Hello FamiLEE,

It is Spring Break. I hope everyone has a great week planned. Please make sure you come back ready to finish the school year strong. After students return, we have only 3 weeks until our Juniors take the ACT, so we will hit the ground running on Monday, March 17.

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

Below is our current attendance rate. We have a goal of 95% this year. Please help us reach this goal by ensuring your child is here every day. If you child has to be out, please send excuses. The NEW attendance email address is LHS.attendance@hsv-k12.org.

• Attention Parents & Guardians! All medications prescribed and over the counter require this form from your child's physician. Students are not allowed to carry any kind of medications around with them without the permission of the school nurses - they must be kept in the nurses office with the correct forms on file. Medications found on students will be confiscated and must be picked up by parents/guardians. This is a district wide requirement.

• The SOAR HBCU Scholars Program is for rising 11th grade students. This is a great, FREE, opportunity that will help them understand what college life will be like after graduation. Please see the flyer below for more information!

• Attention Students and Parents/Guardians! Please note that students have the opportunity to visit their teachers for help during FamiLEE Time (11:30am-12:15pm) instead of going to clubs every Tuesday through Friday. Please see the attached schedule of teacher office hours and encourage your child to take advantage of this opportunity!

Her favorite teacher at Lee is Ms. Smith because she is super sweet and she helps you understand your work! Angelo Carrion-Rodriguez comes to us from Morris Middle School. Here at Lee he is in the vocal magnet. In his spare time he likes designing fashions, sleeping, and playing video games.
