August 2023 Newsletter
Save the Date: August 30th
We hope the summer is bringing lots of rejuvenation, exploration, and relaxation. We're excited to kick off the 2023-2024 school year later this month! The first day of school is August 23rd!
On Wednesday, August 30th, from 5:00pm - 6:30pm in The View at LHS, EDGE staff will host an Open House Night for students and parents. For students, this will be a great opportunity to connect with other EDGE students and introduce your parents to the EDGE teachers and space. Parents, join us for informational sessions about learning in EDGE, ideas for supporting your student, travel opportunities, and other information for the 23-24 school year.

Student Schedules for the 23-24 School Year
EDGE schedules print in a unique format, so we wanted to provide you with some information that can help you read your schedule.

Here are a few tips: 
You will attend your out-of-EDGE classes during the designated hours on your LHS or LNHS 1-8 schedule. For example, if your schedule indicates Orchestra during the 3rd hour, you would report to Orchestra during the 3rd hour. The hours that indicate EDGE show when you report to The View for EDGE classes. 

The EDGE schedule is a listing of the classes you are enrolled in during EDGE time. Your EDGE teachers will work with you each week to schedule your EDGE learning sessions aligned with your courses. 

If you have questions about how your schedule works for EDGE, we will be able to answer questions on the first days of school!
