GENERAL INFORMATION
Students must be enrolled in 7 classes each day. For any exceptions applications must be made to the School Administration. Senior students needing to work can go through the Career Choices work experience option.
The last day for students to change classes is 10 days into each semester.
Teacher Aides must be a Junior or Senior, and they may be an aide for only one period each semester.
Each student is expected to come to class each day with all of their necessary materials. These items include a pen or pencil, clean sheets of paper to write on and take notes in class, as well as a textbook that has been provided to you by your teacher. If a textbook has not been provided, make certain that any items the teacher hands out are kept in some type of folder or binder for each class.
SCHEDULE CHANGES
The Counselor’s Office will review information from teachers, parents, and test scores, as well as from the student, in helping with course selection. The Counselor’s Office is responsible for scheduling students and will review student or parent requests for schedule changes although some changes will not be possible because of the need to keep class sizes balanced.
TEXTBOOKS
Teachers issue books to students at the beginning of the year or term. Upon returning books, all noticeable damage will be subject to fines and payment required by the end of the school year. Lost books will be charged at replacement costs with adjustments made yearly for depreciation. Report cards will be withheld, and Family Access will be denied until all fines have been paid (including textbooks, course fees, sports fines/fees, and library books).
SCHOOL COUNSELOR
The main goal of a school counselor is to help students achieve academically and become productive citizens at LR Jr/Sr HS and in their community. Generally, school counselors: a) help students develop self-management skills and improve their relationships with peers and adults; b) help students develop a planned approach to their lives including setting short and long term goals and monitoring their progress; c) help students recognize the areas of academic achievement where they excel and have high areas of interest.
ADDRESS, PHONE & EMAIL CHANGES
It is mandatory that students and parents notify the school to update student information when changes occur throughout the year. Office staff and teachers regularly mail information and/or call a student’s home. It is very time consuming to track down correct information. Please notify the school secretary as soon as any changes occur regarding students’ home phone, mailing and physical address, and email address.
ASB CARDS
ASB cards help generate money for the Associated Student Body fund. Money generated through ASB is used to support such things as athletics, school wide assemblies, and a variety of other student needs and activities. All athletes are required to purchase an ASB card for participation. Other students who purchase ASB cards to help support the school will benefit by gaining free admittance into all middle school and high school athletic events as well as receiving reduced fees for fund raising activities sponsored by the ASB.
DAILY BULLETIN
An updated daily bulletin will be made available. Students are encouraged to pay attention to this information since it is the primary source for students to be made aware of upcoming events, activities, meetings, etc. The bulletin is available for parents/guardians on the LR Jr/Sr HS website. Any bulletin notices need to be turned into the building secretary.
STUDENT MESSAGES
Messages will be taken from parents/guardians only. To minimize interruptions to the learning process, classrooms will not be interrupted with transferred phone calls. A message will be delivered for the student to return the call at a convenient time. If the office staff deems the situation to be an emergency, the student may be brought to the office to take the call.
Cell phone calls, texting, etc. are a disruption to students’ concentration on class work. Please make arrangements for students’ transportation before the start of the school day. Students are allowed to make phone calls during the day only when/if an emergency occurs. Cell phones and other electronic devices are to be turned off and put into students’ back packs or purses. If there is a need to contact students, please call the school office and the message will be respectfully relayed.

MEDICAL AND DENTAL SCHOOL INSURANCE
All students are given the opportunity to purchase an accident policy covering the student for any injuries that may occur at school and to and from school.
REPORTING ACCIDENTS
Every accident in the school building or on school grounds (including practice sessions or any event sponsored by the school) must be reported immediately to the person in charge, not to exceed 24 hours. The appropriate accident report form must be completed and turned in to the school office.
ILLNESS OR INJURY DURING SCHOOL DAY
Students who become ill during the school day are to get a pass from their teacher and report to the nurse’s office. An attempt will be made to contact parents or guardians if the student is too ill to remain in school. No student will be allowed to go home if there is no one at home or the parent or guardian cannot be reached. In case of severe illness or accident, the school officials will see that he/she receives medical attention immediately.
MEDICATION
State law sets strict guidelines for the dispensing of prescription or over the counter medications by school personnel. Students that require such service must have their parents check with the nurse’s office to assure that all guidelines are followed. All medications – over the counter and prescription (with the exception of inhalers and epi-pens) must be stored in the nurse’s room with specific instructions.
LOCKERS
LR Jr/Sr HS IS NOT responsible for losses from lockers. The locker is only as safe as the student assigned that locker makes it. Locker combinations are available on the student’s skyward account. If students are asked to share lockers, it is suggested that you share with a close friend and do not give the combination to anyone else. A student having locker trouble should go to class before being tardy and then report the problem to the teacher. The teacher will refer the problem to the office.
Thefts sometimes occur in the hall lockers and P.E. lockers. To discourage these thefts, please take the following precautions:
1. Don’t disclose your locker combination to anyone.
2. Double-check your locker (hall and P.E.) every time you use it to be sure it is locked.
3. Don’t leave large sums of money or valuable articles in your lockers.
4. Report theft or loss of property to the office immediately.
5. Identify your P.E. clothing with a laundry marker.
6. The lockers are property of the school district. School authorities have the right and obligation to check lockers at any time for the safety, welfare, and protection of students and school property.
- Tampering with locker (i.e. blocking latch) could result in fines or loss of privilege.
PROPERTY
A student, a student’s possessions, or school property assigned to a student (locker, desk, etc.) are subject to search and seizure. Be advised that security cameras are in use at LR Jr/Sr HS in the hallways, at main entrances and covering the parking lot of the building
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
If personal electronic devices (cell phones, tablets, music players, gaming devices, etc.) are used during unauthorized times, they may be confiscated immediately by staff and turned into the office. After the first offense, the student can reclaim the device at the end of the day. If there are repeat offenses, the students’ parents/guardians will be called to reclaim the device. Authorized times for electronic device use will be determined by staff and is subject to change. If a student elects to bring electronics to school, be advised it is at their own risk. The school/district is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Refusal to comply will result in suspension of personal electronics privileges.
