As stakeholders, our parents, guardians, and families play a significant role in school safety and security. Please have regular conversations with your children about the importance of notifying school officials when they see or hear any suspicious activity involving any of our schools. It is equally important to discuss the consequences of making/implying threats, in person, or on social media.This dialogue can help our students understand the negative impact that this type of behavior can have on our schools, as well as on their friends and their future.
Additionally, parents, guardians, and families are encouraged to contact your principal, school counselor, or LFHS Educational Services if they believe their child can benefit from counseling or any other support. For more information at LFHS, please call (847) 582-7317.
