Seniors-
Tomorrow is Tassel Hassle for our seniors. They will meet in the theater at 8:30 AM. We will sort them alphabetically, give them all details about graduation day and practice, and distribute their caps & gowns. This meeting takes a couple of hours.
As a reminder, seniors must have NOTHING owed to the school in order to receive their cap & gown packages. Most common items include the following:

  • Senior Fee
  • Chromebook
  • Chromebook charger
  • Textbook or Library book
  • Uniforms (or uniform pieces) to athletic coaches or JROTC program
  • AP exam fees
  • Debt to the cafeteria

Your child can check in the library if they are unsure about items they owe to the school. They can check in the guidance office if they are unsure about any upaid fees/debt.

After our Tassel Hassle, seniors will participate in their last Movin' Up Pep Rally. Then they will exit the school building to the athletic complex for their senior field day. They should bring a change of clothes for field day along with money if they plan to purchase food from food trucks.

Seniors will leave campus once field day is over. They do not have to remain on campus until 3:30 unless they need to ride a bus.

Thank you for your time!

JUNIORS-Painted parking spots for next year's seniors will go on sale tomorrow during FOCUS. These spots are $50 and serve as a fundraiser for the Class of 2026. Students may pick up a packet from the bank with all of the details and requirements. You will keep this throughout the summer so that you know how to prepare for your parking spot. 
A parking application is also availalbe at the bank (blue form). This is what must be turned in, along with the $50, in order to receive your parking tag tomorrow. All documentation must be provided:  complete application, proof of insurance, driver's license, $50.

Students will be assigned their parking spot number along with their hanging tag for the 25-26 school year. Sale begins at 8:30 AM. We will continue to sell them during lunch the rest of the week; however, "first come" opportunity is at 8:30 tomorrow morning. Credit/debit cards, checks, cash are all accepted.

Current painted spots will be removed for students over the summer. They will have a "blank slate" to paint

SENIORS-All seniors must turn in EVERYTHING that they owe to LHS before they are able to get their cap and gown package on Thursday during Tassel Hassle.

This includes chromebooks, chargers, textbooks, uniforms, etc.
This ALSO includes any outstanding fees such as previous years' AP exam fees. 
If items are still outstanding on Thursday, then the damage or replacement fees must be paid on this date in order to receive your CAP & GOWN.

Thursday will go much more smoothly and quickly if you can help make sure it is ALL taken care of by then.

I will TRY to send out a more specific message to those that still owe something before Thursday. But until then...double check with your senior to find out if you owe something to the school tonight.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!
