At a time in which remote learning has become the norm, it has become clear that home Internet service is not a luxury, but a necessity. As is the case in many pockets of Western North Carolina, LLCA realizes that this presents challenges for some families to obtain reliable Internet or even reliable cell service. While the school wants to help in any way for which we are staffed and equipped to do so, the limits of staff capacity require that families work in partnership with the school and assume responsibility for those issues that the school is not equipped to address.
Specifically, families are expected to address the following Five Connectivity Elements of our Distance Learning partnership:
