 The administrative team would like the school community to be aware of the following additions and changes at LCHS:
- The English, Science and Fine Arts departments welcomed new teachers over the summer: Amy Elliott, Scott Hammerl, Kate Hofeldt, Neil Lesinski, and Diana O'Connor. Read more about them above.
- Back to School Night is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 1 at 7 p.m. Parents and guardians will have a chance to meet their student’s teachers as well as the administrative team during this open house event. Parents and guardians, please remember to bring your student's class schedule.
- Most Mondays will be Late-in Days, meaning classes do not begin until 9 a.m. Faculty members attend meetings during the morning hours on these days.
- LCHS also has implemented a new tardy policy for students who arrive late to their first period classes. In order to minimize the amount of time they are out of class, students should report directly to first period if they arrive to school less than 10 minutes late. If they are more than 10 minutes late, they need to report to the attendance office first for a pass. See the student handbook for more information about tardies.
- Be sure to check the PASS system for grades and attendance. New this year, disciplinary records are posted on PASS.
- Students who attend Technology Campus should visit the link under “Information Station” regularly for news and updates.
- Members of the school community also should frequent the Guidance Department website as well as the soon-to-come Dean’s Desk site.
- Faculty members continue to be hard at work to offer valuable educational opportunities to students. For example, some teachers are involved in study groups to improve reading instruction and to show how videotaping and then reflecting upon their lessons can help teachers improve their practices.
