In order to be a lunch volunteer or chaperone any field trip at LCA, you must complete the Validity Screening process. If you are planning to chaperone an overnight trip, there is a second step outlined below to complete a required Biometric/fingerprint background check. Information for both the Validity Screening and Biometric/fingerprint background check is below:

Are you a new LCA family for the 2022-23 school year? If so, be sure to check out our 2022-23 New Family Guide. This is also a great resource for our returning families too. (Please note the guide will be updated as needed as we get closer to the first day of school.)

6th-8th grade student(s) should be sure to check the required reading and summer reading information below in the 2022-23 6TH-8TH GRADE INFORMATION section.
We are happy to announce that we will sell prepackaged school supplies for the 2022-23 school year through School Tool Box for students in preschool - 8th grade.
View supply lists below in the 2022-23 Preschool & Elementary Information if you'd like to purchase your own supplies.
immunization & check-up reminder
As a reminder, your incoming 6th grade student is required to have:
1. School Preventative Physical Exam (These are not the same as the sports physical exams).
2. Current Immunization Certificate
A student enrolling at Lexington Christian Academy must provide proof of immunizations from the State of Kentucky as required by Kentucky Law. All required immunizations must be up-to-date. All forms must be completed and on file in the school office within two weeks of the beginning of school (WEDNESDAY, Aug. 24th) or the student will not be allowed to continue in-person education at school. The student will be allowed to return to school when all requirements are met. If you are not sure about the required immunizations, please check with your family doctor. Parents may also file a Religious Declination form. This is the required form and no other documentation can be accepted. Be advised that the "Kentucky immunization regulation does not permit philosophical exemptions to immunizations. Kentucky only has medical or religious exemptions to immunizations."
A copy of the updated immunization and preventative exam forms can be faxed or emailed from your medical provider, or by you, to the attention of Nikki Gehring, Rose Campus Nurse (see info below).
