Good Afternoon Imagine Lakewood Ranch Families,

As shared this morning we wanted to keep you informed that – All School District of Manatee County Schools will be closed starting tomorrow, Tuesday, September 27th, as we open up shelters for Hurricane Ian.  Imagine School at Lakewood Ranch follows the district protocols, so please know that we will also be closed. The duration of school closings is not known at this time, and will be dependent on the movement and impact of the storm.

Please stay safe.
