If so, the LRHS Virtual Counseling Booth will be open every Thursday from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm. The Google Meet code is: lrhscounselorbooth - Spring Semester Schedules: We have started the process of adjusting our master schedule and moving students into the appropriate sections for the spring semester. Spring schedules will not be complete until January, as this is a massive undertaking to hand-schedule over 2600 students. At this point, we are in holding pattern for making any changes until January. At that time, requests for level changes, errors on the school's part and adjustments needed due to 1st semester failures will be reviewed. Elective changes will not be a priority as the focus must be on core classes related to graduation and an increase in course rigor. Please be aware that any schedule that is viewable this fall is not accurate. We will let you know when schedules are completed and may be viewed with accuracy. - Scholarship Bulletin #3 is now available. You can find all of our scholarship bulletins on our Scholarships page. |
