district logoWelcome to Lawrence Public Schools!

We look forward to hearing from you about how we can work together to provide the best educational experience for all students.

Due to budget cuts in the Lawrence Public Schools, the district's contract with Contact Us (K12 Insight/Let's Talk) will expire on October 31, 2021.

Lawrence Public Schools will continue to respond to the questions and concerns of students, staff, school families, and community members in a timely manner. You may find contact information for all district staff by using the Directory on our website at https://www.usd497.org. The district website also includes contact information for the Lawrence Board of Education under the School Board menu. Each of our school websites includes contact information for that school's administration and teaching staff.

If this is an emergency, please call 9-1-1.

If you are a student with a question or concern
, please reach out to your teacher, school counselor, or school principal.

If you are a parent/guardian with a question or concern about your child's education, we recommend that you call or email your child's teacher. If your question or concern is not resolved to your satisfaction, please contact your child's school principal. If you need further assistance, please contact the school district office, 785-832-5000, and ask to speak to the Director of Elementary Schools or the Director of Secondary Schools.
