Due to the staffing issue precipitated by the positive Covid cases and quarantines (and lack of subs to absorb the absences), LHS must go remote for Thursday and Friday, May 5th and 6th, 2022.

All scholars who still need to take the state tests should still report to school tomorrow and Friday to complete testing. All other scholars will be on remote learning tomorrow and report to classes virtually at class times.

All scholars who report to test tomorrow, will have transportation provided at normal pick up and drop off times. If parents wish to allows scholars to leave after testing, parents must contact the school to give us permission to release your scholar.
Thank you and have a good evening!

Spanish Translation:

Buenas tardes a todos -
Debido al problema de personal precipitado por los casos positivos de Covid y las cuarentenas (y la falta de suplentes para absorber las ausencias), LHS debe volverse remoto para el jueves y viernes 5 y 6 de mayo de 2022.

Todos los estudiantes que aún necesitan tomar las pruebas estatales deben presentarse en la escuela mañana y el viernes para completar las pruebas. Todos los demás estudiantes estarán en aprendizaje remoto mañana y se reportarán a las clases virtualmente en los horarios de clase.

A todos los estudiantes que se presenten para el examen mañana se les proporcionará transporte en los horarios normales de recogida y entrega. Si los padres desean permitir que los estudiantes se vayan después de la prueba, los padres deben comunicarse con la escuela para darnos permiso para dejar salir a su estudiante.

¡Gracias y que tenga una buena noche!
