Hello FamiLEE,

We had a great first week back and we hope all of you are enjoying the snow today! 9th-11th graders took a Mock ACT test yesterday. We are working hard to prepare all of our students for this important assessment so that they have as many options as possible after graduation.

Paper report cards went home yesterday in advisory. If you are not already using the PowerSchool Mobile app to monitor your child's grades, we strongly encourage you to do so. Please email patrick.holder@hsv-k12.org if you need a PowerSchool login.

As we begin the spring semester, I want to emphasize the importance of all students being here each day and on time. Good attendance is essential for achievement in school and we need your child here as much as possible so that we can move forward as a school community. When your child misses school for any reason, please send excuse notes to LHS.Attendance@hsv-k12.org.

Have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Kitrise Torain

LHS Principal
