Good afternoon families!

This is the final week of the quarter and Spring Break is next week. Students need to be checking to make sure they are meeting deadlines. Grades from this quarter will determine eligibility into the fourth quarter and could have an impact on spring sports and earning credit at the end of the semester.

State Testing will be in April. The dates are shared in this update. More details are to come.

Students that have not entered their requests need to meet with their counselor. All London High School students should have schedule requests entered- this includes students who are taking CCP classes, courses at Tolles, or students who are taking classes through London Unlimited.

Notice to all families, please check the printed version of the last interims. School fees are listed. Some fees have been accumulating since elementary school.

Notice to all high school drivers, beware of your surroundings, watch for pedestrians, take your time in school zones, and if assisting with dropping off siblings- watch for children getting in and out of cars.

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.

Appointments and Vacations

• Whenever possible, please schedule doctor, dentist, and other appointments outside of school hours to minimize disruptions to learning.

• If your child needs to leave school for an appointment, we encourage them to return for part of the day to maximize instructional time.

• Family vacations should be planned during scheduled school breaks and holidays to support consistent attendance and academic success.

Stay Alert & Stay Safe: Bus Stop Safety Tips

London City Schools reminds all students to stay aware and use caution when walking to and from the bus stop. Your safety is our top priority!

Stay Aware – Avoid distractions like phones or headphones. Pay attention to traffic and your surroundings.
Use Caution – Walk on sidewalks when possible, and always look both ways before crossing streets.
Be Visible – Wear bright clothing or reflective gear in low-light conditions.
Stand Back – Stay at least five giant steps away from the curb while waiting for the bus.
Cross Safely – Always wait for the bus driver’s signal before crossing in front of the bus.

A little caution goes a long way—let’s keep every journey to and from school safe! 

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.

Stay Active, Stay Healthy!

Move Throughout the Day – Take short activity breaks, stretch, or walk.
Enjoy the Outdoors – Fresh air and movement boost mood and energy levels.
Stay Active, Stay Focused – Exercise improves concentration and helps reduce stress.

Let’s make movement a daily habit for a healthier, happier school community!

Vaping can have a detrimental effect on a student's academic success. A 2021 study revealed that students who used e-cigarettes were more likely to fall behind on assignments, miss classes, and have lower GPAs compared to their peers who did not use tobacco products. Maintaining a tobacco-free lifestyle supports both academic achievement and overall well-being.
