Dear LHS Families,

Thank you for your continued support and engagement in our school community!

Homecoming has concluded successfully, and we appreciate everyone who participated. Please mark your calendars for Picture Day on September 24. Additionally, we will have a 2-Hour Early Release on September 25; the bell schedule is included in this update.

Parent Teacher Conferences are scheduled for September 25 and October 2. Families of students with a D+ and below have been emailed a link to schedule conferences with their respective teachers. You can also use the Parent Teacher Conference image to arrange your meeting.

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 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!

Principal, London High School
Go Red Raiders!

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.

Riding the Bus with Kindness and Respect

At London City Schools, we believe kindness matters everywhere—including on the bus! A safe and positive bus environment makes the ride better for every student.

We encourage all students to:

• Respect Others – Use polite words and treat bus drivers, staff, and classmates with kindness.

• Follow the Driver’s Directions – Listening carefully helps keep everyone safe.

• Look Out for One Another – Offer a seat, lend a hand to younger riders, and show respect.

• Keep the Bus Clean – Dispose of trash properly and help take care of the bus.

• Report Concerns – If you see misconduct, let an adult know right away.

By working together, we can make every bus ride a positive experience for all. Thank you for supporting safe and respectful transportation in our district!

Sincerely,
London City Schools Transportation Department

London City Schools encourages parents, families, and caregivers to establish consistent routines, including regular bedtime and "rise and shine" times, as well as dedicated academic periods, regardless of their child's age. Let's work together to ensure they "Stay in the Game" for a successful educational journey!

For the safety and security of all students, please remember to have your proper identification ready when picking up your child from the school office. This ensures a quick and secure check-out process and helps us maintain a safe environment for everyone.

Here’s how you can help:
Bring a valid photo ID (driver’s license, state ID, or other government-issued ID).
Ensure you are listed as an approved pickup contact for your student.
Be patient as we verify information—safety is our top priority!

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our students safe!

Welcome back to a new school year! We’re excited to partner with you for a safe, healthy, and successful year ahead. Please review the important reminders below.

Stay Connected:

Phone number changes: If your number changes, update Final Forms/ProgressBook and inform your student’s teacher (elementary) so we can reach you in an emergency.

Health & Safety: Vision & hearing screenings: Screenings will take place throughout the year. If you do not want your student tested, please contact your student’s school clinic. 

LHS Clinic: Nikki Moore — 740-852-5700 ext. 4055 

LMS Clinic: Monica Sorrell — 740-852-5700 ext. 3073

LES/LPS Clinic: Elizabeth Kennell — 740-852-5700 ext. 1067

• Kindergarten physicals & immunizations: Letters are being sent to families missing required documentation. If you have an upcoming appointment or need an exemption form, let us know.

• 7th & 12th grade immunizations: Students missing a required vaccine will receive a letter. If you already have an exemption form, please send it in—or tell us if you need a new form for your student’s doctor.

• Allergies & special diets: If your student needs a special diet or has a food allergy, please inform us so we can notify the cafeteria (form required).

• Medical concerns: Most importantly, share any medical needs or concerns so we can care for your student appropriately.

Daily Prep: Extra change of clothes: Please send an extra set of clothing to keep in your student’s locker or backpack. This helps us handle spills, accidents, or playground mishaps without interrupting your day.

Upcoming Event: Mobile Dentist—November: The Mobile Dentist will visit our school in November. Consent forms will go home the first week of October—please watch for them.

Thank you for your partnership and prompt attention to these items. Here’s to a great year!
