Fast Food Policy
Reminder- LHS strongly encourage students to either bring a lunch to school or to purchase one from our cafeteria. We prefer parents not bring lunches to students during the school day. Also, it is not appropriate to have a birthday celebration during the school day. Group pizza, balloons, cakes, for example, should be provided to celebrate or recognize a student after the school day. Our office is a very busy place and is simply not staffed to accommodate parents routinely requesting deliveries to students. If you choose to bring food to your student during one lunch there is a possibility that it will not be delivered.
From the Counselor's Office...
Parents, please be checking your students HAC (Home Access Center) for grades. Please email teachers if you have a concern about your child's grade. Marking Period 1 came to a close on 11/1/19. Reports cards can be viewed on HAC as of November 13, 2019.
We do not send out hard copies of this report. If you need a hard copy of the report card, please email your child's counselor after November 13th. Counselors are assigned by first letter of last name, as follows:
