Chromebooks Were Sent Home Yesterday
Dear Parents/Guardians,
All blended(on-campus) students were given a Chromebook with a case and a charger on Thursday, Jan 14. Students who were absent yesterday will receive their devices upon returning to the school.
Key Points:
Students will be responsible for taking their assigned Chromebook to and from school every day.
It will be VERY important that students charge their Chromebooks each night. We recommend charging when they arrive at home and placing the charged Chromebook in their backpack for the next day before going to bed.
There is potential financial responsibility to each parent included with this program. We strongly recommend purchasing insurance to cover any lost or broken items. Insurance information is provided in the contract linked below.
All activity that occurs on LISA Academy Chromebooks is monitored by our security systems and filters.
If you have any questions please contact Ms. Blair at blair@lisaacademy.org.

Aftercare Program Revisions and Updates
As of January 4, 2021, LISA Academy West High School started providing an Afterschool Study Hall program from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM. There will be a fee of $100 per month for your student to attend Study Hall. During that time we will have student tutors and teachers available for tutoring purposes. We will also provide students with Chromebooks to use during that time.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact Ms. Blair via email at Blair@lisaacademy.org.
Free Meals
Regardless of household income, all children can access a free and nutritious school breakfast and lunch each day. USDA Waiver allows ALL LISA students to receive breakfast and lunch at no cost for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year.
Also, on Fridays, J&F will still provide breakfast and lunch to on-site students as usual. Students that select to attend virtually on Fridays may pick up a Grab & Go breakfast and lunch at either Chenal or North HS on on Fridays between 10am-12pm . Please encourage parents to use this link Virtual Meal Request. to request the Grab & Go meals.
