Principal Message

Dear LHS Families,

We have had a good transition from summer to school. Our students have come back ready and prepared for the year ahead. We look forward to what is to come for the year.

We are finalizing the balancing of some schedules. We will conduct grade-level meetings this week. All sports are in season. If you are a parent drop-off, please help the flow of the line by either dropping students off by the curb or at the circle by the tennis courts.

If you haven't done so, please complete take a few moments to log into FinalForms and complete or update your student’s information. This process ensures we have accurate emergency contacts, medical details, and activity participation forms on file for the year. We also ask that you take a few minutes to complete our 2025–2026 Planning Survey, which helps us better understand how we can support your student and family throughout the year. Your input is valued and important to our continuous improvement.

Here’s to a great week!

Welcome Back from the Transportation Department! 

Dear London Families,

Welcome to a brand new school year! The Transportation Department is excited to see our students back on board as we begin another safe and successful year of learning.

Here are a few important reminders to help ensure a smooth ride for everyone:

Be Ready – Please have your child at the bus stop 5 minutes early and ready to go.
Be Safe – Remind students to stay back from the curb, wait for the bus to stop completely, and always follow the driver’s instructions including crossing safely.
Know Your Stop – Make sure your child knows their bus number and stop location.
Drive Carefully – Watch for stopped buses and flashing red lights—students may be crossing!

Our drivers and staff are committed to getting students to and from school safely every day. If you have any questions or need assistance with transportation, we’re here to help!

Sincerely,
London City Schools Transportation Department

Stay In the Game

London City Schools places a strong emphasis on regular attendance, as absences can accumulate quietly over time. Missing just two days per month throughout a nine-month school year can lead to chronic absenteeism. We remind all students to “Stay in the Game”
