A Message from Principal Joshua
Welcome to the final countdown of the 2020-21 school year. There are exactly 6 weeks remaining until the last day of school, May 26th! Please be sure to remain connected as there will be communication on various topics as we get closer to the final days of school. Progress checks will be ready for you by the end of the day on Friday, April 16th. This is also a teacher work day as DCSS employees will have the opportunity to receive their 2nd Covid-19 vaccine shot and work on grades. We are also working in concert with the County Office to finalize plans regarding learning options for next school year. Once those plans have been solidified, I will communicate them with you through all platforms.
In the next section of the newsletter you will also find details regarding EOC testing taking place in May. I am also very pleased to announce that we will be having PROM! The date for prom is Saturday, May 15th and it will take place here on campus. The cost for prom is $50 and must be paid online, in advance. Finally, we are also most certainly having an in-person graduation for the Class of 2021! Details and dates will be communicated in the coming days.
Please encourage your students to finish this school year as strong as possible. It is imperative that they are in attendance every day either in-person or online. If online, they need to have their cameras on and actively engage with the teacher throughout the class period. Having missing assignments is not acceptable as they should be completing their work every day. We are here to support every student, so if you need any additional assistance please contact your teachers via email. Thank you for your continued support!

AP Testing Information
Students who enroll in AP courses and take AP exams send a signal to colleges that they’re serious about their education and that they’re willing to challenge themselves with rigorous coursework. Research shows that students who receive a score of 3 or higher on AP Exams typically experience greater academic success, fulfill graduation requirements earlier, and have higher college graduation rates than their non-AP peers.
All LSHS students enrolled in an AP course are registered to take the corresponding AP exam. AP Exams will be administered at LSHS between May 3rd and May 17th.
The exam schedule and details about exam exemptions, fee waivers, and payment are available online at https://tinyurl.com/lshsap2021.
The deadline to submit all forms and payments is April 23, 2021.
