Hello FamiLEE,

Progress reports went home yesterday in 3rd block. Please review your child's grades and let us know if there's anything we can do to support your child. The end of the semester is quickly approaching and we want to do everything we can to ensure your child passes their classes so they are on track for next semester.

Please send excuse notes to LHS.Attendance@hsv-k12.org. We are working hard to meet our goal of a 95% attendance rate. Please help us with this effort. We need to get back up to 95%.

Our magnet window is open. If you know someone interested in applying, please send them the information in this newsletter. We want to grow our FamiLEE!!!

Have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Kitrise Torain

LHS Principal

• Attention FamiLEE! The boys and girls soccer teams are selling bedsheets for a fundraiser this year.

• Attention Parents & Guardians! Every Tuesday through Friday, we have FamiLEE time between 11:30am-12:15pm. This is a time when students can get help from their teachers or attend clubs.
