The Director’s Corner
It is an honor and privilege
to serve such outstanding
students, parents, and faculty
that make up the community
of Linwood Public Charter
School. At LPCS, I think you
will feel and experience a
sense of excitement as you
walk through the halls of our
school. I hope that you will
feel welcomed as you become involved with your
child’s school experiences.
Throughout the school year
you can stay on top of your
child’s progress through Parent-Teacher Conferences and
communication with your
child’s Academic Quality
Controller (AQC). Look for
diaries coming home from
school each day—
newsletters, invitations, updates, tips, and reminders.
Your communication
with us is very important. Please do
not hesitate to contact your child’s
AQC, whenever you
have a question or
concern.
I know you will take
Theme
part in your child’s
education by inquiring about their time spent at
school. Get involved as they
complete their homework or
seek your help on special
projects. Encourage your
child to read at least 20
minutes every night, and
quiz them on their notes. I
am confident that your child
will demonstrate greater motivation as you continue to
show interest in their academic and social experiences.
2014: Lights, Camera, Action!
We will certainly work on
our end to provide your
child with the best education
possible. Let’s work together
to make this an excellent
school year in every way!
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Vickie Carroll

Health Watch
Don’t Let the Flu Get Your Child
If your child has ever had the flu, you
know how bad it can make you feel.
To help avoid all that misery — as
well as possible health complications
— doctors now recommend that all
teens through age 18 get a flu vaccine
every year.
The flu season is from November to
April, with most cases occurring between late December and early March,
but the vaccine is usually offered between September and mid-November.
Getting the shot before the flu season
is in full force gives the body a chance
to build up immunity or protection
from the virus.
The Linwood SchoolBased Health Center will
begin offering flu shots to
all students within the
upcoming weeks. Flu
shot consent forms will
be sent home during the
first week of October.
Parents must complete
and sign the consent
form in order to have
their child(ren) receive
the flu shot. Remember
that the single best way
to protect your child
against the flu is to have
him/her vaccinated each
year. Parents may contact the Health Center at
868-4552 to have questions answered regarding the flu shot.

Season!
