Good afternoon Lennox JH-HS Students, Parents and Guardians:

 There are not too many additions to this week’s letter.  Major additions have been highlighted. Have a great weekend – See you next week!!

Open House

Our open house is scheduled for Monday, August 23, from 5-7 pm.  Students will receive their class schedules, lockers (7-8th grade), sign up for lockers (HS), and you will have the chance to meet your teachers.  HS students report to your SRB for your schedule (Seniors pick up schedules in the Office).  JH report to your 1st block class to pick up your schedule.  Signs will be posted in the lobby.

 Dual Credit

Dual Credit classes begin on August 23.  Laptops for Dual Credit students will be available for pickup during Open House from 5-7pm.  If you need your laptop earlier, you can pick them up from the HS office on the 23rd.  Students taking Dual Credit Courses should check their emails for information from Mr. Breske – School Counselor.  Students in Dual Credit will have a meeting during the school day on August 25 at 10am.
