Dear LASD Families,

We apologize for the attendance phone call that was sent in error this morning. It seems that even our technology is experiencing a little bit of first-day jitters!

Parents can check their student's Community Portal to see whether their student was actually marked absent or if the call was sent in error. If you believe your student was marked absent incorrectly, please contact the Secondary Building main office at 717-359-4146, ext. 3239, or ACES at ext. 4252, so we can help correct the attendance record.

Thank you for your understanding, patience, and grace as we work through a few first-day hiccups.

We wish everyone a wonderful first day of school!

๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›โšก๏ธA GREAT BIG SHOUT-OUT TO OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS!

We are incredibly grateful to our amazing community partners who donated school supplies to help our students start the school year ready to learn! ๐ŸŽ’โœ๏ธ๐Ÿ““

During our Back to School Nights and Open Houses, we had TWO tables filled with school suppliesโ€”and we refilled those tables numerous times! ๐Ÿ™Œ

The generosity and support of our community truly make a difference. Thank you for helping us make sure our LASD students have the supplies they need to feel prepared, confident, and ready for a fantastic school year! โค๏ธ

If you were not able to attend our events and still need school supplies, please contact the LHS / LMS Counseling Office.
