Good afternoon families!

We hope you will come out and support our students Thursday, Friday, or Saturday for their performance of 9 to 5. The ticket link can be found in the image for the event.

As the calendar turns to March, there are two more weeks in the quarter. 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 earning credit at the end of the semester.

Students entered their requests last week. 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.

As we continue with the school year, we emphasize the significance of punctuality to optimize learning time. Please take note of the school start times:

-London Elementary School: 9:00 am
-London Middle School: 7:25 am
-London High School: 7:20 am

Prompt arrival not only maximizes instructional time but also instills a sense of responsibility in our students. We appreciate your cooperation in reinforcing the importance of being on time. For any questions or concerns, feel free to contact the respective school offices.

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.
