Dear LHS Families,

State testing begins this week with the English 2 test. on Wednesday and Thursday. Students testing will report at normal time. Students not testing will have a two hour delay. Buses will run at their normally scheduled time. The bell schedules for testing are listed below in this update.

Additional information in this update includes, a link to Drive to Succeed (opportunity for financial assistance with driving.) As a reminder, 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
Go Red Raiders!

Although there are no more vouchers, Drive to Succeed is a grant program to assist with reducing financial barriers. Follow the image above to be directed to the Drive to Succeed homepage, and then follow the steps as the webpage shares.

This also includes personal devices- iPads, personal laptops, etc.

Bus Safety Reminder

This is a reminder of how important it is for students to ride their assigned bus, get off at the correct stop, and follow safe practices at bus stops.

When students do not follow their assigned transportation plan, it can create confusion and potential safety concerns. Please help us by reminding your child to wait in a safe location, stay back from the road, and follow driver directions at all times.

Thank you for your partnership in keeping our students safe.

Sincerely,
London City Schools Transportation Department

Chronic absence can be easy to miss, especially when it results from occasional missed days rather than long stretches away from school. Both excused and unexcused absences add up, and consistent attendance plays a vital role in your child’s success. Let’s partner together to make sure every school day matters.

For the safety of all students, please remember to drop off and pick up your child only in designated areas. Following these procedures helps keep traffic moving efficiently and protects everyone in the school zone. Please follow the posted speed limit, avoid double parking or blocking crosswalks, and do not allow students to exit vehicles in the middle of the street. Your cooperation plays an important role in keeping all students safe.

Hello Families,

If you have a child who will be in 7th or 12th grade next year (2026-2027 school year), you may want to make sure they have the required immunizations. For 7th, it is a Tdap and the first of two meningococcals, and for 12th graders, it is the second meningococcal. Now is a good time to schedule an appointment or get your exemption updated if needed. Having this done will prevent your child from being excluded from school. 

Please make sure we are updated with new phone numbers and having an extra set of clothes and dressing appropriately for this ever changing Ohio weather. 

Thank you for your support,

LHS Clinic: Nikki Moore — 740-852-5700 ext. 4055 
LMS Clinic: Monica Sorrell — 740-852-5700 ext. 3073
