School Expectations Assembly
At the school expectations assembly, students gathered to learn about the key components that contribute to a successful school year. They were introduced to the support staff, who are available to help with academic and personal needs, and reminded of the importance of consistent attendance in achieving their goals. The assembly also covered important guidelines for success, including respectful behavior, meeting academic standards, and following the dress code. A special focus was placed on understanding what it means to be "A-G" — meeting the course requirements necessary for college eligibility — and how staying on track academically opens doors for future opportunities. To learn more, please see the slide deck presentation here.

The Middle School Back to School Night, originally scheduled for Tuesday, September 23, 2025, has been rescheduled to Thursday, September 18, to prevent a scheduling conflict with Rosh Hashanah.
As part of this adjustment, September 23 will no longer be a minimum day. The new minimum day for all middle and high schools will be Thursday, September 18.

Dress Code Policy
At our school, we encourage students to dress for academic success by following a respectful and appropriate dress code. Clothes should cover all undergarments, with no sagging bottoms. To maintain a professional environment, bare stomachs, shoulders, and backs are not allowed, and ski masks should not be worn. On Thursdays, students can show college spirit, while Fridays are encouraged for LHS Spirit Day. Clothing promoting alcohol, drugs, weapons, profanity, or sexual content is prohibited, as are summer or weekend clothes.
The administration reserves the right to request students change or call home if their clothing is deemed inappropriate.
12th graders “in good standing” may apply for an off-campus lunch pass now through September 19th. To be considered "in good standing," students must meet expectations for grades, attendance, and behavior each quarter. Applications are available through ASB, and a parent must sign the application in person unless the student is 18. Students are only allowed to leave through the front gate within the first 10 minutes of lunch. Accumulating 3 tardies to Period 5 or 6 will result in the loss of the lunch pass, with teachers notifying Mr. Booth of any tardies.
