Getting There On Time!

Prior to the end of the 1st semester, the LHS administration visited each of the buildings English classrooms to discuss a change in the building tardy policy. Students are now receiving a consequence for every 4th tardy to a class, while also having to avoid the random hall sweeps. As was explained to the students, being caught in a random hall sweep results in an automatic detention. After a couple weeks of the new semester the perception from staff is that the policy is working. There has been a noticable decrease in the number of students in the hallways after the bell, as well as a number of students "hustling" to make it on time. In fact, the most recent hall sweep only caught 12 students in the hall way after the bell. This is pretty impressive when you consider the building enrollment of roughly 1600 students! Kudos to the students of LHS!!!
