HIGH SCHOOL
Mr. Craig Smith (principal) and Mr. Marcus Funchess (assistant principal)
"Given the amount of uncertainty we had heading into this school year, we are so proud of the adaptability demonstrated by our students from the opening of school remotely in August through the transition to in-person hybrid. Our students have done a fantastic job following our safety protocols and health safeguards, especially with the requirement of masks being worn at all times and assisting in maintaining proper social distancing within our classrooms. Our ability to operate safely and successfully is a direct reflection of buy-in from all stakeholders, especially our students. From the very beginning, we were all in this together as one community; we thank our teachers, staff, students and families for Being Your Best and look forward to a successful final stretch to a school year unlike any other.”

MIDDLE SCHOOL
Dr. Cherié Graham (principal) and Mr. Brian Bauer (assistant principal)
"The phrase, 'We're in this together,' has taken on a whole new meaning for us this year. Parents have demonstrated patience and flexibility through the shifting dynamics this year has presented. Our students have shown an uncommon resilience through some of the most challenging of circumstances. We applaud our staff's embrace of the team approach, which has helped us stay afloat during this ever-changing academic year and continue to be awe-struck by their tenacity, fueled by their love for their students. Words cannot express our gratitude for the combined efforts of our stakeholders, who have made this school year a success. Here's to a strong finish to the 2020-21 school year!"

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Ms. Michelle Holland (principal) and Ms. Melanie Latza (assistant principal)
"What a year this has been! We are so proud of our teachers, parents and students for their perseverance and grace as we partner together more than ever in 2020-2021. As we write this message, we are excited to bring back all of our ES students (K-4) for in-person learning, four days a week, with our phased-in approach to Plan A. We hope that this will pave the way for some normalcy for all while we keep our staff and students healthy. We will share how it is going with updates throughout the next several weeks. Let’s end the school year strong and TOGETHER!”

Recent NC Legislation Allowing Plan A for HS and MS
As we posted to Schoology last week, last Wednesday the Governor unexpectedly announced proposed legislation that would allow for public middle and high schools to operate in Plan A (no social distancing required). This bill passed the general assembly and the Governor signed it into law last Thursday evening. On Monday, the Safe Schools Committee gathered to review and discuss next steps for LNC only to learn a few hours later that the legislation did not include the state’s nearly 200 charter schools. On Wednesday, new legislation was filed to allow charter schools the same flexibility and choice as traditional public schools, and as of this publication’s release, we are awaiting its outcome. Parents can contact state officials to express their opinions.

PARENT SURVEY
Every March we ask our parents to provide us with valuable feedback on a host of school topics. Parent input helps us better understand school climate and assists the board of education with strategic planning. The pandemic has required us to shift our planning so we will be surveying our parents later than usual this year. We look forward to hearing from you and returning to strategic planning in the upcoming months.

Due to COVID, we’ve not been able to unveil and celebrate our Elevate upgrades as we had planned! But your MS students are benefiting from these improvements every day during school and recess and so is your HS or MS lacrosse, soccer, football or track athlete! With our families’ partnership, we’ve achieved the following, most recently the press box pictured here!
- Expanded instructional space at the middle school
- Increased safety and security at the middle school
- Upgraded Knights Field to turf
- Upgraded the LNC Track to rubber
- Reconfigured and resurfaced our campus drive and middle school parking lot to improve carpool, facility parking and overall, elevate our campus appearance to be more in line with our level of educational offering.
These exciting upgrades are all part of our #ElevateLNC capital project and we invite you to learn more here. We still have work to do! We need your help to build the project’s final piece -- Knights Field House. If EVERY high school, middle school or rising MS family chips in, we can raise the money still needed to complete our Elevate project. Set up a one-time donation to LNC here or contribute on a recurring basis here. Thank you for contributing to your child’s educational experience!

Top Seniors
Congratulations to the Class of 2021 Top Seniors! The seniors receiving this award have distinguished themselves amongst their peers as well-rounded, model LNC students.
|
|
We welcomed several new teachers to LNC at the beginning of 2021: |
|
Laura Cook (8th grade ELA)
"I have a bachelor's degree in music performance (viola) and a master's degree in English: rhetoric and composition. My husband and I originally hail from New York but have lived in NC for over 25 years where our four adult children and five grandchildren also live. I have been teaching in the public schools for over 30 years, first as a music educator, and then as an English and social studies teacher. So glad to be part of the LNC team!"
|
|
Jennifer Hayes (counselor grades 6 & 7)
"My name is Jennifer Hayes and I live in Huntersville with my husband, Phillip, and our three children – all of whom are LNC middle schoolers. I have masters' degrees in both social work and school counseling. I spent many years as a social worker in Washington, DC, helping at-risk youth, and was most recently a school counselor at Huntersville Elementary. In my free time, you can find me enjoying the outdoors with my two energetic dogs, Franklin and Fletcher."
|
|
Kristy Ballard (6th grade math)
"I graduated from Liberty University with my master’s in elementary education. I have a passion for teaching and growing students academically and socially. My family is my world and I wouldn’t be where I am without them."

As an extension of January's alumni panel discussion, a medical alumni panel was held in February. Eight former Lake Norman Charter students, now working in medical professions, joined our PreMed Club officers in a discussion of their career pathways. The officers led the discussion and around 50 students listened in with the ability to ask questions of the panelists. Be on the lookout for more career discussions.
We encourage our LNC alumni to stay connected to former classmates and their alma mater by joining the LNCharter Alumni Facebook page and/or LinkedIn page. We use these sites to keep alumni posted on events of interest to them happening on our campus. We ask you to keep us up to date on what you are doing by filling out the student information google form.

LNC STUDENTS LEARNING, LEADING AND SERVING! |
|
ES students created a collaborative art piece in an effort to bring joy, and a hopefully a smile, to the faces of their peers. Students studied the work and life of pop artist Romero Britto, and designed pop art positive words and hearts using a watercolor resist technique. |
|
MS student Eric Chi completed his Eagle Scout project at the ES campus. His love for our country will allow our students to learn all about the states in a fun and interactive way. He also presented our school with $262 for instructional materials.
|
|
To earn their Scout awards, senior Alex Nutter dug out and crafted a recess area for elementary students, and sophomore Jay Blackwelder helped lay bricks along the side of the ES building as well as built stairs leading from the parking lot to the ES field and the lower playground, eliminating the need for ES kids to walk down the hill. Freshmen Claire Gustafson and Sara Freeman created "buddy benches" for ES students to share and make friends. What a wonderful way for our HS students to give back to their fellow students. |

Mother-Kid March
In March, we celebrate MS mothers and kids and the importance of the time they spend together. Studies show that spending individual time with your children reaps benefits that last a lifetime. We encourage moms to set aside time this month to do an activity with each of their children one-on-one. This can be anything you and your child enjoys, according to their interests and abilities. While you are participating in the activity, take a picture of the two of you laughing, hugging, talking or just being together. Upload the picture using this form.

Honoring Dr. King's Legacy
Continuing with our initiative to educate our students on the diversity that we have at our school as well as in our world, students were tasked to share their thoughts on what they believe Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. meant when giving his "I Have a Dream" speech. Nirvigna Narayan (8th grade) and Zabella Salamanca (7th grade) shared their videos explaining what the speech meant to them: https://youtu.be/IEHqLdkN5lg
|
Builders' Club members took to heart the legacy of Dr. King by using their day off of school on January 18 as a day to serve. Members picked up trash in their neighborhoods, one even cleaned the car out for their mother! Some kids donated cookies and grocery items to the Angels and Sparrows Soup Kitchen, others created cards to send to people, and some donated toiletries to a neighbor in need. An artistic student painted kind messages on rocks, leaving them on a path for their neighbors to see and be encouraged. Others went even further by collecting shoes and donating to the Hope House Foundation, donating books to Goodwill, and organizing and cleaning their neighborhood Little Lending Library.
We are proud of our students for modeling our motto: Together we learn, lead and serve.

Employment Opportunities Close to Home
LNC is always seeking outstanding, qualified and diverse individuals should we have opportunities. Many do not realize that even though we are a charter school, we DO participate in the state retirement plan!

New High School Counseling Website
Have you had a chance to check out the new HS Counseling website? Your HS counselors created this new resource in an effort to organize important information for our high school students and their families in a more user-friendly way. The website can be found in the Resources folder of several Schoology groups, including LNC2HSP, the four HS “class of” groups and HS Student News. We recommend that you sit with your student and peruse the website so you are aware of all that it offers.

Student Information Changes
Have you moved this year, changed your phone number or email address or added someone to your carpool or the list of people picking up your student? If so, please let the school know so we can update our records for your child.
All address, email, phone number and emergency contact changes can be communicated to the school using an easy to complete Student Information Update google form. Using this form ensures your updated information gets sent to all staff members who need it. Sharing this information in a timely manner will eliminate a gap in communications being sent to you as stakeholders in the LNC family. This form can be reached via the hyperlink above or on our website under the About Us tab.

LNC Family Directory
You can use the LNC Family Directory to find out who is in your neighborhood, who is involved in the same activities as your student, organize play dates, birthday parties, carpool and more.

Immunizations
Is your child up to date on their immunizations? It may seem early to be thinking about 7th grade or 12th grade immunizations requirements, but your child may be receiving immunizations that will be required for these milestones at some time during this next year at their annual physical. We ask that you make sure they are up to date on their immunizations and provide a new immunization record to the school.
The North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 130-A-152(a)) require immunizations for every child present in this state. Every parent or guardian is responsible for ensuring that their child(ren) receives the required immunizations. Please look over the immunize.nc.gov website for information on the required immunizations for all school-aged children.
If you have any questions, please contact your campus registrar.

LNC Retirements
LNC recently said "goodbye" to two well-respected and well-loved staff members.
|
Charita Justice retired from LNC on December 31. She joined LNC in August, 2003 when LNC was a grades 5-8 school. Throughout her almost 18 years of teaching 8th grade ELA Ms. Justice had a tremendous impact on 8th graders, and their grammar, punctuation and spelling are all better as a result of her teaching. In January, Charita moved to enjoy life in Arizona and being grandma to her two adorable grandchildren.
|
Jane Vizard retired from LNC on January 31. Jane started with the high school in 2007 as the first high school registrar and served in that role until her retirement. During her time at Charter, Jane saw the high school grow from just 100 9th graders in the modulars across the street from our current location, to our current population of 800 on our new campus. Jane and her husband, David, plan to move to South Carolina and enjoy retirement. |
Engagements
Congratulations to 2nd grade teacher Anna Moore upon her December engagement to Hunter Clary!
