Dear LHS Families,

It's interim week, which means we are at the halfway point of the quarter. Please continue to help your student to do their work and complete assignments by the time they are due. Juniors and Seniors are invited to participate in a program known as Think Fast. Think Fast is a game show-type program to assist with sharing safety tips. There is an opportunity to win prizes. We hope all Juniors and Seniors will make themselves available to participate in this program. We also have a Senior Parent Meeting on Wednesday to review items for Senior year.

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

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 is dedicated to promoting excellent attendance for your students. If you encounter challenges in getting your student to school due to transportation, child-care, or health issues, please don't hesitate to reach out. Our community offers resources that can provide assistance and support in such situations.

Safety Tips for Drivers:

• Phones Down—It’s the Law: Avoid distractions by keeping your phone down while driving. In Ohio, you can be pulled over for distracted driving.

• Slow Down: Visibility is lower in the early morning and evening hours. Reduce your speed to spot pedestrians more easily.

• Yield to Pedestrians: Always yield to people walking at intersections and crosswalks, whether they are marked or unmarked.

• Don’t Pass Stopped Vehicles at Crosswalks: If a vehicle is stopped at a crosswalk, they may be yielding to a pedestrian. Don’t pass them.

• Look for Pedestrians When Turning: Always check for people walking before making a turn. 

Stay alert and prioritize safety on the road!

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

• 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!
