Principal Message

Dear High School Student Families,

Congratulations to all of our Fall Seniors! Volleyball, football, and Cameron Carn in Cross Country are competing in the postseason. Winter sports are starting their tryouts. Students must be eligible to try out.

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!

-Ryan Rismiller

Healthcare

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we enter the colder months, Iโ€™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

Langham

Parents, itโ€™s important to teach your child basic contact details in case of an emergency. Make sure they know your name, phone number, and home address, as well as a nearby landmark. Regularly practice these details with your child at home. Additionally, help them memorize a backup contact number, such as a grandparent, aunt, or uncle. This information is vital in keeping your child safe and prepared in an emergency situation.
