LHWHS Link Crew Orientation

By Anonymous -

Good morning.  This is for parents of our LMS grade 8 students.

I just sent a Blackboard Connect email to current grade 8 parents regarding an orientation for incoming freshmen to LHWHS in August.

The body of the letter from the LHWHS Link Crew sponsors is below:



Hello! The staff and students of Ladue Horton Watkins High School
would like to invite you to:

Link Crew Freshman Orientation
Monday, August 3, 2015
8 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
LHWHS – Main “Nielsen” Gymnasium

The purpose of Link Crew Orientation is to make your transition from middle to high school a positive one. Juniors and seniors will be serving as your leaders. You will be involved in large and small group activities to help address all of your needs and concerns in an enjoyable manner. Wear comfortable clothes (and no flip-flops) and don’t bring too much stuff (no backpacks, purses) . . . travel light! If you have any questions, please contact one of the Link Crew Coordinators listed below.

Pre-Orientation Refreshments will be provided in the Cafeteria beginning at 7:15 AM – We ask that you arrive prior to 7:55 AM and report directly to the Cafeteria.  Please be prompt!  If you arrive closer to 8 am, please report directly to the Nielsen Gymnasium.

Bus transportation to Link Crew Orientation will be provided for those who need it.  Bus schedule information for Orientation Day will be posted on the LHWHS website (http://www.ladue.k12.mo.us/lhwhs/). 

Parents, this is a student-only event.  Please drop-off and pick-up your child promptly.  We promise, we will take excellent care of your Freshman!

You will receive a reminder phone call from your junior or senior Link Leader the night before Orientation. If you prefer not to receive a call from this student who has been trained to help you, please contact one of the coordinators before August 2, 2015.

We look forward to meeting you on Orientation Day!

Good afternoon.  I hope that your week has gone well so far.   All indications point to MAP testing having gone pretty well for the 6th and 7th graders this week.  Although many hands contribute to the success of school-wide, grade level testing, I would like to share special thanks to the work put in by Associate Principal Dr. Tiffany Taylor-Johnson, Counselor Janey Worthington, Technology Coach Karl Kindt, and Teaching Assistant Katie Rahmoeller.  We should wrap up testing for 8th grade next week, with make up exams to follow.   CONGRATULATIONS and THANKS Congratulations to the LMS Science Olympiad team.  This past Saturday, they took first place at the state finals in Fulton, MO with a commanding lead over the second place team (Pembroke Hill from Kansas City).  Thirty-two of the top teams from the state were present and Ladue took top five in 20 of the 22 events.  The team will be moving on to the national finals at University of W...
