Seniors arriving at 8:15 and later will need to make up the exam during the conflict period.

• Seniors arriving for all other exams should report to the cafeteria 10 minutes prior to the exam time, so that the exams may begin promptly. Once the exam begins, seniors will be considered late and will not be permitted to take the test during the scheduled exam time. Late seniors will need to make up the exam during the conflict period.

No cell phones, Smart Watches, Fitbits or talking are allowed. After the test, students may study, but they may not use electronics.

Seniors with a first and third period exam time, but no second period exam, must report to the Choral Room (rm. 22) for study hall during the 2nd exam period.

Wandering in the halls is not permitted. Leaving and re-entering the building is not permitted.

Seniors must leave the building immediately after their last exam each day. Once out of the building, seniors may not re-enter without a valid purpose. Seniors who have finished testing, but do not have transportation immediately following their exam, must report to Mrs. Wenrich in Study Hall (Rm. 22).

Study hard and strive for a strong finish to your academic career at LCHS. Good luck!

Thanks for abiding by the above expectations for final exams, which provide an organized and fair testing environment for all students. Study well and good luck!

Friday, May 28th - Asynchronous Instruction Day Friday, May 28th will now be an asynchronous learning day for all Lancaster Catholic students. Asynchronous is the method of instruction used on snow days. There is no live instruction. Students will access assignments and work for the day in google classroom for each class.

The important reason for this change is that we have already begun to assess needs for the upcoming 2021-2022 school year, and May 28th is now a professional development in-service for our teachers.

Our dedicated teachers begin the hard work of preparing for the school year in the summer, and we want to ensure that they have the necessary knowledge and skills to incorporate what they learn as early as possible.

Doing this in-service before the school year ends, also ensures that teachers have the time to practice using the newly gained knowledge over the summer months, which will benefit all of our students.

Student Lunch Account Information Freshman to Juniors have only 6 breakfast/lunch days left for the 20-21 school year. Please review your students account and make payment on accounts that are showing a balance due.

If your student has a positive balance it will carry to the 21-22 school year.
