3. Picture Day (LHS UPDATE)
LHS: Students who attend the Virtual Academy but whose home school is LHS can come to LHS at any time during the school day (8:00-2:45) on October 7 or 8 to have school portraits taken. Please advise the front office staff that you are a student at the Virtual Academy here to take your school portrait. Information to order is included in the picture.
4. Be Present
Close those extra tabs and give your full attention during the lesson. There’s nothing worse than seeing students obviously multitasking on the other side of the screen. Be present, engaged, and show you're really listening—it’ll help you understand your material and assignments.
