• Students are expected to attend school and normal attendance parameters will resume.

• Students and staff will follow the LFHS Hybrid Schedule. This is the schedule that was in place prior to the pandemic.

• The Student Cafeteria, The Grind, commons, lower commons, Competition Gym, outdoor patio, and tents will be used for eating.

• Although all students will be in-person, there will be virtual options for students who want to access support while in other areas on campus. 

• PLT, which is weekly time for students to meet with their teachers for support, will occur on Wednesday mornings from 7:45 a.m. - 8:45 a.m. PLT will be in-person.

• Peer Tutoring, Executive Functioning (EF) Check and Connect sessions, EF After School Tutoring, and other support opportunities will also be provided and communicated with families.

• All students are assigned to Core Teams, which include student service and support professionals, who assist students with academic, social, and emotional needs. 
• Core Teams meet weekly to discuss ways to provide support for students and work with families to arrange support needs. Core Teams may also recommend and arrange supports that are tailored to the individual needs of students. 
• If students and families have questions about any of our supports, services, and/or general questions about navigating various aspects of school, they can reach out to a member of their Core Team.

• As of now, mask-wearing will continue to be an expectation for students and staff in the fall. Updates will be communicated, prior to the return. 
• As of now, we will continue to expect students and staff to complete the "self-certification health screener" every day. This is an additional layer of mitigation that will assist with keeping the building safe. This mitigation effort will also continue to be reviewed.
• PPE for students and staff will be readily available throughout the building.
• We will continue to provide Covid-19 related communication and updates to the school community.
