Mr. Dutcher, Mrs. Hutchcraft, Mrs. Rupert, and myself will go over a few key items to help your child be successful at LHS. The LHS Open House will be from 6:00-7:00 p.m. tonight. It is a very relaxed atmosphere where you and your child can walk the hallways and meet all our teachers. If you do not know your child's schedule, please make sure you log into PowerSchool so you can access the schedule because we will not have hard copies of schedules to pass out. Attention all 9th grade parents/students: Tonight you can pick up your Chromebook, case, and charger in the library from 6:00-7:00 during open house. YOU HAVE TO COMPLETE THE AUP FORM ON POWERSCHOOL IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE CHROMEBOOK SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE REGISTERED YOUR CHILD ON POWERSCHOOL BEFORE ATTENDING TONIGHT'S OPEN HOUSE.
