LnHS Update 12.1.23
Dear Lancaster High School Eagle Families
We can not believe that December is already here! December will be a busy month as students scramble to finish the semester with the best grade they can get while we have many special Holiday events planned for our students and community. Winter sports are off and running as Basketball, Soccer, and Wrestling have begun hot despite the weather cooling off! We look forward to a successful Winter sport run by each of the teams!
Eagles, you only have 3 weeks left to get those grades where you need them to be. Finish strong and put your best effort forward as the semester grade is what counts on your transcript! Good luck, Eagles!

At-School Live Tutoring
VIRTUAL *LIVE* Tutoring (Virtual Tutoring with a Live Person)
Did you know that your student has LIVE 24 HOUR FREE tutoring available in your student's PowerSchool? Our district has partnered with Princeton Review to provide every student with this amazing service. Your student can be connected with a tutor in any subject any time of the day, for FREE. These are not videos, they are live, vetted, tutors. Think of Uber, but for tutoring! The tutors will even edit papers for your student with less than a 24 hour turn-a-round period.
The easiest way to access this free, live, virtual tutoring, is to have your student log into google with their school account, log into Power School, look on the left side of the screen and find the live tutor button, and follow the easy to follow directions from there. If you need assistance, CLICK HERE or the button below for a tutorial.
