LMHS Learning Options:  Face-to-Face/Blended/Virtual

It is our responsibility to know who is in our building at all times.

The first day of the school year has been changed to Tuesday, September 8th.  This is for all students regardless of which option you signed up for during the registration process.  Below you will find more detailed information regarding the option you chose for your child.

If you chose the face-to-face option:

• Students will have the same 4 classes every day first quarter (Day 1 classes).
• Students will have the same 4 classes every day second quarter (Day 2 classes).
• Students will be covering a semester's worth of material in one quarter.
• Students are expected to be in the building during the regular school day and follow all expectations of in-person learning.
• Students are required to wear masks at all times when in the building. If you are not comfortable with this, you must choose the full time virtual option.
• If you have a JEDI singleton course in your schedule, you are able to complete it in the Learning Center or off campus. This is for face-to-face only.

If you chose the blended option:

• Students will have the same 4 classes every day first quarter (Day 1 classes).
• Students will have the same 4 classes every day second quarter (Day 2 classes).
• Students will be covering a semester's worth of material in one quarter.
• Students have the option of taking up to 3 classes virtually each quarter.
• Students will receive virtual instruction from LMHS teachers. If this is not possible, students will be assigned to a JEDI course. In the student schedule, a “V” listed next to the class section means virtual with our LMHS teacher.  A “J” listed next to the class section means JEDI.
• JEDI classes must be completed by the end of the quarter like any other class in their schedule.
• Students are expected to complete their virtual and JEDI classes off campus and are not allowed into the building during school hours.
• Students are required to wear masks at all times when in the building.  If you are not comfortable with this, you must choose the full time virtual option.
• Students may need to be logged into their class during their scheduled class period. Teachers will communicate this information to virtual students as to when they would like them to be logged in.

If you chose full time virtual:

• Students will have the same 4 classes every day first quarter (Day 1 classes).
• Students will have the same 4 classes every day second quarter (Day 2 classes).
• Students will be covering a semester's worth of material in one quarter.
• Students will receive virtual instruction from LMHS teachers. If this is not possible, students will be assigned to a JEDI course. In the student schedule, a "V" listed next to the class section means virtual with our LMHS teacher. A "J" listed next to the class section means JEDI.
• JEDI classes must be completed by the end of the quarter like any other class in their schedule.
• Students are expected to complete all classes off campus and are not allowed into the building during school hours.
• Students may need to be logged into their class during their scheduled class period. Teachers will communicate this information to virtual students as to when they would like students to be logged in.

For students who are enrolled in Spanish:

• An email was sent out by Mrs. Sweeney on Tuesday, August 18th regarding your options for Spanish.
• Options include: taking Spanish online through JEDI, selecting another course (one course per semester), or taking a study hall.
• Please fill out the course change request form (found on the LMHS homepage) by Friday, August 21st. If you do not fill out the form by the end of the day on Friday, August 21st, a study hall will be assigned in place of the Spanish course.

Students will have until Friday, September 11th  to make any changes to their learning option. If interested in making a change, a parent or guardian must contact your child's school counselor.

LMHS Teachers Providing Virtual Instruction

The following teachers agreed to teach their classes both face-to-face and virtual. 

Please review the list of teachers who are providing their classes both virtually and face-to-face: 

Technology

For students who are full time virtual or blended, it is expected that they have a device (a cell phone does not count for a device).  If you need technology provided from the school for your instruction,  please fill out this form.

1st Semester Schedule: Day 1, Quarter 1/Day 2, Quarter 2

The first day of school is Tues. Sept. 8.  Students will begin their day at 7:55am in Advisory.  When you log into Skyward, you will be able to see your student’s schedule and advisor.  Students will also receive a hard copy of their schedule in Advisory.

LMHS will run a Day 1, Quarter 1/Day 2, Quarter 2 schedule - meaning we have  Day 1 classes each day of  first quarter, and then Day 2 classes each day of second quarter.  In the case that we would need to pivot to virtual learning, we want our students and teachers to be able to focus on only four classes.  By doing our traditional block schedule students and teachers would need to prepare and work on 8 classes.  We feel this is more conducive for a successful environment.  With this schedule, each 9 week class is equivalent to a semester course. 

Please refer to the master schedule here.  

Lunch

There will be two lunches.  Freshmen and Juniors will have an early lunch followed by their advisory.  Sophomores and Seniors will have their advisory, followed by a late lunch. 

To eliminate student traffic and congestion in the cafeteria, we are offering an open campus lunch for all juniors and seniors.

Please fill out the form here if you want to give permission for your student to leave campus for lunch.

Freshman Orientation

Freshman Orientation will be held virtually for all 9th graders (regardless of learning mode of instruction)  on Mon. Aug. 31 from 10:00-11:00am..  Link leaders will call freshmen no later than Sat. Aug. 29 with more details.

Athletics

Athletics will begin as scheduled. Students not in the classroom for fourth block will not be allowed entrance into the building until the school day is completed.  Students are not allowed to congregate after school in the hallways and students must report directly to their designated athletic space.  Please expect communication from Mr. Considine after the August 14th WIAA Board of Control Meeting.  Students can register now for Fall athletics through Skyward.
