ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020
Through it all, LCA Is Stronger Together It’s fair to say that 2020 has been a year unlike any other. In February, the phrase “social distancing” was nonexistent, but it’s now in the common vernacular. Wearing a mask was limited to medical professionals and those in other specialty fields, and now we take our masks with us everywhere we go. Despite these most unusual and challenging times, the LCA community is stronger together.
We invite you to reflect back to last spring and recognize God’s providence for our community.
March 6: Legacy faculty and staff convened for an in-service meeting, just before Spring Break, when we began to understand the threat COVID-19 could pose to oncampus learning. The coronavirus had just started to gain attention in the United States. LCA families left for Spring Break unfamiliar with the concept of “distance learning,” and little did we know that we wouldn’t get to return to campus until fall.
March 14: The school’s executive leadership team convened for an all-day meeting to develop a COVID-19 crisis management plan and distance-learning strategy.
March 19: Governor Abbott issued an executive order closing schools until at least April 3.
March 2020 March 13: Gov. Greg Abbott declared a statewide public health emergency. In light of the governor’s proclamation, many faculty returned to campus early, sacrificing their final weekend of Spring Break, to develop plans for distance learning. Mr. McGee extended Spring Break for our students by one week while our teachers worked tirelessly to ensure that learning would continue.
March 15: Two days after Governor Abbott’s declaration, Jena Snyder and Lana Snear, our counseling team, contacted families to let them know that they would continue to receive support during distance learning. The counseling team also launched a video series with resources and messages designed to encourage parents and their children.
