Hello Future Lambkin Families!

Fort Collins High School is hosting our annual Spread the Love Week from February 3rd - 7th, where we aim to raise funds for a child in the Make-A-Wish program. Over the past two years, we’ve raised over $48,000, helping children experience unforgettable wishes like visiting Hawaii or meeting mascots. This year, we aim to raise $20,000 to help kids like Alyza, our Make-A-wish kid, go to the Great Barrier Reef!

We have multiple events during the week that we’d love for you to attend and get a taste of what high school is like!

Basketball Games - Tuesday, February 4th
We’ll be facing our rivals from Fossil Ridge, with the Girl’s Basketball game at 6:00pm and the Boys game at 7:30pm. Additionally, during halftime of each game is a fundraiser called “Chuck-a-Duck”. Where for $5 they get a rubber duck and at half time they get a chance to chuck it in the middle of the court. The closest ducks to our Lambkin at center court win some huge prizes with all funds going to our cause. We would love it if they wore gear from the middle school they represent. We will have a dedicated Middle School student section next to our High School Student Section.

FCHS Student Council is also hosting food fundraisers throughout the week with a portion of funds going to our Make-A-wish cause. Food fundraisers throughout the week:

Fuzzy’s on Harmony- Monday (5:30 PM-7:30 PM) - Selling Brownies

Noodles on Timberline - (4 PM-8 PM) - Must mention Spread the Love week fundraiser

Qdoba in Council Tree - Wednesday (4 PM- 8PM)

Kung Fu Tea on Timberline - Thursday and Friday (Open - Close)

-FCHS Student Council

8th Graders will bring home their high school registration cards and need to complete them by February 3rd. Please select courses for only their 9th grade year and use the course catalog located on their high school's website.

If you or your student have questions, feel free to put those on paper and attach them to the course registration card when your student turns in their registration card - this will guide the conversations high school counselors will have with your student, as they are meeting with each student individually before handing over their registration.

Dear Lesher Families,

We are excited to announce that Lesher has fully transitioned to using the KioskVue system for student check-ins and check-outs. This new system will streamline the process for recording late arrivals and early dismissals, offering families the flexibility to check in or out of school with ease.

How the KioskVue System Works:

• QR Code Scanning: Parents can use the ParentVUE mobile app to display their QR code, which can be scanned by the iPad in the front office. This will quickly record their late arrival or early dismissal.

• Student ID Card: Students can use their school provided Student ID, which can be scanned by the iPad in the front office.

• Manual Entry: If a student does not have their Student ID card, they can manually enter their Student ID and password into the iPad's on-screen keyboard to complete the check-in or check-out.

All options are simple and convenient, ensuring that students' tardiness or early departures are recorded accurately and efficiently.

What You Need to Know:

• ParentVUE Access: Ensure that you have access to the ParentVUE app, as this will allow you to view your child’s QR code. If you have any trouble accessing your account or need assistance, please contact the front office.

• Student ID and Password: If scanning the QR code is not an option, you can manually enter the student’s ID and password at the front office.

We hope this new system will provide a more efficient and user-friendly experience for all families. If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact the school.

Thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,
Lesher Middle School Attendance

Estimadas familias de Lesher,

Nos complace anunciar que Lesher ha hecho la transición completa al uso del sistema KioskVue para los registros de entrada y salida de estudiantes. Este nuevo sistema agilizará el proceso de registro de llegadas tarde y salidas anticipadas, ofreciendo a las familias la flexibilidad de registrarse con facilidad para entrar o salir de la escuela.

Cómo funciona el sistema KioskVue:

• Escaneo de código QR: Los padres pueden usar la aplicación móvil ParentVUE para mostrar su código QR, que puede escanearse con el iPad en la oficina principal. Esto registrará rápidamente su llegada tarde o salida anticipada.

• Tarjeta de identificación de estudiante: Los estudiantes pueden usar su identificación de estudiante proporcionada por la escuela, que puede escanearse con el iPad en la oficina principal.

• Entrada manual: Si un estudiante no tiene su tarjeta de identificación de estudiante, puede ingresar manualmente su identificación de estudiante y contraseña en el teclado en pantalla del iPad para completar las llegadas o salidas.

Todas las opciones son simples y convenientes, lo que garantiza que las llegadas tarde o las salidas anticipadas de los estudiantes se registren de manera precisa y eficiente.

Lo que necesitas saber:

• Acceso a ParentVUE: Asegúrese de tener acceso a la aplicación ParentVUE, ya que esto le permitirá ver el código QR de su hijo. Si tiene algún problema para acceder a su cuenta o necesita ayuda, comuníquese con la oficina principal o la enlace familiar Andreina Mendoza (970-889-3787).

• ID de estudiante y contraseña: Si escanear el código QR no es una opción, puede ingresar manualmente la identificación y contraseña del estudiante en la oficina principal.

Esperamos que este nuevo sistema proporcione una experiencia más eficiente y fácil de usar para todas las familias. Si tiene alguna pregunta o necesita ayuda, no dude en comunicarse con la escuela.

¡Gracias por su continuo apoyo!

Atentamente,
Asistencia a la escuela secundaria Lesher

Please visit the HS Planning Website for the High School Planning Guide.

The guide covers:

• Exploring career pathways
• Earning college credit and preparing for college in high school
• Career readiness and work experiences
• Integrated Services offerings

In an effort to foster a culture of mutual respect, effective communication, and quality customer service, PSD has created a set of norms for staff, family/guardian, and community engagement. These norms aim to set a positive tone for interactions between staff and parents and community members, whether they happen in person, over the phone, or in writing.

The norms will be posted in all PSD schools and include expectations that:

• Calls or emails that are not emergencies will be acknowledged within three school days.

• Appointments between the parties involved will be established as a norm for addressing concerns or discussing important matters through direct communication.

• Appointments will take place as soon as reasonably possible. Adequate time is needed for preparation and research before an appointment.

• Communication will focus on collaboration and understanding – respectful language and non-confrontational behavior from all parties are expected.

• Boundaries between personal and professional life will be maintained, and sensitive matters will not be addressed in community settings.

It’s important for everyone in our schools and in our communities to feel welcome and engage in mutual respect to best serve students.

If you are a Morning Fresh Dairy customer, please bring in your rinsed milk, juice, cream, or other caps to Mr. Mayer. For every cap that is returned, Lesher Middle School earns money. Please turn rinsed caps in to the box in the front office or to Mr. Mayer’s classroom (room 12). If you are interested in Morning Fresh Dairy, every new household sign up that mentions Lesher raises $25. Click here or ask Mr. Mayer (bmayer@psdschools.org) for more information.

If you know that your child will be missing school a full day or more please have them visit their teachers to fill out this form. When completed please return it to the main office. We will make a copy and return it to the student.

Here is a link to our academic honesty police. Please take time as a family to read through this information and let us know if you have any questions! Thank you!

Academic Honesty Policy

Lesher students cannot carry any bag larger than a pencil case from class to class. Please keep all bookbags, backpacks, tote bags, purses, and other bags in your locker. We do this for two reasons: 1) Safety, we do not want students concealing prohibited items in large bags; 2) Space, we do not want to overcrowd the hallways with large bags. Thank you for your understanding!
