Pine Ridge Middle School
Let’s Swarm
Welcome to Lexington School District Two, where Champions for Children is more than a just a theme. It is a leadership standard. It represents how we make decisions, how we support one another, and how we create learning environments where every child is known, valued, supported, and challenged. Our district is committed to building Destination Schools — schools where families choose to be, students are excited to learn, employees are proud to serve, and the community sees excellence in action.
Mark your calendars! Lexington Two's annual Transition Fair is set for September 15. Agencies from across the state will be in attendance to provide information for parents of students with exceptional needs. The event is 5:30-7 p.m. at our district office. Pizza will be provided.
It’s now easier than ever to receive information about opportunities for your child!
On September 30,2025, Lexington School District 2 began using Peachjar as our new electronic flyer communication tool. Flyers will now be sent directly to your email inbox and posted to the school’s website!
