The Dot

September 16, 2022

Our art installation created by our LCA students is complete and displayed in Founder's Hall! At our beginning of the year kickoff, we drew inspiration from the book, "The Dot," by Peter H. Reynolds. We read about how each of us has the power to make our mark to see where it will take us! Each student was able to design their own individual "dot," and then we gathered and connected them all together. We can see that each of us is unique, but when we are connected to one another something amazing can be created! We continue to connect with each other, ourselves, and our learning this year at Lake Country Academy!

A Message From Mrs. Beine

September 7, 2022

Each month at Lake Country Academy we focus on one core virtue. Our core virtues allow our school community to talk about character traits that make all of us good citizens in our school, city, and world! Our school community constantly engages in cooperation throughout the day to ensure that all of a child's needs are tended to--both at LCA and at home. We view our staff and parents/guardians as partners in ensuring that students are successful in school. How can you be a partner in your child's education?

• Communicate with your child's teacher, when needed. E-mail is a great way to keep in touch with your child's teacher(s). Teachers respond within 24 hours of receiving an email.
• Read the weekly newsletters that come home from your child's teacher. These newsletters give you great information about the content your child is learning and important upcoming dates.
• Volunteer at school! Connect with your child's teacher to find volunteer opportunities both at home or in the school. All volunteer hours can be recorded at ivolunteer@lakecountryacademy.com
• Check-in with your child each day to see what he/she needs to do for homework. Middle school parents can check Skyward and/or Google Classroom to keep up to date on your child's assignments.
• Ask your child specific questions about their school day, such as "What made you laugh today?" "What was the best part of the day?" "Did you help anybody today?"
  
  

We see student success in the classroom when our staff members and parents/guardians are working together to ensure the student is reaching his/her full potential! Thank you for helping model cooperation between home and school this month, and throughout the year, as we educate your child(ren) at LCA.
