Principal Message

Dear LHS Families,

In this update, you will find the Senior Newsletter from Mrs. Hutson (this will be coming in the mail as well), a notice from Jostens for Seniors to come to lunches on March 31 for graduation materials that have been order, information regarding state testing and delay days (students testing had emails sent to them and parents), and a link to Drive to Succeed (opportunity for financial assistance with driving.)

Report cards were shared this last week. Check the printable version of your report card for school fee information. These can be paid at the school or through PaySchools.

Please refer to social media pages for the most up-to-date information on spring sports schedules and times due to any weather events.

If your student is in Algebra 1, American Government, American History, Biology, English 2, or Geometry, you should receive an email regarding specifics on the test date and the test room. You should have an email if your student is in any of these courses. If you are not receiving emails, please check your spam or review your FinalForms to make sure your email is correct.

We hope everyone has a great break!

Ryan Rismiller
Principal, London High School

Transportation

Bus Safety Reminder

Student safety is our top priority at London City Schools. We ask all drivers to please slow down, stay alert, and follow all school bus safety laws.

Please remember:

-Slow down and be alert when you see a school bus.
-Never pass a bus when its red lights are flashing, and the stop arm is extended.
-Watch carefully for children who may be crossing the road.
-Allow extra time in the mornings and afternoons during peak bus hours.

Keeping our students safe is a shared responsibility. Thank you for doing your part.

Sincerely,
London City Schools Transportation Department
740-852-5700 ext.

transportation.lcs@london.k12.oh.us

Whenever possible, families should schedule doctor, dentist, and other appointments outside of school hours. If a student must miss school for an appointment, they should return to school for part of the day whenever possible. Families are also encouraged to plan vacations during scheduled school breaks and holidays to avoid missing valuable instructional time. Please remember that both excused and unexcused absences are added together and count toward a student’s total days missed from school.

Safety

For everyone’s safety, students must never play with or experiment with fire, whether at home or anywhere else. Fire is extremely dangerous and should only be used with adult supervision and permission.

Parents and guardians, please talk with your student about the dangers of fire and the importance of following fire safety rules. We also encourage families to store matches, lighters, and other fire-related items safely out of reach of children.

Practicing proper fire safety helps prevent accidents and protects our homes, schools, and community. Thank you for helping keep everyone safe.

Nurse news

Hello Families,

We would like to remind all families to please review and update your contact information, especially your phone numbers. It is extremely important that we have working and current phone numbers on file for parents and emergency contacts.

If your child becomes ill, is injured, or there is a health concern during the school day, we must be able to reach you quickly. Incorrect or disconnected numbers can delay care and create unnecessary stress for students.

If any of your contact information has changed, please contact the school office as soon as possible to ensure our records are accurate.

Thank you for your prompt attention and for helping us keep your child safe and supported at school.

Thank you for your support,

LHS Clinic: Nikki Moore — 740-852-5700 ext. 4055 
LMS Clinic: Monica Sorrell — 740-852-5700 ext. 3073
LES/LPS Clinic: Baylee Semler and Elizabeth Kennell — 740-852-5700 ext. 1067
