Lake City Virtual Academy

Dear Trojan Families, We recognize our role in supporting you and your students educationally during these times. We are pleased that we have been able to offer exceptional In-Person educational experiences, as well as excellent Virtual education. We are reaching a point in the year where the State of Michigan requires that our students remain in their selected educational options for a certain length of time. We are requesting that as parents and students that if you are considering switching that you do so by this Wednesday, September 23rd. If circumstances require for you to switch after this date, please contact your student's counselor for options. As always we are honored that with all the choices you have, that you continue to choose to be Lake City Trojans. Together we will continue to set the bar for excellence in education. Sincerely, Lake City Administrative Team

It has been quite a different start to the school year, with some students attending Virtual, while others have decided to join In Person this year. I just want to take a moment to thank our parents for their patience as we have worked through transportation issues, drop off and pick up, staggered starts and dismissals, technology challenges, and the many logistical changes that we have had to make this year. We are working to smooth out busing run times which will improve; especially after we are able to determine which students will not be riding, and looking at the efficiencies of which bus may be a better option for students. I have had many of you thank us for the work we have done, and I have shared that with our staff. We truly appreciate your trust in Lake City Schools. We believe we are off to a great start this year, please enjoy your Labor Day Weekend and we look forward to seeing our students on Tuesday. Kimberly Blaszak Superintendent

If you have not registered for busing transportation, please contact Transportation Director Connie Asher; lctransportation@lakecitytrojans.org. It is very important that families are registered in order for us to implement a plan for the health and safety of our students. Students using LC Buses will be required to wear a mask while on the bus. We have also implemented a staggered start and dismissal to reduce the number of students on our buses. MS/HS school start will be 7:30 AM and dismiss @2:35 PM. Elementary will begin @ 8:15 AM and dismiss @ 3:40 PM. Thank you for working with us as we work to provide a safe and healthy environment for your students! Kim Blaszak
