Please continue to help reinforce positive values with your student as we progress through the year. We will continue to promote the values of the Raider Way.

As a reminder, when dropping off students in the morning. Please drop them off so they can exit onto the sidewalk and not have to cross all of the lanes. When dropping off students, all are encouraged to use the entire length of the fire lane when dropping off students. Students that are walking to school and crossing Elm need to use the signals to help with alert oncoming traffic. Thanks for your assistance with keeping students safe. Have a great week!

Go Red Raiders!

ATTENDANCE MATTERS: LCS PARTNERS WITH STAY IN THE GAME NETWORK TO HELP ADDRESS CHRONIC STUDENT ABSENCES

Lou Kramer

London City Schools places a strong emphasis on regular attendance, as absences can accumulate quietly over time. Missing just two days per month throughout a nine-month school year can lead to chronic absenteeism. We remind all students to “Stay in the Game.”

A quick update from Nurse:

12th grade immunization letters will be sent home soon. If your child is not up to date with the required immunizations or if there's no exemption on file, you will receive a letter requesting updated documentation. If you believe you've already submitted the necessary documents, please feel free to reach out to me via phone or email. Should you ever have questions about when to keep your child home due to illness, don't hesitate to get in touch with one of us in the clinics.
