8th Grade to Visit MHHS: Dec. 3rd

MHHS Pathway and Elective Preview Field Trip

When: December 3, 2025, 8:30 am- 2:30 pm

Where: Mountain House High School

Permission Slip due: November 20, 2025

8th Grade students will be attending MHHS to learn about the pathways and electives available to them during their freshman year. This will allow students to learn about the different programs available to them so that they know what they want to sign up for when they begin picking classes for their freshman year. Counselors will be at Lammersville sometime in December or January (not scheduled yet) to sign students up for their high school classes for MHHSW.

If your student is not attending MHHS, this a still a good experience as the high schools have some similar programs. If your student will be transferring to TUSD, make sure to reach out to their high school to find out about important due dates and events that they offer.

Field Trip Day

Drop off your student in front of the MHHS Theater at 8:30 am to meet Ms. Ripken.

We will begin the day by watching performances from the band, orchestra, drama, choir, and dance groups.

Then we will spend time visiting different VAPA classrooms for electives- art, ceramics, theatre, and more.

Lunch will be provided by the high school for free!

After lunch, students will be split into groups to look into the different pathways:

Biomedical Science (Project Lead the Wy)
Business and Finance
Computer Science (Project Lead the Way)
Culinary
Dance
Digital Arts
Engineering (Project Lead the Way)
Media Arts (Photography and Video Production)

The day will be over around 2:30 pm. You can pick up your student from MHHS at this time.

Fill out the permission slip attached to attend this day. Click here for Permission Slip

Please email me if you have any questions regarding this day.

Thank you,

Ms. Ripken

Chromebook One2One Coverage -encouraged to purchase.:

Dear LUSD Parents and Guardians,

As we begin the 2025–2026 school year, we want to remind you about the importance of protecting your student’s school-issued Chromebook. Lammersville Unified School District is once again offering the One2One Chromebook Care Plan, an affordable and effective way to cover accidental damage, loss, and theft. EARLY BIRD SPECIAL – SAVE $10!
Now through August 8, 2025, families can take advantage of early pricing and purchase the One2One Chromebook Care Plan for just $40. Starting August 9, the plan returns to its regular price of $50 for the school year. For one low price, the One2One Plan covers both the Chromebook and AC power adapter from August 6, 2025, to July 31, 2026. Without coverage, families could be responsible for the full cost of device replacement or repair, up to $350 for the Chromebook and $50 for the charger.

What’s included with One2One coverage:

$0 charge for the first repair.
Reduced fees for the second and third incidents.
Protection and peace of mind throughout the school year.

Purchase by August 31 to avoid inspection requirements:
Coverage can be purchased without inspection through August 31, 2025. After that, the device must be inspected by LUSD I.T. before coverage can be added.

For your convenience, we’ve attached a PDF flyer with full details and pricing. Thank you for helping us keep student devices safe and supported!
