Happy Friday, Panthers!
The finish line is in sight—just 7 school days remain in the 2025–2026 school year!
A special congratulations to the South Lakes High School Class of 2026 as they celebrate their graduation today, June 5, 2026, and prepare to embark on their next chapter. We are incredibly proud of their accomplishments and wish them continued success!
As we close out another outstanding school year, we hope you will join us for our end-of-year celebrations and special events. These moments provide wonderful opportunities to recognize student achievements, celebrate growth, and reflect on a fantastic year together.

STUDENT SERVICES
Course Request Changes- Rising 8th Graders Only
If you would like to request a change to your child’s 26-27 LHMS course selections, complete this LHMS Course Request Change form by Friday, June 12. This date has been extended to allow families to review their child’s 25-26 SOL scores and make changes based on that data. Elective course requests are not guaranteed, as they are dependent on availability. You may view your child’s current 26-27 course requests in ParentVUE under the ‘Course Request’ tab. Please contact your child’s LHMS counselor with any questions.
Social Emotional Learning with Second Step
In this week’s lesson, students learned how to build confidence by preparing their physical and emotional state and by observing others. Family conversation starter: Tell your child about a time when you watched someone do something and it helped you feel more confident. Ask your child to describe one of the confidence-building strategies they learned about.
