Heads up to our 10th grade families! Please see the information below from your Assistant Principal, Ms. Nosa.
Dear Parent/Guardian,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Latisha Nosa, and I am the Sophomore Assistant Principal at Lanphier High School. In this role, I work closely with students to ensure they are on track with their academic credits and progressing toward graduation.
Throughout the year, I will meet with students to review their academic status and discuss goals after high school. I encourage you to review your student’s cumulative folder by going to Grades → Educational History, where you can view their transcript and earned credits.
In the near future, I will be hosting a parent night to review students’ academic standing and to share resources designed to support student success in high school and beyond. Please be on the lookout for an invitation with additional details.
To further support your student, please consider the following opportunities:
Tutoring: Students are encouraged to seek help from their teachers and attend after-school tutoring, available Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 3:30–4:30 PM.
Edmentum Credit Recovery: Students may check in with me to enroll in Edmentum credit recovery courses.
Summer School: This is another option for students who need to recover credits and stay on track for graduation.
Additionally, I would love for your student to participate in our upcoming Making the Grade program. This initiative pairs students with community partners to focus on strategies for improving academic performance. Please complete the attached permission form to enroll your student, or email me at ljcaldwell@sps186.org to confirm participation.
Thank you for your time and continued support. I look forward to partnering with you and your student throughout the school year. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Latisha Nosa
