 The parents of more than 1200 Louisiana students have learned that one of the responsibilities of a free, virtual charter education for their child is being right there with the child’s day-to-day school activities.
“At Louisiana Connections Academy, our parents are actively involved in a student’s achievement and accountability,” said Principal Caroline Wood. “Our parents serve as learning coaches with their children.” This is actually a role most parents look forward to playing. After all, some parents enrolled their child in a virtual, public charter school like Louisiana Connections Academy because of the flexibility it allows for planning the family schedule. “Being a learning coach to my three kids has been gratifying to help them achieve academically while also giving our family a chance to have time to handle our personal schedules,” said parent and learning coach Caprice Abed. As Louisiana Connections Academy’s Parent Outreach Coordinator, Shelly Centanni is quick to point out, a Learning Coach is not a substitute teacher. Rather, the parent or guardian at home is a facilitator ensuring that their student is completing assignments and attending on-line lessons. “In early grades, the parent ensures the child is practicing necessary skills taught by the teacher and through the curriculum in order to master grade level concepts. But these parent responsibilities decrease as a child progresses to middle and high school and becomes a more independent learner,” said Ms. Centanni. Lusher Charter School is proud to announce that the school’s orchestra and cast of “Hello, Dolly!” won a $10,000 prize to support the school’s music program.
Lusher Charter School’s Orchestra and the cast of “Hello, Dolly!” recorded a video performance of the all-time classic song from the musical to compete in a contest sponsored by Popeye’s “Love That Music” Competition. All public and private schools were invited to submit a video to be judged on artistic merit, band dynamics, confidence, energy, group cohesion, interpretation of style, originality, and rhythmic control. Judges included Grammy Award Winner Irvin Mayfield, The New Orleans Jazz Orchestra Musicians, and Jazz Studies faculty from the University of New Orleans. The Lusher students won first place in the regional division and overall winner across divisions.
