All visitors must first report to the main office and comply with all applicable district policies and procedures. This is to ensure the safety of those within the school and to avoid disruption of instructional time. All visitors are expected to demonstrate the highest standards of courtesy and conduct. Disruptive behavior will not be permitted.
Arrival Procedure
LHS will open at 8:00 am. Only the main front entrance and back courtyard entrance will be unlocked at this time; all other exterior doors will remain locked throughout the school day. The courtyard doors will promptly be locked at 8:40 am, however, the main front entrance will continue to be monitored for students, parents and visitors throughout the day.
Certain areas of the school will be accessible to students before 8:00 am for specific purposes only. If students are participating in activities outside the normal school day (athletics, band, tutorials, retesting), entrance to the building must be supervised by a staff member. Students must check with their teacher, coach and/or sponsor ahead of time to determine what supervised door to enter through in the morning. Any student arriving late to these activities will be asked to enter the campus using the main front entrance or back courtyard entrance at 8:00 am.
Students are required to remain in the area where their activity is scheduled to take place. Unless the teacher, coach and/or sponsor overseeing the morning activity gives permission, a student will not be permitted to go to another area of the building or campus.
Students who are not participating in activities outside the normal school day (athletics, band, tutorials, retesting) will remain in the cafeteria until dismissed at 8:35 am.
Closed Campus
LHS is a closed campus. Students are not permitted off campus at any time unless a parent/guardian provides a written letter or email request to the attendance office in advance. Attendance personnel will verify all written parent requests, and students will then be called to the attendance office to sign out. Violations of this expectation will be subject to truancy and/or other disciplinary consequences.
Lunch Procedures
Students may not eat in the restrooms, locker rooms, hallways, classrooms or their vehicles. LHS will only accept lunch deliveries from parents and food delivery services between 10:45 am - 12:30 pm. Lunch items must be dropped off in the main front entrance, using the security pass-through shelves. Students will only be able to collect their lunch during their lunch period, by visiting the foyer and collecting their lunch from the designated area. Students will not be able to pick up food deliveries at any other time or location other than the approved time window.
School staff are not responsible for misplaced or stolen lunches. Lunch deliveries that arrive late, will not extend the lunch period for any student. Food delivery service employees will not be permitted to enter the building for any reason. Any issues that arise from the delivery will not be the responsibility of the school.
Dismissal Procedures
Students will be dismissed from school at 4:20 pm by their classroom teacher. Unless students are attending tutorials, retest and/or participating in a supervised after school activity, students must leave the campus immediately. Once students leave the building, they will not be allowed to reenter the building without permission from a school administrator.

If students, parents, volunteers and/or visitors are participating or observing activities outside the normal school day (performances, events, practices, etc.), entrance to the building must be supervised by a teacher, coach, advisor, sponsor and/or a designated LHS staff member. These designated staff members will communicate to students, parents, volunteers and visitors regarding the (1) purpose of the event, (2) start/end times, (3) event location and (4) entrance/exit door location.
