Together We Prowl

Parents/Guardians: On September 5, you will receive an email with a link included regarding a survey about your child. We ask that each family complete one survey for each child. This survey asks for you to give us some information about your child that you'd like to share with teachers and school personnel. Tell us about your child, including goals you have for your child this school year and long-term. This information will be shared with your child's teachers, counselors, and administrators so we can better work together to make it a positive school year.

If you do not receive this email, or need to receive the survey in a different format, please contact Jenny McMillen at 859-261-8210 or Jennifer.McMillen@ludlow.kyschools.us.

Happy Homecoming! Homecoming is September 15th. During the week leading up to Homecoming, we will celebrate with various spirit dress-up days.

Monday: America Day -- Dress up in your red, white, and blue

Tuesday: Pajama Day -- Come to school in your jammies and slippers

Wednesday: Country Western vs Country Club Day -- It's a showdown!

Thursday: Mathlete or Athlete -- Pick one, or even better, be both!

Friday: Crazy Red & Black Day -- Show your best Panther Pride!

The Homecoming Parade starts at 6:00 PM.

Float Theme: Game Shows!

The LHS Panthers take on the Newport Wildcats at 7:00PM.

The crowning of the queen and announcement of the winning float takes place at halftime.

After the game, all students in Grades 9-12 are invited to the Homecoming After Party on the practice field.

September is Suicide Prevention Month. Schools in Kentucky are required to discuss suicide prevention and provide the hotline information to students in Grades 6-12; our counselors will be providing this information to our students.

Recognizing when people in our lives are struggling with emotional pain and helping them feel comfortable to talk about it can help prevent mental health crises, including suicide. Learning the warning signs, knowing how to start a conversation, and knowing where to get professional help can make a powerful, life-changing difference.

Parents/Guardians: In addition to our school counselors, we partner with MEBS for therapists on site each day. You can also always access Care Solace, which can help you navigate the mental healthcare system to seek treatment. https://caresolace.com/site/ludlow

Parents/Guardians, do you need assistance with your Infinite Campus account? The parent portal/mobile app is extremely helpful, especially for those with 4th-12th grade students.
