How to Report an Absence Through ParentVUE

Please send a note with the student, instructing them to take it directly to the attendance office. They will receive a pass to be excused from class at the time you’ve indicated. It is the student's responsibility to leave class promptly at the stated time.

If your student does not have a note, you may sign in and go to the attendance office to check them out in person. Please understand that it may take up to 30 minutes for the check-out process if it is unexpected.

Please note we are unable to accommodate last-minute early releases after 2:30 p.m.

Do you have a student between grades 8 through 11 who wants to go to college? If so, they should consider applying to the College Partnership Program (CPP), which offers support from exploration to application! APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENDED to March 7, 2025.

CPP offers programming to help prepare students and families from 9th grade all the way through applying to and enrolling in college, including:

  •  Academic counseling
  • College visits
  • Help with completing college and scholarship applications
  • Monthly meetings
  • A summer overnight experience on a college campus

  • Maintain a GPA of 2.5 or higher in core classes

Book Talk 

Join LHS Psychologist Anna Brown and Social Worker Jordan Payne for an engaging parent conversation on Jennifer Wallace’s book, Never Enough. Never Enough “takes readers on a journey into the heart of toxic achievement culture and offers practical, actionable solutions for families, schools and communities.” 

Wallace concludes that “kids who receive feedback that they matter, no matter what, are more likely to have the resilience, self-confidence and psychological security to survive.” Jennifer Wallace is an award-winning journalist who began her career at 60 Minutes and contributes to the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. Mark your calendar for Fri, Mar 28 at 9 am in the Lecture Hall

RSVP to LHS Family Liaison Julie Zimmerman Hohl at jbzimmerman@fcps.edu if you are able to attend.
