Dear Lancer Families,
Today was the final day for underclassmen to drop off their books and materials, instruments and athletic gear, and to pick up any items left in lockers. Students should have completed all of their assignments to earn passing grades for Quarter 4, and earn Semester II credit. For those falling short of that expectation, a plan should be developed for completion during summer session. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to your House Assistant Principal.
Seniors: Although today would have been your graduation day and the completion of senior week, we are still working hard to host three major afternoon / evening events for you to celebrate during the final week in July. We are exploring a Senior Social on campus slated for Monday, July 27th (Rain date of Tuesday, July 28th). We will have our Baccalaureate and Graduation ceremony on Wednesday, July 29th (rain date of Thursday, July 30th) potentially at Fisher Cat Stadium or on our campus, and Castleton is still finalizing plans to host our Prom on Friday, July 31st in Windham, NH. All three events are being discussed with our school board and local officials to ensure safe events. The reason we scheduled the final week in July for these events and are sticking with that schedule, is to give our seniors every opportunity to have traditional ceremonies that include the entire class, to maximize the amount of family members who can attend and celebrate your achievements, and to hopefully have less restrictions from the state and local level by the time these events arrive. We appreciate your understanding and support in these extraordinary times. Our Senior Class Advisors, Officers, and Representatives are working hard to celebrate the Class of 2020 like no other high school in our state has! Your yearbooks will be mailed home to you in July, and you will be able to pick up your Cap and Gown, Awards, Stoles, Scholarships, and a small token of appreciation on Wednesday, July 8th at the LHS gym from 4:00 – 6:00 pm. We will acknowledge all of your achievements on July 29th, and will continue to provide more specific information once these plans / events are finalized. Please enjoy the following video celebrating our Top 10 Academicians in the Class of 2020:

Underclassmen: Now that you’ve dropped off your books and materials, and closed out your school year, please look for a few things in the mail. We plan to send out report cards to all students next week (June 13th – 17th) and if you ordered a Yearbook through Jostens, that will also be mailed to you. Enjoy your summer! Some of you will need to make up Incomplete Quarter 4 grades this summer in order to pass the course and earn credit for semester two. Please complete the remaining assignments that have been arranged for you to pass the course. You have until July 24th to complete them, and then grades will be closed out. In early August, we will have recommendations and specific plans on our return to school in the fall.
We want to thank our students, teachers, parents, and community members for coming together through remote learning. We believe collaboration is important, and it is a major component of our “Portrait of a Graduate”. Our school community has taken a collaborative approach during this challenging time, and we are very proud of the results. Enjoy your summer vacation!
Sincerely,
Jason Parent
Principal
Londonderry High School
