First days of school can bring on some "First Day" jitters. So, to help with that, we were lucky to have project paws join us during lunches on Tuesday. On Thursday, the students were excited to welcome Elway, the duck, too!
A special thanks to the Tim Buckley Project for making this happen!

We came across this information during the summer and thought it would be great to share with our school community. If you want your child to be successful at school then, YES, attendance does matter! 

​If you think that 1 or 2 days a week doesn't seem like much but...

BE ON TIME! Students are expected to be in their classrooms by 7:40 ready to learn. The front doors lock at 7:39. If a student is arriving late to school, they are to sign in at the main office to receive a pass to go to their first period class.   Please review page 17 of the handbook for further clarification.

Dress Code: Contrary to what your students may tell you, we do have a dress code at LOLHS. We take great pride in the appearance of our students and believe that student attire reflects upon the quality of our school. In an effort to create a positive learning environment, students are expected to come to school dressed in an appropriate manner.  Below are the expectations  found on  pages 26.

• Clothing must NOT be inappropriately revealing, over-sized, or immodestly undersized (e.g. halter-tops, off the shoulder or low-cut tops, spaghetti straps, bare midriffs, short shorts and extremely short skirts – recommended fingertip length).
• Clothing must conceal undergarments at all times. Clothing or accessories that advertise or display tobacco, alcohol, drugs, obscene language, inappropriate slogans or images will not be permitted.
• Attire that promotes violence, racism, harassment, discrimination, or bigotry will not be allowed in school or at school functions.
• Students may not wear sunglasses in school.
• Headphones, ear buds or any other electronic devices may not be worn or utilized as an accessory during the school day, except during lunch or study hall.
• Head coverings, including but not limited to hats, bandannas, hoods, etc. may not be worn inside school buildings upon arrival until dismissal, unless for documented medical reasons. In other words, take of your hats upon entering the building.
