Grade Z Coming Soon
LHS will be piloting a new mark in our gradebooks during the fourth quarter. The grade mark “Z” will appear on the Home Access Center (HAC) for assignments and assessments. Teachers shall use Z grades as necessary for placeholders for missing assignments or assessments. The Z grades will calculate into a student’s grade as a zero immediately and until the student has earned a grade for the assignment or assessment. This will provide students and parents with an accurate reflection of their overall grade throughout the marking period.
It's Time to Shine!

Fast Food Policy
Reminder- LHS strongly encourage students to either bring a lunch to school or to purchase one from our cafeteria. We prefer parents not bring lunches to students during the school day. Also, it is not appropriate to have a birthday celebration during the school day. Group pizza, balloons, cakes, for example, should be provided to celebrate or recognize a student after the school day. Our office is a very busy place and is simply not staffed to accommodate parents routinely requesting deliveries to students. If you choose to bring food to your student during one lunch there is a possibility that it will not be delivered.
