SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER
LES BOIS JR. HIGH SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER
LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Hello Les Bois Families!
It is September and we have had a great start to the school year. Classes are in session, students are learning, fall sports are in full swing, clubs are meeting and the outpost is in business.
Next week, September 9-13, is Suicide Prevention Week. As stated in the letter sent out by our district administrators last week, we will be teaching students about mental health and how to seek help if they are worried about their own or a friend's mental health. This ties into our Blazer BOLD Values. The “O” stands for One Community, be kind, be compassionate and use teamwork to help one another.
INFINITE CAMPUS
If you haven’t already done so, download the Infinite Campus App for real-time access to attendance, grades, schedules and more. See the link for instructions. Infinite Campus App
Parents if you need help logging into Infinite Campus, email alma.ritter@boiseschools.org for assistance.
ATTENDANCE
Students are only allowed to miss 9 days of school in each class each semester. This is less than two days per month. Regular attendance is an important tool for lifelong work habits and success! See the flier for more information on the importance of attendance.
Once students arrive at school, they must remain at school unless they have a permit to leave (PTL). To arrange for your student to have a PTL, call 208.854.5340 at least one hour before you will be here to pick them up. If your student is absent, please call or email dolores.larrick@boiseschools.org.

LBJH FEMININE HYGIENE PRODUCT DRIVE
Parents, we need your help!
We are organizing a parent-led feminine hygiene product drive. Feminine hygiene products are not supplied by the district, and our health office could use extra supplies. Goods donated will go to the nurse to supply our students with needed products each month.
This is an ongoing need, and we are hoping to build a supply to last through the end of the year and hopefully beyond.
To help, please click on the link: LBJH Amazon Wish List to view and purchase items. All items will go directly to Les Bois and will be given to the nurse. If you would like to drop off products, you may do so by leaving them at the front office.
Please let us know if you have any questions and thank you for supporting our school.
Sincerely,
LBJH PTO
