Lake Fenton High School

Hello Lake Fenton Families,

I hope you take a few minutes to watch the video above to see how school will look and feel different this year at the high school. This newsletter is also packed full of important information. Please bookmark this as you may want to reference it throughout the next week as we plan for our blended return.

I am as giddy as many of you are about returning to school on Monday after such a long time of empty hallways. This is big! I cannot wait to see you all and have all our students engaged in learning either at home or in our classrooms.

Have a wonderful weekend LFHS and we will see you soon.

Proud to BE BLUE!

• Students will have NO LOCKERS and must carry their backpack to each class.
• Student need to bring water bottles (water only) to school as water fountains are shut off.
• Lunch will be eaten in your 4th hour class. Students will remain at desks, six feet socially distanced, but may take masks off for eating. Masks must be worn at all other times in the building.
• Students are encouraged to request bathroom passes during class so bathrooms are not congested in between classes.
• All hallway traffic must stay to the right -- students may not congregate in hallways.
• The main stairway is one-way traffic -- A wing is UP and B wing is DOWN.
• All desks will be cleaned every class period by teachers to allow for the next group of students to sit at desks safely.

We need your help in collecting our missing textbooks/library books to start off the school year. We are STILL MISSING MANY TEXTBOOKS! Students can bring these to school with them next week so that we can inventory them for the next class. All other textbooks will be distributed in the upcoming weeks.

Good attendance helps children do well in school and eventually in the workplace. Good attendance matters for school success, starting as early as prekindergarten and throughout elementary school. By middle and high school poor attendance is a leading indicator of dropout. Developing the habit of attendance prepares students for success on the job and in life. It is critical that our HS students begin to prepare for daily attendence even when they are learning remotely from home. Each teacher will be taking hourly attendance throughout both our remote and blended learning approaches!

We still have many families that have not completed our electronic registration for the start of school. This is required of all students. If you have NOT REGISTERED by September 25th, all student access will be shut off. Please make every effort to complete yours today!
