Principal Message

Good afternoon! To our veterans, we say, "Thank you for your service." Your sacrifices are not taken for granted. Your bravery and commitment have made our country a better place, and we are eternally grateful. You are the true heroes of our nation, and we honor you. May your sacrifices be recognized and appreciated every day, not just on this Veterans Day.

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 encourages you to maintain an attendance calendar or chart at home. At the end of each week, take the time to check in with your student and discuss any absences. Additionally, at the end of the month, revisit the calendar and have a conversation with your student about whether the attendance goals were met. Together, let's make sure they "Stay in the Game" for academic success!

A quick update from Nurse:

Thank you for the wonderful response of getting your child's updated immunization records turned in. We will be reaching out again to parents whose students are still not compliant with Ohio Department of Health guidelines and requirements.  If you are a parent who has a future appointment, please contact me.

Attention Class of 2027-

Tolles Career & Technical Center has a sophomore only program that we wanted to make you aware of. Applications will be out in November, so now is the time to think about applying. 

Tolles' new Career Exploration Academy is a year-long program that offers sophomore students opportunities and experiences for personal growth and career exploration. Whether a student decides to return to their home school or transition to a Tolles’ Career Technology program, they will complete their sophomore year with increased awareness of themselves, their education, and their career goals.

The Career Exploration Academy is a program for 10th graders that allows them to explore all of the Tolles labs and gives them a fast pass to their chosen lab their Junior year. 

We will be having the Career Exploration Academy teacher from Tolles come to do a presentation with students that might be interested and/or be a good fit for the program next week. If your freshman might be a good fit for this or might be interested, please have them fill out this form so we can invite them to the meeting next week.

Might be a good fit for the CEA: 

  • Students that are definitely interested in Tolles

  • Students that have no idea where to start with careers

  • Students that struggle in typical classes, but do well with hands on experience
