inclement weather reporting

With winter approaching, we wanted to review our inclement weather protocol for informing families of closures or delays.

Mrs. Hauser will send out a voicemail and text message to the phone number you provided in Renweb.  Please check your Renweb for the phone numbers you have provided.

There will also be a message on Facebook and Instagram.  It will also be listed on WFMZ.  It would be helpful if you would sign up for weather alerts from WFMZ.  


Warm Hands Warm hearts

LCA’s Student Council is leading a winter mitten and glove drive for local charities. Their goal is to collect donations now until Christmas break. As donations come in, mittens will be hung in the hallway for students to see their helpful impact! Thank you in advance for your help! Please bring all donations in by December 14th.


PiK my kid

In our ongoing efforts to enhance your children’s safety, we have decided to begin using the PikMyKid Dismissal App. Throughout the country, it has been proven to simplify dismissal, reduce traffic congestion, and most importantly, improve overall safety. The unique features of PikMyKid allow you, as parents, to easily change pick up modes, quickly delegate to an alternate individual for pickup, and even schedule for future pickup mode, pickup individual, and after care. This app allows you to be in full control of your child’s dismissal and it gives us, the school, complete information regarding dismissal and the ability to acknowledge every change and to instantly check your child’s dismissal status should you have a question.
We are very excited about this addition and know you will be too. We will be sending information out to you over the next few weeks and ask you to try it on your own. We will be fully implementing it on January 4th. To Learn a little more on your own, please check out the following link that will show you a few of the PikMyKid features.

Job Explorations Day 2022

We are excited to present our HS students with a variety of opportunities for career exploration throughout the school year. New for this year, we will be hosting a Job Explorations Day on Monday, December 19th. On this day, students will have the opportunity to not only network with professionals in a variety of career clusters, but also have the opportunity to ask questions of those professionals in careers that interest them. To help bring this to life, we are looking for professionals in the following areas to partner with us:

  • Military and Criminal Justice System
  • Helping Professions (i.e. teachers, counselors, people in the medical field) 
  • Technology, Engineering, and the Trades 
  • Ministry 

Interested parties must be able to commit to being at LCA from 8:30 AM to noon on Monday, December 19th, and be willing to discuss various aspects of their jobs with students from 7th to 12th grades. Breakfast will be provided.

Please sign up using the link below if you or someone you know is interested in participating. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at kvanaken@lcamustangs.org or call the school office 610-776-7301.
