GREETINGS FAMILIES OF LHES!
It’s almost time to kick off a new school year together and I couldn’t be more excited! As I embark on year 11 as your proud principal, I am so pleased with the amazing work we did together during the past year. Your hard work at home and my staff’s phenomenal work here made a huge impact.
Just to note a few celebrations:
● We hit the state attendance expectation by reducing our chronic absenteeism rate!
● 99% of our families participated in AT LEAST one parent engagement activity/event!
● Our students’ scores in ALL Ohio State Tests’ subjects INCREASED from the year prior.
As we celebrate these accomplishments and more, we start over to do everything we can to continue to improve during the 2024-2025 school year. We will continue to be academically focused at all grade levels to ensure students are prepared AND we will continue our focus on building leadership skills in our students through our program, LEADER IN ME.
While getting ready for the new school year, I am asking that you plan to attend our BACK TO SCHOOL BLOCK PARTY on Friday, August 9th, from 4-6PM. It will be held on the back playground and lower level of the building. More information is included in this mailer.
We have a few staff changes that I am excited to share with you:
● Welcome back Mrs. Cyndi Chandler! She is returning to LHES as a building substitute.
● Welcome Ms. Candice Barnes! She is a resident of the VOLH and joins our staff as a building substitute.
● Welcome Mr. Stefone Williams! He started this summer in the role of evening custodian and has already made a great impact on the team.
● Welcome Mr. Otis Ray! Mr. Otis, as we fondly call him, joined us in the spring as a paraprofessional substitute. He will be officially on staff this year and we are thrilled.
Our theme this year is LEARN TODAY! LEAD TOMORROW! We are excited to share the meaning with you and our students this school year.
As always, I am here for you and your children. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions regarding the upcoming year. If you have paperwork questions, the office is officially open from 8am-4pm M-F.
Do not hesitate to call. See you soon!
Mrs. Dawn D. Bailey
Principal
