Costa Rica Trip
A group of 23 students and five adults traveled to Costa Rica during April vacation. We had an incredible trip, touring the country from east to west. Highlights were visiting the Fortuna Waterfall, Arenal Volcano (and its surrounding hot springs resort!), ziplining through the rainforest, making our own chocolate, lots of national park and beach time, and getting to know our two amazingly funny and knowledgeable tour guides, Verny and Quique. We even spotted several elusive sloths!
Senior Parents
Attention parents of seniors: The yearbook staff would like you to send in pictures for our "little seniors" section These are not really "baby pictures", but pictures of your sons and daughters with their friends from school events, sports, and activities, throughout their school years. Please email whatever pictures you'd like to submit to potentially be on these pages to either tyourk@lunenburgschools.net or yearbook@lunenburgschools.net by Friday, April 26th.

Bus Transportation forms for 2024-25 school year
Action is required for ALL families to complete this form (one for each child) by the May 1st deadline even if you do not require bus transportation.
FORM LINK: Transportation Form Link
POLICY: UPDATED TRANSPORTATION POLICY - APPROVED 3-15-23
PROCEDURE: TRANSPORTATION PROCEDURE
Please read all instructions contained in this form carefully. Once submitted, you will receive an email receipt that we have received your form.
After the May 1st deadline, we will extract the necessary data from the completed/submitted forms and provide that data to the bus company so that they can begin to develop the bus routes around the known ridership. We must provide the bus company data this early because staff at the bus company have limited availability in the summer months.
This timeline is designed to provide families and school administrators with arrival and dismissal information for planning purposes in order to reduce some of the stress that oftentimes accompanies back-to-school.
It is important to note, as per policy, any students whose forms are submitted after the deadline may not be placed on a bus for up to 60 business days; the only exceptions are for (1) students newly enrolled in Lunenburg Schools after the deadline, or (2) newly arising/emergency situations.

LMHS LIBRARY DIGITAL RESOURCES
The library offers many digital resources such as research databases, ebooks, audiobooks, citation creation and digital notecard/research organization tools. Links to these can be found on the library website: https://sites.google.com/lunenburgschools.net/lmhs-library-media-center. The databases are grouped by subject areas to make navigating the many resources easier. Databases work automatically within the school building, but passwords are needed for home access. The database passwords are accessible from any database page on the library website - look for the blue banner at the top of each database page. As long as a student is logged into their school Google account, clicking that link will open the list of usernames and passwords for all of the databases offered through the library.
Mrs. Vallee is available in the library and by email at pvallee@lunenburgschools.net for any student needing help finding a book, researching a topic, using the databases, or creating citations.
