SPRING PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES
It is almost time for our spring round of Parent Teacher Conferences. We plan to hold these the same way we did in the fall, virtually (preferred) or over the phone. Our plans for the upcoming spring round of conferences includes the following:
1. Parent teacher conferences will be conducted virtually (preferred) or over the phone (if arrangements cannot be made for a virtual conference).
2. All parent teacher conferences will take place between Feb. 4 - Feb. 11.
3. Scheduling, done by the classroom teachers via sign-up genius, will begin during the week of Jan. 25 . Scheduling for conferences will not take place through the office.
4. If parents are not able to confer virtually via Google Meet, please indicate that to your child's teacher on the scheduling form. The teacher will then conduct the conference via phone on the scheduled date and time.
5. If parents desire a conference with a specials teacher, please indicate that on your scheduling form. Your child's teacher will pass that message to the specials teacher who will then contact you to schedule a separate conference.
6. If your child has multiple classroom teachers (grades 5-8) you will only be able to have a conference with one homeroom teacher. Teachers in these grades are being given time to confer with each other and cooperatively plan for conferences. So, the teacher you meet with will be well positioned to pass on information from your child's other teachers. We apologize for this limitation. We believe that the virtual format will work, and it is our best avenue for this spring's round of conferences, but it will force a fair amount of extra work for all of our teachers. This work, in addition to cooperative faculty planning, requires us to limit 5th-8th teacher schedules to one specific class of students.
a. 5L – Naomi Lyzenga
b. 6A – Amy Hoekzema
c. 6B – Kristin Lautenbach
d. 7A – Lori Bolt
e. 7B – Curt DeYoung
f. 8A – Matt Veltema
g. 8B – Tim Leugs
Thank you for your cooperation. We look forward to this manner of communication with you.

PRAYING FOR LEGACY!
We are continuing with praying for a couple classes per week, students and families. Prayer is a vital part of LCS. We pray daily and often as needs are brought to our attention; however, we also want to focus prayer on each of our families as the year continues. Our school newsletter lists the classrooms that will be the focus for the week. You can check the school directory for the class lists. Each student and their family is an important part of the kingdom of God. Starting next week we will be praying for:
- Mrs. Vargas 3/4 spanish immersion class
- 8th grade class section A

IMPORTANT CALENDAR CHANGE
Calendar Change: NO SCHOOL - MARCH 12
Dear families, you may recall that our school is currently working through accreditation with Christian Schools International. Much work has been taken on since the accreditation process began, and our school is now at the point at which our teachers need dedicated time to conduct a self-study of our school. This self study includes documenting evidence and reporting reflections on a number of "indicators" that measure our work to live out our mission.
To have the time needed to work on this self study, the Board has chosen to dedicate Friday, March 12 as an accreditation work day, meaning we will have no school that day in order to give our teachers a full day of uninterrupted work. The Board recognizes that changing an established school calendar may create problems, so thank you for your understanding and support as our school studies our work to prepare Christ Followers and Kingdom Builders.
