Principal's Weekly Message - 2/20/2023
Greetings,
This is Ian Solomon, Principal of Leesville Road High School sharing the latest news and upcoming events.
Safe driving around Leesville Road Campuses
We have had increasing incidents and reports of unsafe and aggressive driving around our campus during the arrival and dismissal periods. Most of these reports involve our students, but some reports have included adult drivers. An accident occurred on Friday morning due to unsafe, aggressive driving actions of one of the motorists. I am asking that each of us take steps and measures to talk with our students and remind them of the importance of driving safely and following the rules of the road to minimize opportunities for accidents to occur.
President’s Day
There is no school on Monday, February 20 in observance of President’s Day.
Red Carpet / Hollywood Nights – Prom 2023 (repeat)
This year's Junior and Senior Prom will take place on the night of March 17th, 2023 from 7-11 PM at the Crabtree Marriott on Glenwood Avenue, in Raleigh. Our theme is Red Carpet/Hollywood Nights, so dress to impress! Put on your best and brightest smiles because we will have a photobooth to capture the night's glamor. Refreshments and snacks will be served. Be sure to complete all necessary documentation and purchase tickets as soon as possible. Ticket prices are now 60.00 dollars. Sales will end on February 22. We are looking forward to this spectacular night! Detailed information can be found under the Pride News section of our website.
Parking at Middle and Elementary Schools (repeat)
Since the return from winter break, we have had several complaints from the elementary and middle schools of students parking illegally. Please be aware that the principals have notified us that they reserve the right to have cars towed that are parking without authorization on their campuses.
Food Deliveries Through Third Party Vendors Reminder (repeat)
To maximize the safety and security of our students, food deliveries from vendors such as Doordash, Grubhub, etc. are not allowed. Parents can drop food off for their student during the designated lunch time they are assigned. This expectation has been in place since the beginning of the school year and remains in force.
Thank you for your continued support of Leesville Road High School, where we take PRIDE in everything we do.
