Mark your calendars for October 17 at 7:30pm in the North Campus Reber Center. You won't want to miss Tom Thelen's Victimproof, an anti-bullying presentation for parents with Q & A.

Thelen has spoken at more than 500 schools and has appeared on NBC, CBS, FOX, and PBS. As a student, he was bullied, but thanks to one teacher he learned how to break free from the bullying cycle. His message shows students how to live a life of respect, responsibility and resiliency and demonstrates to parents how to raise victim-proof kids. 

Admission is free. To pre-register, click Victimproof.
ATTENTION Parents of juniors students: The College Coordinator and Junior counselors will address the college planning process, how to utilize Naviance, campus visits and making a college match Thursday, October 10, at 7pm in the NC Reber Center at  Beginning the College Search Process for Juniors and their Parents.

HOLLYWOOD HOMECOMING
Despite the rain, LT had a successful and spirited Homecoming. Eight classes returned to their alma mater to reconnect and reminisce. Alumni toured the buildings and participated alongside students in the parade. Two pilots - Karen Koenig '75 and Major General David Forgan '51 - were inducted into the Hall of Fame. Koenig and Forgan's widow, Shirley Forgan, were special guests at the Alumni Reception and flipped the coin at the 50-yard line to start the varsity football game. View the gallery above for just a few of the Homecoming day festivities.
REQUEST PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES ONLINE
Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held Wednesday, October 23, and Thursday, October 24. All conferences will take place in the South Campus Fieldhouse. 
Conferences may be conveniently requested online from your personal computer from 4:30pm on Friday, October 4, until Monday, October 14, at 11:59pm. Please remember that you are not scheduling conferences, only making requests.

Access the P/T Conference Reservation Request system through the LT website  using your Infinite Campus ID and password when prompted. If you don't remember your password or have any difficulty logging into the Conference Reservation Request system, please contact the North Campus Discovery Center at 708/579-7433 or email  BSalutric@lths.net .
  
Conference requests will also be accepted via telephone for those who do not wish to utilize the online service and for those needing language assistance. Phone call requests will be taken on Tuesday, October 15, and Wednesday, October 16, between the hours of 6pm and 8:30pm only. Call 708-579-6785 and ask for Parent/Teacher Conference reservation requests. These requests by phone will be entered into the reservation request system by school personnel. 
 
Parents/guardians who do not make requests online or via telephone may sign up for conferences if teacher(s) have any available conference slots, but must do so onsite in the South Campus Fieldhouse on Wednesday and/or Thursday evening (October 23 and/or 24). The doors open at 4:45pm each evening. Sign-up sheets will be in plain view on each teacher's meeting station. Simply write your name on any time slot that is labeled "Available for Drop-in." Priority for conferences will be given to previously arranged appointments.

Watch your inbox for an email with further details regarding conference sign-up.
REGISTER NOW FOR YOUNG HEARTS FOR LIFE
PE students at both campuses will hear a presentation from Young Hearts for Life about LT's upcoming cardiac screening. Each screening involves a brief three minute ECG that can detect several threatening heart conditions, such as Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, the leading cause of death in young people. The screening is simple, painless and free for all students.

The screenings will be held Thursday, November 7, at South Campus and Thursday, November 14, at North Campus.

This opportunity is strictly optional and is completely free to all LTHS students - not just athletes. You may register your child online for the screening at:

Testing will take place during PE and athletic study hall classes. All testing will include separate areas for males and females, with individual booths to ensure privacy.

Your family will receive your child's results directly via the account you create when you register. LT will not have access to any medical information resulting from this screening. Any concerns identified through the screening process should be a matter of discussion with your own family physician.

Even if your student participated in a screening two years ago when offered at LT, experts strongly encourage students to be screened every two years.

For those with questions, please review the Young Hearts for Life informative website:  Frequently Asked Questions

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

An undertaking of this magnitude could never be accomplished without the support of many. We will need 200 parent volunteers to assist in the screening process. If you are interested in volunteering 4-8 hours of your time (no medical experience is necessary) either on Thursday, November 7, or Thursday, November 14, please sign up via the YH4L website.

All volunteers sign a confidentiality agreement and must go through a short training on the evening prior to the health screenings. Only the cardiologists who interpret the ECGs have access to the student's test results. LTHS will not receive ECG results.

Please register your student for a screening and consider volunteering to assist LT with this life-saving event.
