WOLF PACK READING DEN The Wolf Pack Reading Den distributed over 200 books yesterday. It was a great day seeing students and their families excited to read new books together before the school year begins! #LHWolfNation

We hope to see everyone out tomorrow for our special book giveaway! #LHWolfNation

UPDATED FACE COVERING REQUIREMENTS Based on recent recommendations from healthcare professional organizations and from the Lake Hamilton School District Ready for Learning Team, all students in grades K-12 will be required to wear a face-covering when physical distancing is not possible.  Administrators and teachers at the K-3 schools have agreed that this change is appropriate.  This strategy is being implemented to protect the health and safety of all students and staff, including our youngest learners.  Face coverings are effective in slowing transmission when combined with other measures including physical distancing, cleaning and disinfecting, and handwashing.  The Lake Hamilton School District will provide three washable cloth face coverings for each student.  Since this change may be significant for some families, the district is reopening Lake Hamilton Virtual Academy (LHVA) enrollment for grades K-3 until Friday, July 31, 2020.  Parents who would like to enroll their K - 3 students in the LHVA should email lori.bush@lhwolves.net for the registration form.  Please visit the "LHSD is Here" website to view the updated FAQ documents and building-level ready for learning plans pertaining to reopening school for the 2020-21 school year at this link: https://lhsd.info/LHSD-is-Here   #LHWolfNation

SPECIAL EDUCATION RECORDS In accordance with Federal and State guidelines, due process records collected on Special Education students in the Lake Hamilton School District who have graduated, moved, were dismissed, or found ineligible for special services prior to 2014 will be destroyed. Parents of these students, or the child himself (if he has reached the age of 18), have the right to request this information. Call 501-760-7759 by July 30, 2020 if you wish to request these records.

SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE From March 16 until June 25, the Lake Hamilton School District food nutrition department served 208,777 meals to children 18 years or younger through the meal delivery and distribution due to the COVID-19 school closure. The LHSD would like to thank the Chartwells K12 Food Nutrition team as well as all of the LHSD employees that volunteered to assist in meal delivery and distribution during the bulk meal feedings. #LHWolfNation
