Principal’s Note

Dear LPHS Families, 

The first week is in the books.  It was great to see the building full of students once again.  Our second week features Back to School Night.  We will be welcoming parents into our building Wednesday night for a chance to meet with each of their student's teachers.  During the event, we will also be sharing some of the best ways to get connected with LPHS. This is a great opportunity for parents to get to know our school.  

We appreciate any feedback on the parent newsletter.  Feel free to email tackerman@lewispalmer.org or jzick@lewispalmer.org with suggestions.

Jeffrey Zick, LPHS Principal

Block Calendar Explained

You've hopefully heard that our block calendar had a makeover! To help you remember what periods to attend each day, follow this guide:

MONDAYS and WEDNESDAYS are always ORANGE.

TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS are always BLACK.

FRIDAYS are temporarily set to roughly alternate each week to even things out, but snow days may alter them. All other days will always stay the same. Expect to have two orange days or two black days in a row frequently.
