We are thrilled to announce the LCCS App!

Now you can access information about LCCS News, staff emails, lunch menus, school closings, and more on your phone or mobile device. Search for Learning Community CS in the Apple Store or in Google Play Store to download and install this free app!

In other news, we wanted to explain some improvements as to how we communicate with families:
 

1. The Honeywell Instant alert system will now ONLY be used in situations such as school closings, both scheduled half-days and unscheduled snow days, and other emergencies. (For example, like the time when an alert was sent out in the Fall after a major accident closed Kensington Avenue, impacting pickup at 3 p.m.)

2. The weekly communications from the school will return to its traditional home as “Friday Flyer,” to be released once at the end of the week.

We hope that these changes and the new app make it easier for you to get the information you need about the school.

Thanks to the efforts of Technology coordinator Kimberley Smith and PTO/Board member Tammy Walters, Google Expeditions chose LCCS as one of the test sites for it's new virtual reality classroom program. 

The Jersey Journal sent a photographer and has put online a slideshow of images. 

Students in 18 different classes got a chance to use the virtual reality devices - cardboard boxes with 3D lenses placed over smartphones. Through the Google developed app, they were able to "visit" places like India (as part of the 6th grade study on comparative religions) and learn about Native American life (as the 3rd grades studies the Lenape Indians of New Jersey.)

Students also got a chance to talk to the Google Expeditions coordinator, Fitzsimon Ogbo, and to give their feedback on the devices and the experiences. One the students' big questions, naturally was whether they will be available for sale. Fitzsimon let them know that they will be available by Christmas - the app is free and the device is about $5.
