The importance of teachers. Consider that teachers often spend more time with their students than the parents of the students. The teacher's importance in the lives of their students is often underestimated. The teacher serves as bringer of academic information, an encourager, a counselor, a role model, an example for cognitive growth, a cheerleader, a liaison, and sometimes even a surrogate parent. Thank you teachers for your dedication!
Brian Friess, LHS Health & PE teacher, has been selected as the Ray & Evelyn Lippelman Outstanding Teacher for 2020! Thank you for your 31 years of service to LHS and congratulations on your recognition!
Have you thanked your teacher? Honor a teacher during Teacher Appreciation Week by sending them a note or email thanking them. They are missing their students and can't wait to see them in person again.
Besides parents, teachers have more influence on a person's development than anyone else! What teachers influenced you most? Thank them this week.

Expectations of Students through the end of the year
ATTENDANCE
Students and parents are reminded that although the delivery of education has changed, the expectations of learning and attendance have not changed. Students are still required to attend their class meetings, and if they cannot, a parent or at least the student needs to contact the teacher to let him/her know. Schools are still required by law to report students who are absent without excuse as truant.
GRADES
The plan for the last quarter of the 19-20 school year is called the Continuous Learning Plan. It has always been the expectation that learning will continue despite not being in the school buildings. Grades are still being input into the grade books. Grades will still be issued. Students and parents should not assume that the student work done in the final quarter will not count.
FINISH STRONG!
Students are encouraged to finish strong. Students who work hard and finish strong will not have to worry about others making difficult decisions about whether their final grade is passing and failing.
Robbie Stansbury has been selected as a 2020 Kansas Governor's Scholar. The Governor's Scholars program recognizes the top 1% of high school seniors across the state. Congratulations Robbie!
