Coming Soon! Tardy Alerts

Spartans, thank you for taking your learning seriously! Over the course of the first semester, LCHS students have shown improvement arriving to class on time and ready to learn, and our numbers of students tardy to class have decreased. But we're still committed to having every student being in class on time.

Starting in Semester 2, LCHS will be piloting a new feature in Aeries, alerting parents when students are marked tardy to class. Similar to the phone call alerts generated when students are absent, parents will now get one phone call noting the period(s) when the student was tardy.

Why send these alerts? These calls support LCHS's class attendance policy. Awareness is our goal: as we partner with LCHS families, we're committed to ensuring that students are safe, supervised, and dedicated to showing up and doing their best in class.
