Lazear Charter Academy has taken Unconditional Education to new heights in 2017! The Culture and Climate Team, also known as Culture Club, has expanded to include ALL Lazear staff members. Each staff member is a part of a school climate committee that meets monthly. The 5 committees are School Identity, Student Groups, Parent Engagement, PBIS, and Tier 2 and 3 Services. Each committee has a lead who is a teacher or support staff at Lazear. With multiple powerhouse leaders and the entire school as the engine, Culture Club has made sweeping positive changes at Lazear this year. The School Identity group engaged the student body in selecting new school colors and a new mascot. The PBIS committee uncovered a behavioral referral trend in 1st and 5th graders during recess time and responded by creating a new mentorship program to support students at the tier 2 level. The Student Groups committee created 4 basketball teams (2 boys teams and 2 girls teams), led student council in launching our school store, and started Lazear's first Gay Straight Alliance for middle school students. With so many dramatic improvements in one year, there's nothing this scrappy little school can't achieve!
