We are officially in testing season at Longview High School. These assessments are extremely important for our students and our campus.
We kindly ask that you carefully review the upcoming testing dates below and avoid scheduling appointments, trips, or other commitments on these days. It is very important that students:

As we close out the 3rd six weeks and bring the first semester of the school year to an end, we want to take a moment to recognize the hard work and growth shown by our students, staff, and families. This grading period marked an important transition point as students completed semester coursework and prepared to begin the second half of the year.
Attached, you will find our parent newsletter, which highlights accomplishments from the 3rd six weeks and provides important information regarding upcoming spring dates, campus events, and expectations as we begin the second semester. We encourage you to review the newsletter carefully, check your student’s progress in Skyward, and have conversations with them about goals for continued success moving forward.
Your partnership plays a critical role in helping our students stay focused, supported, and prepared as we enter the new semester. Together, we can ensure a strong finish to the school year.
Thank you for your continued support of our campus and our students. Our Lobo community is stronger because of you! 💚🐺
Go Lobos!
