WELCOME TO THE 2021-2022 SCHOOL YEAR!
Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year!
As we prepare to enter into the 2021-2022 school year, let’s continue to work together and set the example for your children - our students - by continuing to embrace and demonstrate the following qualities that have assured that “specialness” that is “L-H”:
Embrace a positive/growth mindset
Take care of each other ( students, teachers, parents, and principal all invested to show empathy and take care of each other)...because navigating a global pandemic is hard enough.
Engage as a community - regularly, with transparency and sincerity
Support for our teachers and staff who are making it happen by celebrating them and taking time to let them know you see their efforts. In the same respect, teachers and principal supporting and celebrating the achievements and efforts of our students and parents.
Look at this year as a homecoming - our school community is back together again - first time really since March 13th, 2020. A homecoming is a celebration - so welcome your fellow parents, say hi, ask “How are you?,” remind your children to do the same for their classmates, in the same respect.
Who says you can’t go home? WELCOME HOME, L-H PRIDE!
