KEY BADGE RETURN

If your current 6^th/7^th grade student is returning to LHMS in the fall, they will KEEP their badge to use next year. Please keep these badges in a safe place, as replacement cards are $6.00.

If your current 6th/7th grade student will NOT be returning in the fall, we ask that the Keycard ID Badge be returned to the main office before June 5^th to avoid a $6.00 fine.  The office will be open for returning ID badge keycards, textbooks, library books and any other items Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. through June 5^th.

Please note that all current 8^th graders are required to return their LHMS Keycard ID Badge.

Badges need to be returned to the LHMS main office before June 5^th to avoid a $6.00 fine. The office will be open for returning ID badge keycards, textbooks, library books and any other items Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. through June 5^th.
