The health office is thinking spring
The health office has moved. With the new addition now being occupied the health office now has a new home that is much more open and bigger. The health office now has a room that the students and staff can do telehealth appointments in as well as specific rooms for treatment of students and staff. You can now find the new health office around the corner from the main office. To get into the new health office please enter through the door that is located in the lobby area near the new gym.
Please remember when sneezing and coughing to cover your mouth. Also if your student is sick please keep them home. The New Year is also a great time to get back into the habit of making sure that we are getting enough water and staying hydrated. Please remind your student to be carrying a water bottle with them at all times so that they can stay hydrated and healthy. This is a good time to remind everyone to be washing their hands frequently.
With winter here please be sure that your students are wearing proper clothing and footwear for the weather and being cautious when walking and driving in the winter weather. Also, remember that the temperature in the building can be unpredictable as well, and the students are dressed appropriately for unpredictable temperatures in the building.
Reminder students can not carry any medications with them in school. This includes cough drops and over the counter medications like Tylenol, Ibuprofen, vitamins, or supplements. If your student needs to have medication or needs a cough drop, Tylenol or Ibuprofen, they can visit the health room for these medications. Students are not allowed to bring in prescription medication to the health office, according to school policy all medication must be bought in by a parent and guardian and the parent or guardian will need to sign the medication in with the health office.
The health room does not have any allergy/cold medicine. If your child needs allergy/cold medicine please be sure that they are taking it prior to coming to school and that it will last for 8 hours to get the student through the day.
If you have a student that is in 11th grade, please turn in their physical forms to the health office along with an updated immunization form if you have not already done so. Also as a reminder any current 11th graders will need to have their 2nd meningococcal vaccine (MCV)to start the 12th grade. If your student has not had it, please contact your physician office to get the appointment set up to get vaccination so that your student will not miss any time from school.
ENGINEERING CAREER EXPLORATION DAY FIELD TRIP
On Friday, February 21, 2025, Mrs. Lyon chaperoned an Engineering Career Exploration Day field trip to HACC Harrisburg. Students heard a general overview presentation featuring current HACC students and then rotated through hands-on activities with local engineering professionals. Engineering disciplines that were represented included Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Industrial, and Chemical.
AP PHYSICS 2 FIELD TRIP
Students from Mr. Powell's AP Physics 2 class took a trip to the Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia. The museum is a Smithsonian that houses an SR-71 Blackbird, the Enola Gay, the space shuttle Discovery, and (most importantly) a Thunderbolt plane! Students explored the museum and learned about applications to physics and aerospace engineering.
Did you know that BREAKFAST is FREE for every student in our school district? However, in order to be FREE, students must make sure they are getting a fruit or fruit juice along with their entree item. Is your student unsure about how it works? Send them to the Counseling Office and we will walk them through it OR our awesome Cafeteria Staff can help too.
Does your student qualify for FREE & REDUCED LUNCH? Parents need to re-apply each school year as government guidelines do change yearly. Re-apply within the SchoolCafe app or website.
Stay on top of your student's SchoolCafe account. Do they need more money added or are they in the negative? You can add money via schoolcafe or send a check made out to Littlestown High School with your students name/account number.
Need further help? Contact Food Service Coordinator Jenifer Dooley or 717-359-4146 x1299
SELECTIVE SERVICE REGISTRATION
Registration is a way our government keeps a list of names of men from which to draw in case of a national emergency requiring rapid expansion of our Armed Forces. By registering all young men, Selective Service ensures that a future draft will be fair and equitable.
You can register beginning when you turn 17 years and 3 months old, but you must register by your 18th birthday to avoid the possibility of any fines/penalties.
NOTE: Registering with Selective Service does not mean you are joining the military.
