Principal's Corner
Hello FamiLEE,
We have made it to the end of the third month of the school year. I am excited that it has been a successful school year so far. I encourage all parents with junior students to question your child about his/her scores on the practice ACT. We are working hard to prepare for our ACT test in April.
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
