Greetings,

 

This is Ian Solomon, Principal of Leesville Road High School sharing important Return to Campus information and other important announcements. This correspondence is the final of four that will be shared between now and February 17.

 

 

 

LRHS Health and Safety Manual

As we prepare for in-person instruction, it is important that students and parents have a feel for what to expect. The first link provides you with detailed information and answers to the following topics:

  • Bell Schedule
  • Class Materials
  • Plan B Cohorts and Rotations
  • Technology and Devices

 

 

 The second link is the full LRHS Health and Safety Manual. This information can also be found at the top of our homepage as well as the LRHS News section of our website. It is imperative that you and your student review the Health and Safety Manual in its entirety.

Cap and Gown Portraits

This is the final reminder to schedule a session for optional cap and gown portraits.  The sessions will be held on Feb 19, 2021, in the Multipurpose Room. Cap and gown portraits are not a requirement and will not be featured in the yearbook. To schedule a session, please visit https://prestigeportraits.com/. Once there, you will have the option to search for our location to set up your appointment. $10 is due at the time of the session. If you have any questions, please feel free to email atabron@wcpss.net.

 

 

 

Cap and Gown Information

  • Caps and gowns will be delivered to the school on April 8.  Cohort C will be able to get theirs from 2-3 PM, and Cohorts A and B and VA students can get theirs from 3-5 PM.  This will be a drive-thru event.   If you are unsure if you ordered, here is a list of orders: LRHS Cap & Gowns Orders as of 2/15/2021.  If not on this list, please order ASAP from this site linked here: Jostens Cap & Gown Order for LRHS.
  • The following seniors (linked HERE) in the Class of 2021 have qualified for an honors stole.  If you qualified and would like to order one, the cost is $13 and can be paid for at this link: LRHS $13 payment for honors stoles.  Per WCPSS policy, this honor is determined by your cumulative weighted GPA from your first semester freshman year through the end of first semester of your senior year (January 2021).  These will be delivered with caps and gowns on April 8.  Mrs. Dinkenor knows which stole you earned and will give you the correct one at delivery. If you have any questions about your GPA, please email Mrs. Dinkenor at hdinkenor@wcpss.net or your individual counselor.
