Remote Learning Update

A lot has changed in the last week and the COVID-19 outbreak is causing disruption in all areas of our lives. What we would like to communicate to you today is Lansing Christian School’s commitment to your children’s education and our commitment to partnering with you during this time of rapidly changing circumstances.

As schools everywhere have closed, LCS is fully operating as a mission-based school, actively providing Christ-centered education that reflects our mission. LCS principals and teachers have developed a remote and distance learning plan that reflects our commitment to academic excellence, while also understanding of the importance of Christian community for all of our PreK-12 students. We plan to continually evaluate and adapt the learning plan as part of our commitment to excellence and our partnership with families.

While most parents will be playing a different role in their children’s education, LCS teachers are still committed to playing their role in educating your children and partnering with families in new and different ways. We plan to honor our commitment to communicate well with LCS families.

Our mission calls us to educate young men and women to the full extent of their God-given abilities. Even in this challenging time, we commit to doing just that.

Remote Learning Strategies

We have been gathering suggestions from outside resources and from our own community for remote learning strategies. Some students who have prior experience with homeschooling shared these tips:

• Wake up at a reasonable and scheduled time each day.
• Eating scheduled meals and getting dressed for school help with focus.
• Make an organized schedule to stay on task.
• Use the time you’d normally be at school to continue your learning.
• Don’t procrastinate. Take breaks. Get outside. Get moving.
• Use the regular school days well and take time to rest over the weekend.
• Communicate with your teachers!
