After School Program
Applications for our after-school program are located in the main office. The after-school program officially begins on September 7, 2010 from 3:15 pm – 6:00 pm. The fee is $50.00 per week.
Finally, I am asking all parents to send in to school (first day of school) a ‘disaster kit.’ This kit will contain: any medications your child takes regularly and will be supervised by the school nurse, dry food (cereal, granola bars, etc). Additionally you can include juice and/or bottled water. A change of clothing would also be useful. These kits will be stored in your child’s classroom. It is a precautionary measure only.
I invite you to visit LACS and witness the teaching and learning tools we use to enhance academic achievement. Furthermore, witness the rapid pace that Liberty Academy Charter School is accelerating with technology.
Dr. Derczo and I look forward to working with each of you this school year and invite you to visit. Our doors are always open. The first day of school is Wednesday, September 1, 2010 from 8:15am-12:30pm (half day).
Thank you as we continue to “Cultivate Excellence in Everything We Do”.
Educationally yours,
Dr. A. Villafane
