Theme(s): LGF – Connecting, Learning, Achieving<br />

The Frederick is broken down into four small academies, with each school housing students in grades 6 to 8. This<br />

makes it possible for all students and families to be known well. Parents take an active role in all aspects of the<br />

school.<br />

At LGF, we integrate the use of technology into the curriculum. Each student has his/her own laptop computer<br />

for use all day at school. Parents are offered technology training (in English, Spanish, or Somali) through the<br />

Tech Goes Home program and are given a new laptop at the end of the course. Parents are able to access<br />

student grades, teacher lessons/assignments on line and are able to communicate with teachers via phone<br />

and through the technology.<br />

What makes your school unique?<br />

1:1 laptops for learner, Technology, Mandatory Uniforms, Safe Learning Environment, Trauma/mental health<br />

supports, Parent Involvement, Out of School Time programs from 7:30am to 8pm (M – F) and Saturday Scholars<br />
