Lawton Public Schools will be in session today, Friday, Jan. 6. Please do your part in helping your child make it safely to school.

Bundle up anyone who walks or bikes to school, or waits at an LPS bus stop.... Any exposed skin – including toes, fingers, ears and face – is especially susceptible to frostbite, so make sure your child wears appropriate footwear (including socks), mittens/gloves and a hat – especially one that covers the ears and/or face.

Dress your child warmly; several layers of loose, warm clothing help insulate against the cold. Most of all, make the necessary plans to limit the time your child spends outside.

As parents, you are the final authority when it comes to your child.
