Dear Parents, Students, Alumni, Faculty and Staff,

In an effort to ensure that Lee-Scott Academy remains a value-added educational experience for its students, we, the Board of Trustees and the administration, have embarked on our first “visioning” event. The goal of this visioning event is to articulate a “vision statement” that will serve as the guiding precept toward which the leadership of the school will focus its collective energies. Simply, a vision is an explanation of what LSA seeks to become as a school

in the future.

The question we will ask of you is “As a school, what do you feel Lee-Scott Academy should strive to become in the next 5 years?”

In shaping what LSA will become as a school, we need the help of all LSA stakeholders – faculty, staff, parents, students, and alumni. To this end, in the coming weeks, we will reach out to you to solicit input on what you believe LSA should establish as its future direction. You may be invited to participate in a variety of short online surveys, small focus groups, or collaborative group brainstorming sessions.

Your participation is very important! When you are asked to participate, I hope that you’ll engage with us as your input will help shape the vision of our school.

Regards,

Casey G. Cegielski

Parent and supporter of LSA

Chair, Board Visioning Committee
