STUDENT BULLETIN:
Lions, a few Health & Safety Reminders for this School Year:

One Way Halls-Students must follow the directional signs in our LHS hallways during all passing periods.

Lanyard/IDs-All students and staff are to wear their LHS lanyards with IDs while in the building. Lanyards should be worn around the neck, not put in a pocket or hanging from a backpack

Blue/Orange Cohorts-Students must follow their assigned blue/orange cohort days and are not allowed on campus during the school day on their "virtual" days. On days students are learning from home, they cannot meet with teachers, drop off items, come for lunch, etc. during school hours.

Student Restroom Use-All students must remain socially distant in the restrooms and wear masks at all times. No hanging out to visit with friends. And remember to wash your hands!

Seniors! Bettinger Photography will be here today to take FREE senior photos of every senior. If you have an even period language arts class, you will be pulled from that class to take your photo. If not, you will be pulled from a different class during your even in-person learning day. A full schedule of senior photos is posted outside the yearbook room in the back of the library. Please see Ms. Fisher with any questions.

SPORTS ANNOUNCEMENTS:
There will be a virtual season preview meeting for the Girl's Swim & Dive Team on Monday, November 2nd, at 7 PM. The link to join the meeting is https://meet.google.com/peh-tviw-uzw. We hope to see everyone there!

CLUB & ACTIVITY ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Key Club, Please come and make a Halloween decoration outside room 2620 any time on your in-person day today! We also have a few spots left for the in-person meeting next Tuesday. Sign up on the Key Club website, and remember you will need a signed waiver to participate.

Lions, get ready for Spirit Week next week, Oct. 26-30th! Mon/Tuesday wear your class t-shirt and mask; Wednesday - take your pet to school day in costume; Thurs/Friday - dress up in costume for the costume contest! See all events of the week posted throughout the school and on our Instagram page: @littletonupdates

Get in the Halloween Spirit next Monday, October 26, and Tuesday, October 27, by participating in the pumpkin carving contest! This contest will most likely be held in the courtyard, but participants should meet right after school in the Cafe. Supplies will be provided, so you only have to bring your pumpkin design skills! Hope to see you there.
