A Note from the Administrator
As we began planning for what we all knew would be a very unusual school year, our entire leadership team here at LCA was determined to create as safe of a learning environment as possible. We already knew—and research has continued to demonstrate—that students learn considerably better in-person than through even the best remote methods of teaching. Along with that safe environment, the leaders and each teacher here desired to continue our school’s rich tradition of high academic standards.
While we hoped and prayed we would not see any cases of COVID-19 among our students or their families, as you all know, we did have a positive case in our high school a couple of weeks ago. The affected student is recovering and all of our high school students, Mrs. Mansfield, and I have been working from home since last Tuesday.
As we mentioned in the previous edition of our Knightline newsletter, we have plans in place that we feel will provide the best possible learning environment for our students if we must shift any other part of our school to remote learning for any period of time. We are equally determined to help any student who must quarantine at home because of exposure outside of school.
We are redoubling our efforts to keep our school clean, sanitized, and as full of fresh air as possible, even starting to measure levels of carbon dioxide in our classrooms next week. As far as we can tell, the student who tested positive was not exposed here and no spread has happened at LCA. In fact, we are learning that schools overall are very safe places and that the novel coronavirus does not like to spread with the precautions most schools are taking as a regular course of education this year.
I know I can speak for everyone here when I thank you for your support, especially this year with the new challenges we are all confronted with. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please reach out. We are all still learning together how to fight the spread and stay healthy. As partners in your child’s Christian education, we all desire to work with you to see God’s best in the life of your child.
Mr. Bryan Fry
