For underclassmen, this week we will continue to plan for the 2025-2026 school year. We have two more sessions this week. You will find the course guide available for scheduling classes. Counselors will be meeting with students this week to plan for requests. Parent Teacher Conferences are coming up. Please see the image below to schedule your time slot. Attendance matters.

Winter regular season is rapidly coming to an end. Post-season is right around the corner. As we get into February, draws will be occurring for post-season seeding.

Employers, colleges, and military will want to know about your attendance and that you are making a significant effort towards your future self. For our seniors, this is your last semester; make it count. Start planning to make sure you have done all of the necessary things to be able to walk in at Graduation in May.

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.

At London City Schools, we believe every day counts. Attendance is essential for every student as we strive to strengthen learning in literacy and mathematics. Being present in school is critical to preparing students for future success. Together, let's prioritize attendance and pave the way for bright futures!

Winter Transportation Safety Update

As winter weather approaches, London City Schools reminds families to prioritize safety when traveling to and from school. Snow, ice, and reduced visibility can make roads more hazardous, so please allow extra time for travel and remind students to stay alert when boarding or exiting buses.

To ensure smooth and timely transportation, it’s important that students are ready and waiting at their designated bus stops when the bus arrives. Students should not remain indoors as this can delay the route and disrupt schedules for others. Bus drivers will take extra precautions to ensure everyone arrives safely, and families are encouraged to dress children warmly for potential delays.

If weather conditions impact school schedules, updates will be communicated via our website, social media, and local news outlets.

Together, we can keep our students safe and on schedule this winter!

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

Important Reminders About When to Keep Your Child Home

To help maintain the health and safety of all students and staff, please review the following guidelines:

• Fever: If your child has a fever today, they should not attend school tomorrow.

• Medication for Fever: If you are giving your child Tylenol or Motrin for a fever today or to help them "make it through the day," please keep them home.

• Diarrhea or Vomiting: If your child experiences diarrhea or vomiting today, they should stay home tomorrow.

With flu season in full swing, we are seeing many children with symptoms such as those mentioned above. To prevent the spread of illness, we kindly ask you to keep your child at home if they are unwell.

If you are unsure whether your child should attend school, feel free to contact the clinic at the school they attend for guidance.

Additional Important Reminders:

• Contact Information: If your contact information has changed, please update it with the school building(s) your child attends to ensure we can reach you in case of an emergency.

• Cold Weather Preparedness: As temperatures drop, please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather. This includes a warm coat, hat, and gloves.

Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe, healthy, and prepared during this season!
