Communication Guide Home | Introduction | Communication: Teachers | Administration | Guidance | Printed Material | Solving Problems By Name | By Department | Faxes | LPS Administration All questions or issues relating to the larger community outside of the classroom and curriculum should be addressed to various members of the administration at LHS. Your first point of contact on all daily matters relating to your child is with the Dean assigned to your child. If you are unsure of whom to contact regarding any issue, please call the Main Office and the staff can help direct your calls to the appropriate person. Principal Michael Jones is always available to you should you not be able to find satisfactory answers to your questions elsewhere. Most policy questions can be answered by checking the Student/Parent Handbook which is mailed home at the beginning of each year. Certain policies, however, require parental input and are highlighted here: Attendance (Please check Student/Parent Handbook for full details): • Absences must be called in to your child’s Dean’s office by 10:00 a.m. on the day of the absence. • Any call from the Dean’s office regarding unexplained class absences requires an immediate response! It is important that any class absence incorrectly attributed to your child be remedied to prevent possible confusion on the permanent record. • Attendance Verification forms are printed and distributed to students every four weeks during the school year listing all absences and tardies. Students have three days to correct any errors. After this time, entries will be considered correct. The Forms will be distributed in Homeroom on: Thursday, October 4, 2007 Thursday, November 1, 2007 Tuesday, December 11, 2007 Thursday, January 17, 2008 Tuesday, February 14, 2008 Thursday, March 27, 2008 Thursday, May 1, 2008 Thursday, June 10, 2008 Substance Use Policy • Because LHS believes strongly in helping students to make healthy choices, there is a policy regarding use of illegal substances which applies to the student’s life both in and out of school. Please read the Student/Parent Handbook for a full explanation of this policy. The school cooperates fully with the Lexington Police at all times.
