Welcome to Lake Pend Oreille High School

🍎 LPOHS August 2026 Family Newsletter

Dear LPOHS Families,

I hope you have had a wonderful summer filled with rest, relaxation, and time with family and friends. As we prepare for a new school year, our staff is excited to welcome both returning students and those joining the LPOHS family for the first time.

At Lake Pend Oreille High School, our mission is to “Cultivate the Possible” by building meaningful relationships, fostering a supportive learning environment, and helping every student achieve their personal, academic, and career goals. We are looking forward to another incredible year together!

🌭 Open House – September 1

Please join us for our Open House on Tuesday, September 1, from 4:00–6:00 p.m.

This is a wonderful opportunity to:

• Meet our amazing staff

• Tour the school

• Learn about our programs and expectations

• Connect with other LPOHS families

We'll also be serving a free family dinner of hot dogs, chips, and cookies, so come hungry! We hope you'll join us as we kick off another fantastic school year.

⏰ Daily Bell Schedule

Please take a few minutes to review our NEW LPOHS 26-27 BELL SCHEDULE with your student before the first day of school. Arriving on time and being prepared each day helps students build positive routines and sets them up for success.

Students should plan to arrive a few minutes before 8:00 a.m. so they are ready to begin the day on time. If you have questions about your student's schedule, transportation, or classes, please don't hesitate to reach out—we're here to help!

🌟 Looking Ahead

As we begin the school year, our focus will continue to be on:

• Building strong, caring relationships with every student.

• Supporting consistent attendance because every day of learning matters.

• Creating a safe, welcoming, and engaging school environment.

• Helping students grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

• Preparing students for success beyond high school.

Our staff believes every student has incredible potential, and we are committed to helping each one thrive.

☎️ Office Information

The school office is currently closed for the summer and will reopen on August 17.

• Enrollment for the 2026–2027 School Year

Enrollment remains open for the upcoming school year. If you have not yet completed your student's enrollment, please do so as soon as possible. Completing enrollment before the first day of school helps us prepare schedules and ensures your student is ready for a successful start.

• Immunizations

As we prepare for the 2026–2027 school year, please make sure your student's immunizations are up to date and that the school office has a current copy of their immunization records.

This is especially important for incoming seniors, as Idaho requires one additional immunization before their senior year of high school. Having updated records on file before school begins helps ensure a smooth start to the year.

If your family chooses not to immunize, Idaho allows parents or guardians to complete an Immunization Exemption Form. Completed exemption forms may be returned to the school office or emailed for your convenience.

If you have questions about your student's immunization status or need an exemption form, please contact the school office.
