LCHS News

Our LCUSD family and community have expressed needs for support and wanted to offer support. To assist in that effort, we've built a webpage with resources for families and staff affected by the fires as well as a landing page to see how you can help.

The Aeries grading portal will closed on December 17th before the first final exam and will reopen for grade viewing in the window January 7-10. Students may discuss any semester 1 grade concerns with their teachers during those dates of the 7th-10th. Teachers will submit their Semester 1 grades by the close of business on Tuesday, January 14, 2025. Report Cards will be mailed home to families on Friday, January 17, 2025. The grading portal will close for all grade viewing at the end of the day on Friday, January 10. The semester two grading portal will open for viewing on Monday, January 27 and will remain open across the semester.

Spartans, thank you for taking your learning seriously! Over the course of the first semester, LCHS students have shown improvement arriving to class on time and ready to learn, and our numbers of students tardy to class have decreased. But we're still committed to having every student being in class on time.

Starting in Semester 2, LCHS will be piloting a new feature in Aeries, alerting parents when students are marked tardy to class. Similar to the phone call alerts generated when students are absent, parents will now get one phone call noting the period(s) when the student was tardy.

Why send these alerts? These calls support LCHS's class attendance policy. Awareness is our goal: as we partner with LCHS families, we're committed to ensuring that students are safe, supervised, and dedicated to showing up and doing their best in class.

We invite you to take a few moments to complete the 2024-25 LCAP Survey and share your thoughts on how we are progressing in each goal area. The survey is open until Sunday, January 19, 2025

Please check your email for a link to take the survey.

A reminder from Assistant Principal Tobin that all students must attend at least 50% of the school day in order to participate in any activities after school.

We have a lot of games this month. Check out the athletics calendar, and be sure to come cheer on the Spartans!
