Good evening, ULS Families,
We had a fantastic first day of school! We know the first day comes with a mix of excitement, nerves, and lots of logistics, and we appreciate your patience and partnership as we work through those first-week adjustments together.
As we head into Day 2, we wanted to share a few helpful reminders and updates:
Lunch
One of our favorite moments today was watching students fill the cafeteria with excitement as they took in the new renovation. We saw lots of happy students leaving with empty plates!
As we continue transitioning to our new lunch procedures, please remind your 6-12 grade students to bring their temporary 2026–2027 student ID to school each day. These IDs help us serve students more efficiently during lunch.
If your student did not receive a temporary ID, there's no need to worry. Some students were enrolled after the list was sent to the printer, while others may have missed the ID station during Prep Day. We know who still needs one, and we'll make sure every student is taken care of as quickly as possible.
You can view the August Lunch menu here. There are also two places in the app where you can see selecting the Parent & Community section of our school app.
Uniform Apparel Exception Late Enroll Students (ONLY)
Families who enrolled after the uniform pre-order deadline should place their uniform order as soon as possible.
Students who enrolled during June or July may wear solid black, white, or gray polos or T-shirts until we return from the Labor Day holiday while waiting for their uniforms to arrive.
If your family needs assistance with temporary daily attire, please contact the front office at universitylab@lsu.edu. We may be able to provide a temporary solution until your uniforms are received.
Need Extra Carpool Tags? (K-5 Only)
If you need additional carpool tags, please complete this form. Orders must be submitted by Friday, August 14.
*Carpool tags are only needed for students in grades K-5.
Tiger Alley Carpool Adjustment for August 14th
LSU move-in days are next weekend beginning on Friday, August 14. While Cub Stop, Middle School and High School dismissals are not directly affected, please allow extra time and expect delays due to a higher volume of traffic in the area.

Vehicles will not be allowed into the ECA (East Campus Apartments) parking lot and will be detoured to E. Campus Drive.
Tiger Alley will be reversed.
When entering the carpool line, vehicles should stay to the RIGHT of the road
Students will load into vehicles on the PASSENGER side.
Vehicles will not be allowed to drive through the back parking lot of ECA and will return to E. Campus Drive.

We are grateful for your cooperation, patience and understanding!
Go Cubs!
