LHS Updates and news
April 5, 2024
Here is what is happening in our Building
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.
Solar Eclipse
The Solar Eclipse is almost here. April 8 is right around the corner. Mr. Hill will be viewing the eclipse with a group of students that have purchased appropriate eye wear. Students should not view the eclipse without propoer eyewear that will protect their eyes.

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.
