We’re sure you've heard by now that the state of NC has changed from Powerschool to a new program called Infinite Campus. We are all learning this program together, but here are some resources that may help you navigate this transition. https://kb.infinitecampus.com/help/parents-and-students 

Save the Date! On Thursday, September 25, we plan to take 11th-12th graders to ICC for a CACRAO Regional College Fair. CACRAO partners with over 100 2-year and 4-year colleges and universities from North Carolina, South Carolina, and nationwide to provide college and career opportunities for your next steps after high school. More details to follow soon!

We will offer the PSAT in October for interested 10th-11th grade students. The cost will be $18 per student. We will send home a letter with more details and ordering information next week. https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/sat-suite-benefits-students-parents/why-take-psat

From Nurse Redmon

The Lion’s Club of Lake Lure will be coming to LLCA to offer FREE vision screenings on September 26th. Information and consent forms have been sent out. Please fill those forms out and return them as soon as possible. Students will not be able to have a vision screening without the consent form.

Thank you for reminding your students to be diligent with handwashing/sanitizing at school and maintaining proper respiratory hygiene. These simple measures make a difference for everyone and help mitigate the spread of viruses and bacteria. Germs can bring down a whole family one by one. That can be a huge burden on most families. Get in the habit now before the heavy respiratory season arrives! 

Elementary Clothes Closet

Elementary Clothes Closet is accessible each week on Fridays from 8:00-9:00am in Mrs. Kristin’s Room. Donations are accepted at any time and can be dropped off at the front office or sent with  your student.
