LHSW Parent/Legal Guardian and Student Weekly Update
Smiles All Around
Lockport High School West defines positive expectations like respect, responsibility, preparedness, participation and kindness and teaches students to use these skills to help create a positive environment and culture in our school.
All students earn "points" each period for displaying these behaviors. Some students reach a 'gold' level and are eligible for the monthly incentive. This month, the incentive was breakfast at the Sugar Shack! Smiles all around!
Irish Heritage Performance
On Monday March 25, 2024, all LHSW students will be attending a performance to celebrate Irish Heritage Month. LHSW students will be bused to the 10:00-10:45 am performance at Aaron Mossell Junior High School.
All LHSW students were provided an opt out slip that you would return only of the student will NOT be attending the field trip.

Niagara County Provides Solar Eclipse Information
Niagara County Director of Emergency Services Jonathan Schultz today released a Powerpoint Presentation for local residents that provides a significant amount of information on the upcoming solar eclipse. The eclipse will happen on Monday, April 8th and it expected to draw a significant amount of visitors to our region beginning the week before.
“Niagara County is expected to have one of the best views of the solar eclipsed anywhere and that is drawing visitors to our community beyond what we might even see at the height of tourism season,” said Schultz. “While certainly that is great for our economy, there are potentially public safety issues, traffic issues and so on that we must prepare for.”
Schultz has put together a presentation on the latest information that can be found by clicking here.
Destination Niagara, the county’s lead tourism promotion agency, also has a section on its website for the solar eclipse, including special events being held the weekend leading up to the eclipse. Click here for more information: https://www.niagarafallsusa.com/2024-solar-eclipse/
