Good evening, Loyalton High School parents and students. This is Mrs. Griffin with your first weekly All-Call of the 2026–2027 school year!
We are excited to welcome everyone back and loved seeing so many of you at Grizzlies Day on Friday. We are looking forward to a great year together!
The first day of school is this Wednesday, August 19, at 7:55 a.m. We will begin the morning with a welcome assembly in the gym, so please plan to arrive early. Breakfast will be served at 7:45 a.m. at the elementary school. Wednesday is also an early-release day, with dismissal at 1:35 p.m.
A reminder to our student drivers: please follow all posted speed limits in town and maintain 5 miles per hour while on campus. Students should park in the school parking area in front of the school. Students may not drive between LES and LHS during school hours or leave campus without permission from the office. Please see page 11 of the student handbook for additional information. Safety first!
During the first week of school, all students will spend Flex with their teachers reviewing the LHS Student Handbook. This includes important information about extracurricular eligibility, dress code, no energy drinks, our no-phone policy, and other school expectations. Please take some time to review the handbook with your student at home as well.
We do our best to build schedules that ensure every student is on track for graduation and prepared for life after LHS. If your student needs an approved schedule change, those changes must be completed by Friday, August 28.
If you have already called the District and added your child to a bus route list, your child has a seat on the bus. There will not be individual calls to confirm bus assignments. If you have not yet reserved a place on the bus, please contact the District Office as soon as possible to have your child added to the appropriate route list. 530-993-1660 ext 151. At this time, there are still a few seats available on our routes. Once a route reaches capacity, seats will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis, and additional students will be placed on a waiting list. A reminder from the DO: a student must be on the approved bus list to ride the bus. Students who are not on the list cannot simply show up and ride.
As many of you saw on Grizzlies Night, LHS offers a wide variety of sports, clubs, events, and activities throughout the school year. September is especially busy, with athletics, after-school activities, and field trips. Be sure to check the LHS website Events Calendar regularly for upcoming dates.
The Sierra County Wellness Center is excited to celebrate the new school year with you! Tuesday, August 25 4:00 PM–5:30 PM Wellness Center – 706 Mill St., Loyalton School supplies for every high school student! Pizza will be provided! Don’t miss out on this fun back-to-school celebration!
In FFA news, our FFA Chapter Officers will attend the Leadership Conference this Friday in Nevada City.
And in sports news, our volleyball team travels to Herlong on Monday, and soccer has a home game Friday against EnCompass. Come out and support our Grizzlies!
Thank you, and we look forward to a fantastic school year. Have a great first week, and as always, GO GRIZZLIES!
