Athletes Alert

We have implemented a change in practice for LPHS beginning in the fall of 2012.  The Bend La Pine Schools Athletic Handbook outlines the school district policy on page 21, "Students will not be allowed to participate in athletics if they have outstanding fees, fines or other charges due any school of the district".  This means that when a student that still owes fees turns in their paperwork for fall athletic teams, they will not be allowed to begin practicing until these are made current. 

Bills have been recently sent home outlining the charges that your student has.  Please review those and remit payment as soon as possible to avoid any delay in your child being able to participate in our athletic program in the fall.  If you have any questions, please call Rusty Zysett, Athletic/Activities Director, LPHS at 541-355-8409.

We appreciate your attention to this matter.
 

ASPIRE Volunteers Needed

 
Interested in helping students achieve their dreams?
Do you have a few hours a month you could volunteer your time working with grateful high school students?
 
La Pine High School, in conjunction with the state access program, runs a program called ASPIRE.
 
To summarize, the volunteer program is designed to help students who might not otherwise go to college. The program relies on mentors who can help students do the important work of searching, planning, and applying to colleges and financial aid programs. The students are wonderful and very appreciative of the help they receive.
 
If interested please contact the counseling office at 541-355-8500.

April 2013  

Wow, how time flies! Spring break is over, and we are quickly on our way to the end of the year.  It is our hope that parents had the opportunity to spend some time with your kids over the break.  They will be out of the house before you know it! An article from the National Association of Secondary School Principals' (NASSP) Research Review was published regarding parent involvement in secondary schools.  In the article researchers conclude that continued parent involvement in their child's education has a positive impact on student performance.  We know that such information is not new to many of us, however, it seems that parent involvement becomes more difficult at the secondary level because your child has several teachers to communicate with rather than just one.  We hope our new School-Information-System (SIS), named Synergy, will help make this communication much easier! We are looking forward to the launch of this new system this summer. More details will be released soon. In addition, the research mentioned, says that parents communicating their expectations, values and goals for their child's education have sizable effects on student success.  What are your hopes and expectations for your child? Have you shared them?

Believe it or not, the planning for school year 2013 - 2014 is underway and we are excited for what the next school year brings!  Students have forecasted, and we had a very successful Freshman Orientation Dinner this month with over 140 people attending! In addition we are putting more focus than ever on student attendance and the required 92% attendance rate will be pushed more than ever next year. We value our home/school relationships and we depend on you for support in getting your child to school everyday.

We thank you again for your involvement in making our students thriving citizens! Please contact us with comments or questions at any time.
