PARENTS: Leverett’s Chapel ISD is looking for parents to become involved in the SHAC. SHAC is the school health advisory council. SHACs are volunteer groups of parents, community members, and school staff. The majority of SHAC members must be parents who do not work at the school. SHAC ensures that community values are reflected in health education. SHAC is the parent’s voice to the school about health education. SHAC meets at least 4 times during the school year. Our SHAC will be meeting in January to discuss what SHAC is and the new state law for next year’s sexual health curriculum. If you’re interested, please email Nurse Amy at athompson@leverettschapelisd.net or call 903-834-3181 X507.

LC Reminders: 1. This Friday, December 17th, will be an early release from school for the staff and the students at 12:30. Afternoon bus routes will run early. 2.
