What is ELC?

The Extended Learning Center (ELC) offers daily support for the students at Lakeside. 

 

This is done in many ways. The primary way we offer support is by helping students that are assigned to the ELC for study hall. As they work on their assignments, help is readily available in many subject areas, particularly in math and science. Included in these are Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Physical Science and Biology. 

The ELC is also intended for those students who may eventually begin to struggle in certain academic areas and need a little extra guidance. Many students take advantage of the ELC to help get them back on track. 

Most students assigned to the ELC as freshmen benefit from organizational help. This comes in the form of organizing papers for specific subjects, organization of lockers and keeping track of assignments with the use of a planner. These types of skills get students started in the right direction, helping make success in high school a smoother, straighter path.

The ELC is staffed with five instructors: (BR) Mrs. Erin LaPointe, Mrs. Sophie Dorn and  Mrs. Denice Burger. (FR) Mrs. Jessie Schroeder (Guided Studies) and Mrs. Shelly Coron (Director). Mrs. Coron, the Extended Learning Director and LLHS Alum, has her MA of Special Education (Cross- Categorical licensure K-12), and Synod Certification through MLC. She brings 10 years of experience working previously with special needs students within a hands-on environment.

Whatever amount of support our students need, Lakeside teachers are determined to assist them. With the Extended Learning Center, each student receives the support necessary to be successful in high school.
