Dear LTHS Students & Parents/Guardians,
I hope this email finds you having had a great weekend.
This week we celebrate National School Social Work Week and School Social Worker Appreciation. Our LTHS Social Workers play a vital role within our school community. Our LTHS School Social Workers work closely with many students/families in support of our students. I encourage those students/families that have worked with our social workers to consider sending them an appreciative note this week as we recognize the amazing work they do in support of our students and our entire school community.
Senior Seminar Update for Class of 2023 Students/Families
As we have shared previously with senior students/families, on Wednesday, March 15, Class of 2023 students will participate in a Senior Seminar experience during the shortened school day. March 15 is an early release day, so school is in session from 7:45 am - 11:30 am.
On March 15, all juniors will be taking the Illinois Science Assessment during the school day in the Main Building at North Campus. All seniors will attend the Senior Seminar in the Vaughan Building. South Campus will follow the regular shortened day bell schedule and students will attend all classes.
Multiple communications regarding the event have been sent to senior students & parents/guardians. Attendance is required as students will attend the Senior Seminar on March 15 in place of attending classes.
All senior students need to complete the preference survey to sign up for break out sessions by the end of the day on Thursday, May 9.
College and Career Center Update
This week the LT College & Career Center will host Career Week at North Campus. The week will include visits from apprenticeship unions, trade schools, and short-term career programs.

Juniors and Seniors who are interested in this type of work are encouraged to sign up here (using their school email account).
