Administrative Message


Hello Barons! 
 
Welcome to the month of November.   It is hard to believe that we are already halfway through the first semester!  I would like to thank those parents who made it to Student Led Parent Teacher conferences on October 18th and 20th.  It was great to see you and have discussions about your child's progress at LCHS.   This month leads us to another important reporting period as report cards will be distributed to students on November 23.  Please expect them home that day and if you have any questions, please phone the school. 

November also brings our annual LCHS Remembrance Day service on November 4th at 9:50 in the gym.  Mr. McFarlane and our organizing committee do a fantastic job with the service and would love to have you join us for the hour.  

On the extracurricular front, our Football and Volleyball seasons will wrap up this month, allowing students the opportunity to join our Basketball and Curling teams at LCHS.  Go Barons! For a complete list of events happening this month, please see our events page in this newsletter.  
 
As always, if you ever have any questions regarding student progress or anything else, please don't hesitate to contact the teachers or staff at LCHS.  
 
Have a great month!
