Echo Newspaper - Issue 3

Here is the latest issue of the Echo newspaper, created by LLA students.

After School Clubs - Winter Session, January 12 - February 20

Registration for the winter session of after-school clubs will begin on January 5th and run through January 7th. Registration will be very different from the fall session. We have decided to try this out in hopes that more students will have the opportunity to join these clubs and not be excluded if parents aren't able to make it to the school in the morning. 

We are all accustomed to the lottery system since we are in a Charter School, right?

1. There will be THREE days for registration: Monday, Jan 5th promptly at 8:00 am to Wednesday, January 7th at 12 pm.
2. E-mail your choices in the order of preference to llaafterschoolclubs@gmail.com. 
3. If your student is selected for the after school club, you will be notified on Wednesday afternoon. 
4. You will then have until Friday, January 9th at 4:00 pm to drop off your payment in the PTO box in the office.
5. If payment is not received, the club slot will go to the next student on the list.

The After School Club Committee will be picking students by the following criteria:

• If there are enough spots, all students will get in.
• If parents are teaching a club, their children will receive priority.
• A lottery will determine participants.
• Families will be kept together if possible.

**Several of the clubs are needing assistants. The Spanish Club leader would like to have 5 students who speak Spanish to help. The Art Club needs 4 committed parents each week. The Science Club NEEDS an assistant. Volunteer assistant needs are also specified in the calendar below. Those that volunteer to help will receive priority for registration.
