Good afternoon families!
Spring Break is here! We hope all have the opportunity to relax and recharge in preparation for the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter brings us State Testing, Spring Sports, grades for advancement to the next school year, and for our Seniors, Graduation. When you return, it will be time to bring your best to finish the year strong.
Report cards will be available on Friday after Spring Break. 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.
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!

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!

Students, fire is not a toy—playing with or experimenting with fire is extremely dangerous and strictly prohibited. Fire should only be used under adult supervision and with permission.
Parents, please ensure that all fire-related items, such as matches and lighters, are stored securely and out of reach. Fire safety is everyone’s responsibility, and by following these guidelines, we can prevent accidents and keep our school and community safe.
Let’s work together to stay safe!
