Upcoming Student Holidays
Just a reminder we will not have school on 1/17 or 1/20. These days are a teacher workday and MLK Day.
Jackets
Just a reminder that only Lead Academy jackets may be worn inside the building. Students may wear any jacket outside. If you need to purchase a jacket, please contact Mrs. Steadman.
Cold Weather
Our policy for outside play during cold times is 40 degrees. It must be 40 or above for students to go outside for classes or recess.
School Fees and Balances
As a charter school, we operate off a very tight budget and every dollar counts. We maximize every dollar to have direct impact on students. With that said, it is very important that all school fees and lunch balances are taken care of in a timely fashion. Notices are sent home frequently as a reminder. Currently, any student with a negative balance of more than $50 will have all money turned into the front office (field trips, events, and other fees) applied directly to that debt first per board policy. Our board is also working on an updated debt policy which will be published in October. Anytime you need assistance or a payment plan, please reach out to us and we will work something out. If you have questions, please let us know.
