LnHS Weekly Update

Dear Lancaster High School Eagle Families

Spring is flying by! Our ASB has a fun rally planned for Friday. In addition, we have fun school spirit days planned (see flyer in the school program section below). School is what you make of it so we encourage our students to get involved, even if only participating in school spirit weeks! Get involved and try your best... it's all we ask! Speaking of doing your best...

We are in full swing with our state testing. The CAASPP (California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress) is taking place now. CAASPP testing holds significant importance for students at Lancaster High School as it serves as a crucial measure of academic proficiency and growth. The results help identify areas of strength and areas needing improvement, guiding instructional strategies and interventions to support student success. Additionally, CAASPP scores play a role in evaluating school performance and informing educational policies, ensuring accountability and driving continuous improvement efforts to enhance the overall quality of education provided to students. We only ask students to do their best and get the questions they know correct! In other words, just try and resist the urge to just get through it. Students, all we ask is that you TRY YOUR BEST.

Upcoming Dates

• April 22nd - Lancaster vs. The Wizards Basketball Game (see info below)

• April 27th - AVC Arts Festival (see info below)

• May 4th - Prom - (see info below)

Your Principal, Zach Mercier

Free AVTA Bus Pass for ALL Students

AVUHSD works hard to remove barriers of many kinds for students, and today we’re excited to share that starting immediately, ALL students may obtain a FREE AVTA bus pass that is valid through June 2024.

We are pleased to announce that the Antelope Valley Transit Authority’s Go Pass Program is now available to all students served by the Antelope Valley Union High School District. This initiative grants free access to all Antelope Valley Transit Authority (AVTA), and Los Angeles County Metropolitan Authority (LACMTA) bus routes. Please note that all Go Pass holders are subject to the AVTA Customer Code of Conduct, and misuse will be subject to the decisions and actions of the AVTA.

This program requires approval from a parent or guardian. Please provide the
information requested in the permission slip and return it to our library. This will authorize the issuance of an AVTA Go Pass to your student. Authorization also indicates your acknowledgment of the service provided through this program and the possible outcomes due to any identified misuse.

• You may print out your permission slip from the attachments included or have your student pick one up from the library
• The permission slip must be signed by the parent and returned to the library to receive your Go Pass
• If your student is in the moderate/severe special education program, you may receive your permission slip from your student's teacher or you may pick up from the library. Your permission slip will have different options that you may choose from (such as your student's teacher holding onto the pass for your student)

Feel free to reach out to Principal Mercier at zmercier@avhsd.org if you have any questions.
