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

We know that life gets busy and appointments are sometimes unavoidable. When possible, we encourage families to schedule doctor, dentist, and other appointments outside of school hours. If your child does need to miss school, returning for part of the day can make a meaningful difference in keeping them on track.
As you plan ahead, please remember that all absences—both excused and unexcused—add up and impact your child’s overall attendance. Whenever possible, we recommend scheduling vacations during school breaks and holidays to help your child stay engaged and supported in their learning.
|
As we continue working together to keep our students and staff safe, we ask all drivers to please follow posted school zone speed limits. Slowing down and staying alert, especially during arrival and dismissal times, helps create a safer environment for everyone.
Thank you for doing your part to keep our school community 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
LES/LPS Clinic: Baylee Semler and Elizabeth Kennell — 740-852-5700 ext. 1067
