We are often asked how you, as parents/guardians, can support us here at school, which we greatly appreciate. One area we are asking for your unwavering support is with student cell phone/electronic device usage. Please know it is never our intent to take a personal device away from a student. We understand the important role it plays in communicating with your student and how helpful of a tool it can be within each family. However, the LOHS staff has the administration’s full support in holding students accountable regarding appropriate personal technology usage. This includes not having their devices out in class unless otherwise instructed. There will be times where a student can check his/her personal device, however, during instructional time is not one of those times.

Please note, should a student’s device be taken for inappropriate use, you may be contacted to come to school to collect the device. Should you need to contact your student, we politely ask that you call the main office, and we will be sure to communicate the message as quickly as possible.

Over the year, personal devices have become a disruption to the learning environment, therefore, your support in helping hold our students accountable to school expectations is much appreciated.

During instructional time, we are asking all students to please place their cellphones in the teacher provided caddies and/or be left in their backpacks. If cell phones remain powered on, they must be on silent and out of sight.

You already have a School Dismissal Manager account. Use your email address as username and the current password or use the "forgot password" option to set a new password.

IMPORTANT: Returning parents need to ensure their app has the latest UPDATED version before the first day of school. If your phone is set to update automatically no action is required but those that don’t will need to update manually. The App is available in the app store should you need to reinstall it.

Our tardy policy emphasizes the importance of punctuality and its role in student success. Arriving to class on time ensures that students are present for important instruction, minimizes disruptions to the learning environment, and fosters a sense of responsibility. Repeated tardiness can result in consequences such as detention or parent/student meeting with administration. By being on time, students develop habits that benefit them in school and future professional settings.

• LOHS drop off and pick up entrance for students is from Scripps Road only.
  
  
• The arrows indicate the direction of flow during student drop off and pick up.
  
  
• Green Arrows indicate drop off/pick up zone. Please pull forward as far as you can before having your student exit/enter the vehicle.
  
  
• DO NOT pull up to the main building.
  
  
• DO NOT use the Staff Lot or Bus Loop for picking up or dropping off students.
