We had a great start to the school year last week! Our staff enjoyed seeing all of our returning students as well as meeting our new students to LA/LHHS. On the first day of school, students and staff participated in team building activities as a way to get to know each other and build positive relationships.

Last Thursday during advisory, the LA/LHHS staff reviewed school emergency procedures with students so they will know what to do in an emergency situations.

Lockdown / Evacuation Drill:

This Monday, we will have a Lockdown / Evacuation Drill. Prior to the drill, an announcement will be made with lockdown and evacuation procedures.

We will conduct at least one drill every month throughout the year to practice all types of emergencies.

Parents and guardians are automatically already set up to receive emergency alerts from the Stanwood-Camano School District via email, text, and phone call.

Now, students can scan (or click on) this QR code to complete a quick form to opt-in to receive the same emergency alerts on your phone.

On Monday, Lincoln Academy and Lincoln Hill High School will have an Open House from 6:00 - 7:30 PM. This is the same day as Stanwood High School's Open House that is from 6:30 - 8:00 PM. Students that have classes at both LHHS and SHS will be able to attend both Open Houses on Monday. We hope to see you Monday at 6:00 PM.
