Principal's Message
Greetings Vikings
Our mission is to provide your child every opportunity to prepare them for a college or career path after high school. We offer a variety of social events (sports, performances, organizations…) which engage students and provide connections that last a life time.
This is an exciting time, as we move forward in technology to enhance your child’s learning. Make sure you and your child are following their progress through BCPSONE. I want to encourage parents to utilize their BCPSONE account to track their progress and communicate with the teachers. Schoology is the Learning Management System we use in BCPSONE. This is how your child will obtain and submit their coursework for each class. This is how you can check your child’s grades.
We utilize the call home “Messenger” phone system. If you are not receiving messages, please come to the office and make sure we have your correct information, and to see all the great things our students, accomplish. Our phone number is 443-809-1415.
Your child must have a GPA of 2.0 at the end of each quarter to participate in Fall, Winter & Spring sports. The report card grades impact the beginning of a season as well as the end of a season. First Quarter ends November 8th, Second Quarter ends January 24th, and Third Quarter ends April 3rd.
The key to success is based on attendance, it is the number one factor when it comes to graduation and acceleration in academics. Our doors open at 7:15 a.m. & classes start at 7:30 a.m. The school day ends at 2:00 p.m. Students need to balance their class assignments; with the A/B schedule a class only meets 22 times a quarter.
Students who arrive late to school are late to 1st period. This has a negative impact on the 1st period class. Students are not allowed to leave campus unless they are being dismissed early and a parent has signed them out from the office.
Parents please bring your ID with you if you are:
-
Visiting classrooms
-
Having a meeting with teachers and/or guidance
-
Going to an IEP/504/SST meeting
-
Picking up a student to go home early
-
Picking up a student from the nurse (go to the office first, please)
This year the senior prom will be FREE for any senior on track to graduate and receives ALL passing grades for Quarters 1, 2, & 3. Remember students need to meet the HSA, SSLH & credit requirements to graduate.
Please join the PTSA and help us make Lansdowne High the best place for an education. Working together creates a strong support system to help prepare your child for their future.
