Hello FamiLEE,

We had a productive week. We have two more months in this school year. Please encourage your young adult to finish strong.

Friday, April 18, 2025, will be an E-Learning Day. Students will have assignments on Schoology for each class. They will follow their regular schedule to log into the on-line classes. They will have a Google Meets link in a folder in their Schoology class. Their teachers will give them instructions for the assignments and class instruction.

Our Juniors will be taking the ACT Plus Writing test on Tuesday, April 8. All 9th, 10th, & 12th grade students will have an E-Learning day that day and will access their teachers instruction through Zoom/ Google Meets and Schoology. Our juniors had a great boot camp today. We are seven school days away from the ACT. We are ready to show growth. Please make sure your junior young adult is at school on Tuesday, April 8th by 8:20a.m.

I want to continue 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

• Shout-out to our Freshmen of the Week from this week! Eloise Goldman comes to us from ASFL Middle School. She is in the visual arts magnet here at Lee. In her spare time she likes to watch television. When she graduates from high school she is undecided on what she wants to do. Her favorite teacher at Lee is Ms. Thompson because she is cool and awesome! Kaden Garner comes to us from Monrovia Middle School. Here at Lee he is in the theatre magnet and is cast in the musical, Matilda. In his spare time he likes to tumble. When he graduates from high school he would like to become a travel nurse. His favorite teacher at Lee is Mr. Kisor because he is supportive and is always there to talk to. Congratulations to both of them for representing our FamiLEE values so well!
