Dear High School Student Families,

Our Red Raider Football team is still playing strong. Next up will be St. Mary's. This game will be at a neutral site that will be announced on Sunday. London social media will share this information when it becomes available.

Morning drop off is looking better each morning. Thank you to all who have a role in this. Students that are driving and parking at the school are expected to have a parking pass. These are available for $5 in the main office. This assists us with knowing what vehicles are supposed to be at the school during school hours.

School fees are listed on the students' report cards. Some of these fees have accumulated since elementary school or include pay-to-participate. These can be paid online through PaySchools (there is a convenience fee) or checks can be sent to London High School. (These are printed on the grade cards that are mailed home and viewable by selecting "View Paper Report Card.") The amount posted is the accumulated amount from the last time fees have been paid.

Go Red Raiders!

Reminder to students and families. Cell phones are to be out of sight when students are in hallways and classrooms. This includes airpods. Students will have access to their devices during their lunch.

Schwartz Driving School has opened a location in London. It is located at 167 West High Street. They have also provided vouchers to the school which gives students FREE classroom instruction. The driver's training is at a reduced rate through the voucher. These vouchers can be picked up from Mr. Rismiller. Families will need to call Schwartz Driving School at 614-882-4235 to enroll.

Here are some steps you can take to support your child in attending school regularly and staying engaged in their education:

• Celebrate the significance of staying engaged and learning every day with your child.

• Engage in a conversation with your child's teacher or principal to discuss attendance and any challenges your child may encounter in staying actively involved in their education.

• Stay well-informed and thoroughly grasp the learning platforms your child utilizes. Familiarize yourself with accessing important information like attendance, assignments, and grades. If you require assistance during this process, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's school office or classroom teacher.

Children need healthy meals to thrive and succeed in school. London City Schools is proud to offer nutritious meals to all students each school day. Breakfast is available for $1.75 at London Elementary School (LES) and $2.00 at London Middle School (LMS) and London High School (LHS). Lunch is $3.00 at LES and $3.50 at LMS and LHS.

Your child may qualify for free or reduced-price meals based on your household's income. The reduced prices are $0.30 for breakfast and $0.40 for lunch. To see if your family qualifies, please complete the 2024-2025 Free and Reduced Meal Application included in this packet.

For more information, you can visit our food service page or contact Kari Brickman at (740) 852-5700 ext. 3025 or by email at kari.brickman@london.k12.oh.us You can also reach her by mail at 380 Elm St, London, OH 43140.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Ensuring your child has access to healthy meals helps support their learning and success at school.

Sincerely,  
Kari Brickman

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we enter the colder months, I’d like to remind everyone of a few essentials to help keep our students comfortable, safe, and prepared for any unexpected situations.

1. Change of Clothes for Elementary Students: For our younger students, please consider sending a spare set of clothes in their backpacks. Accidents, spills, or minor mishaps can happen at any time, and having a change of clothes ready can make their day much easier.

2. Weather-Appropriate Outerwear: As temperatures drop, please send students with warm coats, hats, and gloves to ensure they stay cozy during recess and other outdoor activities. Layers are also a good idea, as they allow students to adjust to indoor and outdoor temperatures more comfortably.

3. Handwashing: With cold and flu season here, please encourage your child to wash their hands frequently, especially before meals and after recess. Keeping hands clean is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of germs and keep everyone healthy!

Thank you for helping us ensure all students are prepared for a healthy and happy November

Students, biking to school is a great way to stay active, but safety is key! Always wear a properly fitted helmet and make sure your bike is in good condition. Ride on the right side of the road, obey all traffic signs and signals, and use hand signals when turning. Be alert, avoid distractions, and make sure to use bike lanes when available. Stay visible by wearing bright or reflective gear, and remember—safety comes first on your ride to school!
