Other Announcements:

Attention all Internet Users.  We want to let you know that as of Monday morning, YouTube has been unblocked at Littleton High School.  This makes us the only LPS school with direct access to this website.  This came about because a student at LHS took on this topic in debate class last spring and after many meetings with teachers, administrators, and people at the district, LHS has been allowed to pilot open access to this website.  What this means is that content coming in to LHS through YouTube will go through the same Internet filter that all other content goes through, and teacher passwords will no longer be necessary for us to access it.  We imagine that the district and other LPS high schools will be watching our experience, so Lions, please use YouTube responsibly, and enjoy your new access.  Congratulations to Raj Reddy who led this effort.

Academic Lettering Students:  If you were not able to attend the Academic Awards Ceremony last night, you can come to the main office to pick up your award. Please see Ms. Mortenson.
