We would like to thank all of our Raptor parents who were able to come out on June 1st for our end-of-year town hall meeting. We had several key takeaways from the meeting and want to reiterate a few responses. We are planning on hosting several town hall meetings during the 2022-2023 school year.
Communication: We are working hard to have good communication systems in place. Going forward, we pledge to provide a minimum of a two-week notice of any major event that will involve parents. We will communicate events via the newsletter, Bright Arrow, and the school's Facebook Page. Also, we ask that parents remember that communication is a two-way exchange. If you have a concern, please call a school administrator. We will be happy to speak with you on the phone or meet in person.
School Safety: Safety is our top priority. We have a risk management team that constantly assesses safety at LLCA and immediately addresses any concerns. We have also invited Chief Humphries of the Lake Lure Police Department and Chief Waycaster of the Lake Lure Fire Department to work with us this summer to revise our school safety plans. We do plan to conduct full perimeter lock-down drills this coming school year, and we will let parents know in advance of the projected timeframe, but not the specific time.
Vaping Concerns: Like many of our parents, we, too, are concerned that vaping is on the rise. It is dangerous for our students' health, and students who are caught vaping will be suspended. We do provide education on the ill effects of vaping, and we also thoroughly investigate any reports of vaping. If parents are made aware of any students using or selling vaping items, parents can make a report using the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System located on our school website.
School Lunch Program: A school lunch committee is being formed to explore options for providing nutritional meals for our Raptors. The first meeting will take place in early August. If you are interested in joining this committee, please email Ms. Cohen at bcohen@llcharter.org We encourage parents to share their ideas and suggestions regarding our school lunch program.
