Standardized Dress:
At Lehigh Valley Academy, we believe a standardized dress code for students fosters a focused attitude toward learning. We strive to create an atmosphere of equality by removing the name brands and status symbols that are subtle, yet often distinguishing signs of social standing. There are two versions of the dress code at LVA. Click on your child's grade level to view the appropriate dress code below.
Transportation:
All LVA students are entitled to transportation provided by the students’ sending district. Upon enrollment at LVA, the student will fill out a Request for Transportation form, available under Forms Library. LVA administration will communicate with the student’s home district to make the necessary arrangements for transportation. Each school year, information regarding bus transportation is sent home to parents. Parents who move to a new home, within or outside of the original sending district, must inform LVA of the family’s new address. LVA administration will contact the student’s sending district to inform them of the change. Buses drive into the parking lot located between the elementary and primary/middle schools to drop off and pick up students.
Emergency Closings:
LVA follows the inclement weather policy in place in the Bethlehem Area School District. In some cases, a school district in which a student resides declares a delay but LVA has a normal start time. We allow the student to use his/her normal busing system and arrive to school late without being considered tardy. It is encouraged, however, that parents bring their student(s) to school on time to avoid losing instructional time.
In other cases, the Bethlehem Area School District declares a delay or closing, differing from other area school districts. It is important to remember that the decision of BASD (and thus LVA) supersedes any and all other school districts in which the LVA student resides. In the case of a delay, school personnel will not be present at the normal starting time. Announcements regarding school delays and closings are always posted as early as possible. This information should be available by 6:30am at the latest. LVA is generally on Channel 69 or on the following radio stations and website:
WLEV-FM (My 100.7) WCTO-FM (Cat County 96)
WODE-FM (The Hawk) WEST-AM (1400)
WBYN-FM (107.5 Alive) WFMZ website http://www.wfmz.com/
If neither broadcast contains any pertinent information, please follow the announcement of the Bethlehem Area School District.
Health and Wellness Information:
LVA recognizes that student wellness and proper nutrition are related to students' physical well-being, growth, development and readiness to learn. We are committed to providing a school environment that promotes student wellness, proper nutrition, nutrition education and regular physical activity as part of the total learning experience.
