SECOND TRIMESTER IS COMING TO A CLOSE
CLASSES WILL NOT BE IN SESSION AT LEBANON HIGH SCHOOL ON THURSDAY, MARCH 9th OR FRIDAY, MARCH 10th
As we move into February, we begin to set our sights on the end of the second trimester (winter term) and the second wave of final exams. ALL Lebanon High School students will be taking final examinations starting Monday, March 6ththrough Wednesday, March 8th. Just like we did in the fall, students will have a full day of school on each of the final exam testing days with minor adjustments to the schedule for these end-of-course assessments. The final exams represent 10% of the final grade (with 45% of the final grade coming from each of the two marking periods that make up the trimester) in every course at Lebanon High School.
In order to keep you posted on your child’s academic status, your child’s 3rd Marking Period Report Card was mailed home to you during the last week of January. If you did not receive this report card in the mail, please contact either our counseling department at 273-9391 (ext. 1505 or 1506) or me directly at ext. 1510 or via e-mail at wgiovino@lebanon.k12.pa.us to receive another copy.
