🌟 Teacher Feature: Mr. DeLaCruz (Mr. DLC!) 🌟
This week, we’re celebrating the incredible Mr. DeLaCruz, known affectionately by his students as Mr. DLC — a teacher whose heart, creativity, and dedication shine in everything he does.
Mr. DLC currently teaches Art and will soon be taking on Middle School ELA, and his students absolutely love his lessons. His classes consistently have high attendance and strong engagement because he creates a warm, welcoming environment where students feel seen, supported, and encouraged. 🎨📚
But what truly sets Mr. DLC apart is what happens beyond the lessons. He provides support facilitation, working one-on-one with students and staying online long after class ends just to make sure they get the help they need.
Mr. DLC has a strong bond with all of his students — having deep, meaningful discussions, patiently guiding them, and genuinely showing that he has a heart for helping kids. He even re-taught himself geometry just so he could support a student who needed extra help.
We’re incredibly grateful to have such a caring, dedicated, and student-centered teacher on our team. 💙👏
Thank you, Mr. DLC, for making a difference every single day!

Happy Monday!!! It is the last week before final exams and assessments for fall semester. Be sure that you are in your Live Lessons, Bubble Groups, and Boot Camps this week.
These are super important to help you be prepared and successful in your courses and on your state assessments. We have seen that those students who attend live lessons regularly perform better on state assessments than those who do not. We will be doing data chats in January so you can see your progress on your assessments so far this year. We can't wait to see you in lessons and make sure everything is completed successfully this semester.
Remember all grades must be finished and passing by the end of next week so don't delay get your work in today!!!!

✨ Teacher Feature: Ms. Kerik-Lyman (Ms. K)! ✨
We’re excited to shine a spotlight on one of our newest teachers this year - Ms. Kerik-Lyman, or as our students know her, Ms. K! She decided to hop on our crazy train, and we couldn’t be more thankful to have her on board! 🚂💙
Ms. K teaches Middle School Math, Geometry, and Algebra 2, and she has jumped right into the world of virtual learning with energy and enthusiasm. With 21 years of teaching experience in physical classrooms, she brings a wealth of knowledge and a huge heart to our school. She loves working with students and families, and somehow she can’t go anywhere without running into a former student - she’s even teaching her former students’ kids now! 📚💛
Fun Fact: Ms. K recently visited and photographed the MotoAmerica track in Wisconsin - how cool is that? 🏍️📸
We’re so grateful to have her as part of our virtual family. Welcome, Ms. K! 🌟
