Dear High School Student Families,

We are excited to start seeing students back on campus as fall sports practice and compete. We also have Freshman Orientation and schedule pick-up this week.

Freshman Orientation will be 5:30-7:00 on August 8. We will gather by the arch for our ceremonial entry into London High School. Parents this is an opportunity to capture some pictures of this moment. We are encouraging our Freshman students to bring a white t-shirt to tie-dye during the evening. Freshman will have an opportunity to meet with upperclassmen to ask questions about high school, sign the "I will Graduate" Class of 2028 banner, and see their schedules, lockers, and classrooms. For parents, we will have an overview of the Ohio Department of Education Graduation Requirements.

Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors will be able to pick up their schedules on Friday, August 9, 12:00-3:00.

If you want to take advantage of Ohio's Tax-Free Holiday July 30-August 8. There is a link to school supplies and the school handbook to assist with material purchasing.

If you are looking for things for your students to do over the last few weeks, students can be working on their community service hours. Clicking this link will give you information on local opportunities and the Community Service form. There are other opportunities listed in this update as well. All students are required to have 10 hours of Community Service for graduation. Also for the Class of 2025, there are scholarships available for you to apply. These scholarships can be found by clicking here or seeing others listed below. Many colleges have virtual tours if you can't visit one in person.

School fees are listed on the students' report cards. Some of these fees have accumulated since elementary school or include pay-to-participate. These can be paid online through PaySchools (there is a convenience fee) or checks can be sent to London High School. (These are printed on the grade cards that are mailed home and viewable by selecting "View Paper Report Card.") The amount posted is the accumulated amount from the last time fees have been paid.

We hope all have had an incredible summer! We look forward to seeing you soon!

Go Red Raiders!

Friday afternoon the message listed below was sent through Final Forms. London City Schools has a cell phone policy to meet the current expectations as shared in House Bill 250 by Governor DeWine. London High School will be monitoring, managing, and maintaining this policy closer this year. The school's practices regarding Electronic Communication Devices can be found on Page 16 and 17 of the Student Handbook. A link to the handbook can be found in this newsletter and on the school website.

Thank you for your assistance in helping us provide a stronger foundation in your students' learning environment at London High School. 

With the start of school just around the corner, London High School wanted to take a proactive approach in communicating with our community regarding recent legislation passed by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. House Bill 250 focuses on minimizing student use of cell phones in K-12 schools and the establishment of school cell phone policies. Students may receive school discipline for cell phone usage without prior written approval within a classroom setting at London High School. We will be informing our student body regarding our district cell phone policy at the start of the 2024-2025 school year. Please feel free to have conversations with your children regarding the reinforcement of our district cellphone policy. Furthermore, if you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.

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.

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”
