  • Build A Class Web Page: Class web sites are quickly becoming the norm in many school districts.  Through a class web site, teachers can communicate with parents about what is happening in their child's classroom, provide explanations of units of study, grading and homework procedures as well as homework assistance.  The sites below are free and easy to use and generally only require a simple registration. Note: Any teacher interested in creating a class site and having it posted on the LCSD web site should contact Debby Baker.
