SPECIAL HIGH SCHOOL SCHEDULE WEDNESDAY On Wednesday, September 30, 10th-grade students (onsite and virtual) will take the paper/pencil Pre-ACT exam on the high school campus. The testing will take most of the morning. Due to the number of students, teachers, classrooms, and time that will be required to complete the exam, the schedule has been adjusted. 10th grade students will be on campus taking the Pre-ACT and will participate in their regular scheduled classes once testing is over. 11th and 12th grade onsite students will pivot to off campus for a student digital day. Teachers will communicate the digital day expectations, schedule, and assignments with the 11th and 12th grade students prior to Wednesday. 11th and 12th grade students who are enrolled in classes at National Park Technology Center (NPTC) should attend their normal classes at NPTC. 11th and 12th grade students who participate in classes at NPTC and ride LHSD transportation to/from NPTC will have transportation provided on their normal schedule to/from the high school. Students who choose to utilize LHSD transportation to/from NPTC will attend the NPTC classes and then remain in the Wolf Den connecting to their LHHS courses for the remainder of the day. This link (https://lhsd.info/Pre-ACT-10th-Virtual-Academy) is a letter to LH Virtual Academy 10th grade students regarding the Pre-ACT exam. #LHWolfNation

INSTRUCTIONAL OPTIONS DEADLINE The Lake Hamilton School District opened student registration for onsite and virtual instructional options on June 30, 2020. Since the virtual option was new for the 2020 school year, the deadline has been extended multiple times to accommodate Lake Hamilton School District families while figuring out what would be the best option for their child(ren) this semester. During a normal school year, students would have been able to make changes to their schedule up to 10 days after the school year has started. This year, the deadline for schedule changes was extended. That said, September 30th is the 27th day of the school year and the final day a student may switch to/from virtual/onsite instruction. No changes to the instructional options will be granted from October 1 until the end of the semester. There will be times where onsite students and/or teachers will have to quarantine or isolate themselves due to COVID-19. The school buildings will continue to accommodate those students and/or teachers by offering virtual instruction during the quarantine or isolation period. Parents may choose to have their student switch to/from onsite/virtual for the spring semester. A transfer application will be available at the end of the fall semester for parents wanting to change instructional options for the spring. #LHWolfNation
