PRINCIPAL'S NOTE

Dear LPHS Families,

Christmas break is coming, but these last two weeks are important for our exceptional LPHS students.  This is our last week of regular instruction.  Many of your students will be wrapping up course content and beginning to think about study guides and finals.  Our Summative Exam Schedule the following week is available to look over.  It is important to note that the schedule consists of unique hours.  Finals will run in the mornings, while the afternoons will consist of academic support time, review time, and make-up finals as needed. If anyone has to miss a portion of the finals week, we will also have a finals makeup time on Jan. 5th. 

We would also like to extend a HUGE thank you to LPHS parents for providing a spectacular cookie exchange and hot cocoa bar for our staff last Friday. The beautiful array and delicious variety of treats were jaw-dropping, and our staff thoroughly enjoyed every morsel. Thank you for going out of your way to bring us a huge dose of holiday cheer!

- Principal Jeff Zick
