Welcome to all students and parents of Lamont High!  We hope you take the time to browse our website, as we will be adding important dates to the calendar, updating newsletters monthly and adding other important information.  Please feel to call us anytime or drop in and visit. 

I know March has arrived and spring is near when I can see a hint of sunlight during the morning drive to school!  Though our winter has been milder than expected, the return of morning light ushers in AprilMayJune...what many call the shortest month in the school year.

 In early March, we catch our breath as the dust settles from all second semester time table changes that were made to ensure students remain on track to graduate.  The lull is brief though as we commence construction of next year's budget, staffing and master schedule.

 Basketball and Curling seasons are ending and we are so proud of the way our student athletes represented Lamont High this winter.  We are also grateful for parents who helped with transportation to games when destination demands exceeded the capability of our bus and our bus contractors.  I would also like to thank our coaches who volunteered their time to lead our teams.  You will find season summaries of our winter teams within the pages of this newsletter.  We hope to field track and badminton teams this spring.

 Mr. Gieringer, Mrs. Gruber and Mr. and Mrs. Bartz, will soon be leading 23 LHS students to Costa Rica for our 2012 Spring Tour.  We have arranged for a bus to collect us at Lamont High and deliver us to the Edmonton International Airport at 1:30 AM on March 21.  The bus will depart LHS at 2:00 AM.  We hope the group has a rewarding and educational experience in Costa Rica!

 Speaking of field trips, we are planning a Junior High reward trip this spring to celebrate the achievement and positive academic behaviors of our junior high students.  Eligibility details for student participation in the reward trip can be found in this newsletter.

 Finally, I am happy to announce the procurement of a new piece of Career and Technology Studies equipment in our Building Construction shop.  EIPS Instructional Services discovered there were funds remaining from last year's CTS equipment ever-greening program and they helped us purchase a CNC wood routing machine.  This piece of equipment will be used by Fabrication and Communication Technology students to engage in additional CTS projects that are highly personalized and creative.  I think you are going to enjoy seeing these projects when your students bring them home!!

 I hope you all have a great spring break!
