LWSH Family Updates and Events

July / August 2024

Transform Yourself. Transform Your Community.

Our School's Mission

In partnership with the MetroHealth System, is to prepare students for college and careers in the healthcare industry through a dynamic and interactive education environment that engages students in modern, science, health, and medicine through relevant workplace and community experiences

Our School's Why

The healthcare industry lacks diversity and that's a problem. Diversity in healthcare goes far beyond a language barrier. It's about understanding the mindset of a patient within a larger context of culture, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, and socioeconomic realities. Our students are the best people equipped to serve their community in this capacity.

Dear LWSH Families and Caregivers,

Greetings LWSH Families, Caregivers, and Scholars,

I hope all of you are enjoying the summer and long overdue great weather we have been having! I'm excited for a new school year and can't wait to welcome our incoming freshmen into the LWSH family! All freshmen are expected to arrive for their first day of school on Monday, July 29th starting at 8:00am before all other LWSH scholars. This will give our freshmen time to get oriented to the building and their classrooms with little to no distractions, while making new friends and acclimating to a new environment. All other LWSH scholars will begin the year on Tuesday, August July 30th We ask that our freshmen families be sure you and your scholar attend our Annual Freshman Orientation on Thursday, July 25th from 2pm - 3:30pm to learn more about the school and programming. More information can be found in our calendar events in our newsletter.

We would like to take the time to remind ALL families that every LWSH scholar MUST have received both COVID vaccinations (boosters are not required); a yearly flu vaccination; and negative TB test. These requirements are essential in maintaining a healthy partnership with MetroHealth to continue interacting with medical staff; exploring the various departments within MetroHealth; and interacting with patients and their families. We aim to keep ourselves and the staff and patients at MetroHealth safe so that they can continue to provide the most optimal medical care to the patients they serve. To provide evidence in advance, please use this form to upload pictures of the required documents for our records.

Last, but certainly not least, we would like to communicate the New Cell Phone Policy that is in place both state and district-wide that you and your scholar should be aware of as we kick off a new school year. The District is committed to providing a safe, positive and productive learning environment for its students. The District recognizes that personal cell phones and electronic devices can be a source of disruption in the learning environment. Although families may choose, at their own discretion and risk, to send a personal cell phone or similar electronic device to school with their student, the access to and use of the cell phone or electronic device will be governed by this policy. Students who choose to bring a personal cell phone or electronic device to school will have their cell phone subject to collection and storage during the school day. Any student who fails to follow their school's cell phone collection and storage policy may be subjected to disciplinary action that may include administration keeping the device until a parent picks it up and / or collection of the device for the remainder of the school year. More details about the District's policy is forthcoming, and we plan to keep you regularly informed so that you can make the best decisions for you and your child.

Please be on the lookout for upcoming IVRs via email and phone, so that you can receive the most up-to-date information for the start of the new year. As always, we appreciate your collaboration and involvement because it takes a village to raise a child, and we are happy that you chose our school community to be a part of that village! For questions or more information, contact the school at 216-838-7100.

Sincerely,
Juliet King
Your Proud LWSH Principal
