20-2018 Submission Public Hearing by the Board of Education of Lighthouse Community Charter Public Schools - Lighthouse Community Charter School - Petition and Proposed Charter - Grades K-8 - July 1, 2021 - June 30, 2026 (5 Year Renewal).
I support Lighthouse Charter School, I have 3 kids that currently go to this school, they have been a great support to my children. I haven't found any better school than Lighthouse because they are very supportive. They have many opportunity to the students, they prepare them to achieve their goals no matter what obstacles the students have.
Keep them open because they are a good school and I have learned a lot of curriculum from this school. It is a truly amazing school to be with the teacher are awesome and amazing i love all of the teachers.
Hi I am a 4th grade student and I want to share that this school is a really good school. It has taught me a lot over the years. It also taught me how to be a good friend.I have two older sisters. They also go to Lighthouse. If we didn't have lighthouse we will have to be separated in 3 different schools. (elementary, middle and high school).. Please let Lighthouse stay open. This school is very important not only for my family but for many more.
Lighthouse is an excellent school that provides high education to our children. Is a school with high standards and core values that others schools lack. My three girls go to lighthouse and their performance is excellent. Professors at lighthouse really care about students and work really hard to keep our students on track specially during this hard times. I believed that our children are going through a lot during this pandemic, and is really sad to hear them that their school may close. I ask you to take into consideration the wishes of our children and let their school to continue open.
Please have this school open. I have 2 kids in this school and for being their first year at lighthouse it has been the best experience ever. Love the attention the teachers give to the students and how they encourage them to keep growing on their education. I would hate to go back to a public school where I have had a really bad experience.
Quiero apoyar a la escuela aunque mis hijos tengan poco meses de haber entrado me siento orgullosa que pude lograr que entraran mis hijos a lighthouse porque es una escuela maravillosa
I support Lighthouse Charter School, I have 3 kids that attend this school and it has the best school that I’ve ever had my kids in. They are very supportive and prepare the students for college. My kids are also very happy to be part of Lighthouse Charter School, they have build great relationships not only with students but also with their teachers throughout the years.
Lighthouse is an amazing school that provides choice and opportunity for Oakland families. Lighthouse holds all of its students to high standards while building strong relationships and community. As a teacher, I believe Lighthouse is a place that students feel safe and loved and are excited to learn. Please renew our charter for 5 more years!
So many children that go to the school have expressed concerns that they're scared that their school be closed. They like the teachers they like the classes and they like the opportunities that this charter school affords them. I cannot imagine why the school district is even considering closing the school when it has done such great things for the children that have attended and are currently in attendance. It would be a grave mistake to close the school when they are doing such great things for children's education. Please do not close lighthouse charter.
Students at Lighthouse are engaging in rigorous, standards-aligned, meaningful tasks that are lifeworthy, intentional, and purposeful. Something very special about Lighthouse is how much agency students have and how much they lead their own learning. Even in my Kindergarten classroom, students are tracking their progress against a rubric or model to self-assess and reflect on if they are beginning, approaching, meeting or exceeding on a LT. They know their data and track, for example, how many letters and sounds they know. They can see how they did compared to the target. Then in Student-Led Conferences, they share their data with their families and set goals for themselves. They are excited and motivated to get better and grow their brains. Please renew our charter so we can continue to fight for educational equity and nurture students' growth mindset and leadership abilities!
I am the father of a son who goes to Lighthouse. To close the school would mean that my son would have to go back into a public school which we have worked so hard to get him out of. He has learned so much and has gotten so many opportunities at the school that I cannot imagine them closing it and him going back into a public school. This would be a horrible experience for a child like him, especially since they have the classes he needs and the support that he deserves. I urge OUSD to please keep lighthouse open because this would be an unimaginable mistake. It would be like a nightmare for our entire family. Please do not do this to our children.
Lighthouse is a strong example of an Oakland school! Lighthouse finds a great balance of love and rigor. Students feel supported and therefore push themselves to do hard work and learn every day. As a teacher, I have grown tremendously because of our strong framework of what good teaching looks like and sounds like. Please renew Lighthouse for another 5 years!
I have a son who attends this school and he has gotten a better education during distance learning and 3 months of schooling than he ever got at the other public school he attended. Shutting down Lighthouse would cause a detriment to his learning, his opportunities, and to me as a parent trying to get him into another public school after I waited so long to get him into this school. Lighthouse teachers and staff have put together a full day's schedule since day one of distance learning unlike my daughter's public school where she basically has 1 class a day. This is holding her back and causing a delay in learning. Lighthouse has been a beacon of hope that we needed and deserved. OUSD would be making a huge mistake in shutting this school down.
Please renew lodestar it is very important for our children to have a great education and through this time of covid lodestar has meet and achieved my expectations lodestar has been very supportive reliable at fostering a great learning experience for my children
I have a sixth grade student with a 504 plan who goes to Lodestar. The school his helping him learn by meeting his learning needs where he is at, and he is thriving! This was not the same when he was going to our local neighborhood school. Please renew Lodestar!
Lighthouse core values speaks for itself, Community, Integrity, Love, Social Justice and Agency. During the pandemic, Lighthouse has been able to pivot and improve distance learning! It is dedicated to ensuring all students Lighthouse should absolutely be renewed for the next 5 years!
