Cavalier Caller
Week of August 15-19, 2022
We're ready for Tuesday and looking forward to seeing students on campus! For those of you who are new, I send this newsletter to families every weekend. It will also be posted on our website. Please take time to read it each week, as it includes activities for the week, important information/reminders, student celebrations and a section especially for our seniors.
On Tuesday and Wednesday there will be campus staff in the hallways before school and during passing periods to help students find their classrooms. There are also QR codes posted throughout the campus where students will find a map of the school. If a student would like to walk their schedule on Monday they may do so between 9:00-11:00 or 1:30-3:30. This is a teacher work day, so please don't disturb teachers as they are working in their classrooms.
As a reminder--9th grade students will receive their ID badges and Chromebooks during their English classes on Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on the day they have English.
Returning 10th-12th graders will receive their new ID badges during English classes as well on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please bring your Chromebooks on Tuesday.
With limited bus transportation this year, traffic will be heavy, so please drive safely, be on the lookout for students in parking lots and crossing streets and be patient. If you know anyone who'd like to drive a school bus, please have them contact our Transportation Department.
See you Tuesday!

Information/Reminders
Student Cell Phone Use: Educating students is our top priority and cell phones/personal devices have become a distraction in the classroom. So, the use of cell phones and/or personal mobile devices, including ear buds/headphones, will only be allowed for educational purposes in the classroom. If a student is not following classroom cell phone/personal mobile device procedures, parents/guardians will be contacted. If a student continuously refuses to follow the classroom cell phone/personal mobile device procedures, teachers will submit a discipline referral. At anytime that a student isn't following these procedures, the teacher can collect the cell phone, but will return it by the end of that class period. Cell phones will be allowed during the 9-minute passing period and during all lunches.
Additionally, the taking of photos and videos in restrooms is prohibited AND students may not take photos/videos of other students without their permission.
Coming Soon - a link to order your 2022-23 Yearbook.
Vending Machines have been removed from all LTISD campuses. Students wanting to purchase snacks may do so before school in the cafeteria or during lunch. Our DECA Mart and SkillsUSA School Store will open after Labor Day and at that time will also be open before school and during lunches.
Lunch: Unfortunately we are still not fully staffed in our cafeterias, so the Annex Cafeteria will not be open this year to serve meals to students. However, it will be open for students who bring their lunches or for those who want to buy their lunch in the Main Cafeteria and walk back to the Annex to eat it.
