LHS Commencement News London High School is pleased to announce that the number of tickets granted to graduating seniors will increase from five tickets to ten tickets for the 2021 Commencement at Bowlus Field. This was made possible by the CDC’s release that fully vaccinated people pose very little risk of contracting or transmitting COVID-19 in outdoor settings. Because London City Schools cannot guarantee all of those attending would be fully vaccinated, masks will still be mandatory while on LHS campus. The ten ticket limit will not increase for any reasons as this will push maximum capacity, with distancing between families, during the ceremony. Unused tickets from one family will not be able to be given to other families as each family will have a ten ticket section to sit. LHS Commencement will take place on May 28, 2021 at Bowlus Field behind London High School. The ceremony will begin at 7:00 pm. It is recommended that families arrive together, ahead of the beginning of Commencement. A seating chart where families will sit will be created after students have determined if they are participating in the ceremony, sometime in mid-May.

London High School is happy to announce that this year's Junior/Senior Prom will be able to expand to include guests for our students who may have recently graduated or attend other schools. As district administrators looked at the weather for Prom next week, which will be outside this year at the Governor's request, we believe conditions will be favorable enough to allow guests and we are confident that if we are forced inside we will be able to have a safe environment for our students, guests, and chaperones. We look forward to a great event. Ticket sales will continue into next week to accommodate any new students who will attend.

Below is an announcement for Senior's and their Parents regarding graduation plans. These can also be found on the LHS Webpage under "Senior Week". https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qiF_-7CgqZd6W5PPmL9uQTuJovI6S0N5/view?usp=sharing

When LHS begins the second semester of the 2020/2021 School Year, we will do so in a hybrid model as was completed during the first quarter of the school year. RED cohort students (A-K) will report on Mondays and Thursdays while WHITE cohort students (L-Z) will report on Tuesdays and Fridays. All students will meet virtually on Wednesdays. The second semester will begin on Tuesday, January 5, 2021 with the WHITE cohort, Wednesday, January 6th will be a virtual day, and Thursday, January 7th the RED cohort will meet. Have a safe and Happy New Year.

And, like clockwork, Google is back up within minutes of an alert being sent to everyone. With this, we should be able to have full access to all exam materials today. As a reminder, periods 1 and 2 will take their exams today; periods 3 and 4 on Tuesday; periods 5 and 6 on Wednesday; periods 7 and 8 on Thursday; and Friday will continue to be a make-up day in case something like an internet failure occurs. Thank you for your patience. Good luck to all of our students this week.

Google Classroom, Drive, and email is down, however, students will still be able to log into Performance Matters to take their exams this morning. Hopefully this issue can be resolved shortly. If there is an issue with taking an exam, contact the teacher and when email capabilities are back they will reach out and explain when to take the test. We apologize for the delay.
