an appointment to come to our Student Services Office: (803) 739-3141.
FREE STUDENT MEALS
All Lexington Two students will eat breakfast and lunch meals at no cost during the 2025-2026 year, with the district’s participation in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program. There are no applications to fill out for students to receive these free school-year meals, and no further action is required of Lexington Two families to participate. In the meantime, through late July, select Lexington Two school sites are offering free breakfast and lunch summer meals, either to eat on site or to pick up in grab and go meal bundles, for all area youth ages 18 and under. Click this link for dates, times, locations and other important details about summer meals.

TRANSPORTATION TO SCHOOL
If your student will be riding the school bus this year, please go ahead and sign up now for the My Ride K-12 bus communication app for bus stop locations, routes, and times. Click this link for directions on downloading the My Ride K-12 bus communications app, and be sure to check the app again the night before school starts to confirm your bus stop location and times. If you have questions about the app, contact our Transportation Office at (803) 755-7455. If your child will be a car rider or driver, please get specific details from your school about morning dropoff and afternoon pickup, parking areas, and more.
FERPA NOTICE
Each year the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) requires that notice be given regarding the categories of directory information that can be made public about a child. Directory information refers to the type of information that tends to be available generally through various sources and is often reported in athletic programs, scholarship awards, award programs and news releases. Click this link to read about the types of directory information, and options for families who do not want this type of information shared.
