Emergency Contacts 

In the event of an emergency or illness, it is important that the school be able to contact either the parent or a designated emergency contact person. Students/parents/guardians are to identify at least one emergency contact on the application for admission. This person (or persons) will be identified in our Infinite Campus system and will be contacted only in the event that a parent/guardian cannot be reached. It is imperative that information be kept as current as possible. Updates are the responsibility of the student/parents/guardians. If there is a change in phone numbers, address, emergency contacts, etc. please notify the school’s Administrative Assistant as soon as possible. Only the individuals listed as either contacts or emergency contacts will be permitted to authorize a student to leave school or pick a student up from school. Individuals may be required to show picture identification prior to the student being released in order to verify his/her identity.

If a parent needs to contact a student during the course of the day, call the main office (970- 867-2924) and leave a message for the student. The office will have the student call the parent back during the next passing period. Students will only be called out of class if it is an emergency. Please do not call or text message students on their cell phones during the school day, for it disrupts the educational environment.

Emergency Response Procedures

In the event of a safety or security threat inside or outside the building, the Fort Morgan Police Department has assisted the school district in establishing safety and security procedures. The safety procedures are practiced at LHS on a monthly basis, with “unannounced” drills twice per year. If you arrive at or are visiting the school during either a drill or a real security incident, it is important that you follow all of the directions that are being given by either administration or law enforcement, and realize that students will not be released until it has been deemed safe to do so.

In the event of a safety or security threat, please do not call the school or attempt to retrieve your student(s), unless otherwise notified to do so. As soon as it is safe to do so, either school or district personnel will provide you with an update regarding the situation.
