Clever is an easy way for your scholar to learn with all of the online programs Leman Virtual Academy provides. We use Clever so scholars can have all of their digital resources in one place without the need to remember multiple usernames and passwords.
Schoology is a learning management system for schools in which our teachers can create, manage, and share assignments and resources. Our teachers and scholars also use it to communicate individually, and as a group, and post about upcoming events.

I graduated from the University of North Carolina, Greensboro with a double major in Elementary Education and English. I hold two Master’s degrees from Winthrop University in Curriculum and Instruction with a concentration in TESOL, and Educational Leadership, respectively.
I have over 26 years of experience working in grades K-12 in general education and as an English as a Second Language teacher.I also have been an adjunct instructor at the university level teaching EL and Reading Methods courses. I have previous leadership experience as the district EL coordinator, the virtual principal for Leman Virtual Academy, and an assistant principal at a neighboring charter school.

Office
Hello! My name is Grace Romo, and I am lucky to serve our scholars and families at Leman Virtual Academy as the Administrative Assistant as well as our Central campus as the Scholar Accountability Clerk.
I am passionate about supporting students and helping them succeed. I have experience working with grades K-3 in the classroom setting, which strengthened my ability to support young learners. I also have experience in higher education and student services, including college advising, where I enjoyed guiding students through their academic journeys. As a proud military spouse and mom to two daughters, I value resiliency, adaptability, and creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels supported.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading mystery and thriller novels, and spending quality time with my family. I look forward to connecting with our families and supporting our scholars!
Teachers
Hello! I’m Sheri Smith, and I’m excited to begin my second year at Leman Virtual Academy of Excellence, where I’ll be teaching 5th and 6th grade this year. I have over 10 years of teaching experience, working with students from Pre-K through 4th grade.
When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me reading a great book—especially biographies—trying new recipes in the kitchen, or spending time with my husband and our four children. I look forward to partnering with students and families for a wonderful year of learning.
