OCTOBER
Admin Corner: September was a very busy month, LCHS reached 1103 students. There are a great many people in our hallways. I am pleased to report that our fantastic student body are doing their best to respect each other and keep the traffic moving. The weather is starting to change however, so we all need to start thinking about finding the winter clothing and getting the snow tires on our vehicles. Please join us in welcoming new staff member Kyla Winacott. Ms. Winacott is teaching English for us this year. Our teaching and learning team are busy getting those first few weeks of marks into PowerSchool, so take a moment to peruse your child’s PowerSchool account. It contains more than just marks. You can access attendance, lates and historical grades. If you have any difficulties, please contact the main office for help. Wednesday, October 2nd is Custodians Day. Please join our entire school commu-nity in thanking our superb custodial staff for the great work they do providing a clean and safe learning environment for our students. The next Parent Council meeting will take place on October 2 at 6:30 PM in the staff room. Please come by and help support your school community. Progress reports will come out on October 11. These will give you an opportunity to see how your student is doing. You will have an opportunity to ask teachers ques-tions on October 16 at our Parent-Teacher conferences. The key to success in ed-ucation is good communication. Our school year is off to an excellent start. Thanks to staff, students and parents for a wonderful September. Upcoming dates:
October 2 - Early dismissal, Parent Council, Citadel Club and Custodians’ Day

PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCE SCHEDULING
October 16, 2019 5:00-8:00 p.m.
Go to: http://lchs.schoolappointments.com
Parents click on the “Register” tab and fill in the registration form to create an account. Once parents have successfully registered, they can login to the system and then must register their students by name.
To Book Appointments
Parents can schedule appointments for any student that they have added to the system by click-ing on the “Appointments” button beside the student’s name. The parent is then taken to a page where they can select the teachers with whom they wish to meet. Multiple teachers can be selected by using the “Ctrl” key on a PC keyboard or the “Command” key on a Macintosh key-board.
Teacher Appointment Calendars
Parents are shown the calendars of the selected teachers. It also shows them appointment times that are unavailable for booking. Parents can select appointment times by simply clicking the check boxes or by clicking in the time block beside the check box. Once an appointment time has been selected it will change to green. If no appointments are available, click on the call back button at the top of the list.
It is not possible for parents to select more than one appointment at the same time or to select more than one appointment with the same teacher. Javascript enabled browsers are required for validation on the screen.
Appointments Booked Successfully
Once the appointments are booked the screen will display the list of appointments for the stu-dent. When the parent clicks on the “Return to Home Page” button, they will return to the home page with their students and their appointments listed. They can book additional ap-pointments, or they can book appointments for another student.
Parents with More Than One Student
If a parent has more than one student at the school, the teacher appointment calendars will have an additional feature displayed when the second (or third, etc.) student bookings are made. If a sibling has an appointment booked, the student’s name will be displayed for a par-ent, thus making it easier to book adjacent appointments.
Printing Parent Appointment Schedule
From the home page it is possible for you to generate a PDF document with the list of your ap-pointments. By clicking on the “Print Appointments” button a window will pop-up asking the parent what they wish to do with the document. In Internet Explorer, it is recommended that you click the “Save” button, save the file and then click “Open” to view the file. IE sometimes has a problem downloading and opening PDF documents that are generated from web sites.
Click “Open” after the download is complete to view the PDF.
If you are having difficulties, you may choose to call the school to book appointments over the
phone. Call 780-986-2248.
