We encourage any student who is feeling unwell to remain at home and recover until any illness symptoms have subsided. This is important for individual and community health.

It is also essential that parents report absences promptly to school receptionist Molly French, or call the school’s Absence Line (415-333-4021 x333) prior to 9:00 am, the day(s) of the student’s absence. 

Parents/Guardians may check on their student’s absence/attendance through their login on the school’s website. Families have two school days to clear any unexcused absence or tardy, or it will be counted as a “cut” which means a grade penalty applies in the affected class(es). Please see the student handbook for more information.

Wondering who to contact for a particular issue or dilemma? Is your student or family in need of school support? Please consult our “Whom Do I Contact” document. If you are still unsure as to who oversees what, your student’s advisor or the grade-level dean is always a good first point of contact.

The 2024-2025 LWHS schedule: We are on an eight day rotation. Each class meets four times a rotation. Advising groups meet every Tuesday between the first and second class blocks. Each session is 40 minutes in duration. 

As faculty and staff change roles within the school or whose professional life takes them in a new direction, we have personnel changes in the advising program. For quick reference, here are the changes affecting sophomore, junior, or senior advising groups:

• Class of 2025:

  • Mpandenyama → Velazquez

  • Wall → Wall & MacPhee 
     

• Class of 2026: 

  • Henderson → Nathanson & Rebek 

  • Fall → Mayotte (Fall semester)
     

• Class of 2027:

  • Gillenwater & Chang → Gillenwater

  • Shannon →  Breslin & Condon

  • Zapatero & Serrato → Zapatero

Please review these assigned advising group locations, at the Advising Spreadsheet (link will be available starting August 3). You will meet in these locations during school orientation. In addition, this spreadsheet includes your 2024-2025 locker assignment. Your books for the 2024-2025 academic year will be placed in your locker for you!  Should any student wish to make a locker change, you must first contact Ms. Oliva-Gomez to request a change.

2024-25 School Year schedules are expected to be released on or around August 1, 2024. Students can access their schedules via the school portal, by clicking on the tab “My Day” and scrolling down to “Schedule.”

Add-Drop is scheduled for August 5th-August 12th. Families will receive the Add-Drop link and further instructions in early August. You may refer to the add/drop section of the Course Request Guide until then. Our Director of Academic Services, Ms. Erica, will be available to answer any scheduling questions or concerns after the schedules are published. Please wait until after you’ve received your schedule to contact her.

Add/drop is first come, first serve, so the sooner students get their requests in, the better. If your add/drop request is denied, you will be automatically placed on the waitlist.  

If you receive your schedule and there is an error (please click here to read what constitutes a scheduling error), you may submit a request to have it corrected before add/drop begins; families will receive a link for the Scheduling Error Form in early August. Do not submit an add/drop form for a scheduling error. Emails to Ms. Erica will not be accepted to correct scheduling errors, you must submit a form.

All students are required to get a new and current high school picture ID card for the 2024-2025 year. The ID cards are used for admittance into school dances and events, standardized tests, and for work permits. A valid student ID may also be used for discounts at various stores and museums in the Bay Area. There is no fee for the ID card. Families can also order picture packages—ordering information will be available in mid-August.

There have been some modifications to the Student Handbook for the 2024-2025 academic school year. 

LWHS requires both students and families to read, review and sign off on the updated student handbook, available on the school resource board (and linked in a button at the top of this page). In early August, we will ask parents/guardians to sign the handbook acknowledgement form through the Magnus portal. Students will review the handbook in class meetings and sign a google form during advising. 

Students and parents can add the LWHS Block Schedule and LWHS Events calendars to their own Google calendar. Click the links below to be prompted to add them:

• LWHS Block Schedule—includes the academic schedule, special schedules, finals, and school holidays.

• LWHS Events—includes professional development days,performances, sports tryouts and banquets, ACT/SAT dates, family gatherings, etc.

Students who would prefer a printed Tiger Days planner can visit the front desk in the first days of school to obtain one.

Students may also add their individual class schedules, homework assignments, and athletic games (parents too) to their Google calendars. The Calendar Info Resource Board also has direction on how to add those calendars.
