A Letter From Ms. Dandelet
On the flip side, when we are forced to change due to a pandemic, we are also forced to be more resourceful and innovative. Instead of an open house this fall, we are going to be doing a "Social Media Blast" by sharing success stories from our families, teachers, and students.
The most important part is - WE NEED YOUR HELP! Please check out the video below to see how you can win LUA Swag AND gift cards to Donatelli's local Italian Restaurant in a monthly drawing!
This will be a ton of fun! Please join us by sharing one (or many stories) - EVERYONE at LUA has a success story! We will never use names publicly in our stories! As always, your privacy will be protected!

Are you wondering why Middle Schoolers have online learning days when K-5 has no school?
Because White Bear Lake busses our LUA students on an elementary time schedule, our LUA middle school students do not have the opportunity to attend school when WBL elementary schools are closed. Our solution (without adding additional days) is online learning days for middle schoolers on some of the days that K-5 doesn't have school.
Please note, this LUA practice was in effect prior to COVID-19. We do acknowledge that our experiences with distance learning have greatly improved our online learning days for middle schoolers. In fact, due to the practice of distance learning, there is no real change for middle schoolers on these days!
Learning Platform Change
Partnership with Tamarack
Leader, is working on a partnership with Tamarack Nature Center. We are excited for all of our K-8 students to enjoy this nature center and the experiences that it provides. This month our hybrid students will be taking part in a service project to help the nature center prepare for winter while also being able to have fun and explore!
