We host three multiage classrooms, K-1, 2-3 and 4-5. We do many projects together in the spirit of the one room schoolhouse that used to stand across the field from our present location. It is our goal to foster high academic achievement in all our students. We use individual and multiage curriculum to reach this end. We believe that strong partnerships with families and other community members is key to student achievement. We expect all families to be involved in their child’s education. There are many opportunities including volunteering at school, helping at work party events, attending portfolio events and conferences and supervising your child’s homework. We are fortunate to have many community members who do not have children in our school, yet put in a lot of time reading with our students, helping write grants, and working in our library. They make LCLC a richer place. We also want to foster this type of community involvement and responsibility in our students. To this end we engage the students in as many aspects of the school as possible. We have a school garden. Students help maintain our facility. There are many peer tutoring opportunities. We have daily school meetings. This is your school and we encourage and invite you to join us as often as possible. We are looking forward to working with you.
