LCA Preschool Student/Parent Handbook

LCA TK-5th Grade Student/Parent Handbook

LCA 6th-12th Grade Student/Parent Handbook

Dear LCA Families,

Welcome to the 2021-22 school year!  As we prepare for the start of school, each year we ask our families to review and update their demographic information as well as data pertaining to t-shirt sizes, social media rights, and optional tuition programs.  In addition, we ask families to read and then attest to agreeing with the school's student handbook.

This year is no different; however, we have organized the forms into a single process - The Annual Verification Process.  The Annual Verification Process permits families to easily review and make updates to the data stored in our school information system.  The process includes the following forms:

FAMILY DEMOGRAPHIC FORM

• Student Demographic Form
• Student Medical Form
• Custodial Parent Form
• Emergency Contact Form
• Transportation Form
• Grandparents Form

STUDENT T-SHIRT, SOCIAL MEDIA and TUITION INFORMATION FORM

• Student's current t-shirt size
• Social Media Authorization
• Tuition Refund Insurance Information
• "Round Up for Education"

2021-22 STUDENT HANDBOOK ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

COVID-19 WAIVER

Families can access the Annual Verification Form and its supporting documents by logging into FACTS Family.  As a reminder, our district code is LX-KY.  Once you log into the system, select SCHOOL, WEB FORMS, and then 2021-22 ANNUAL VERIFICATION.  

COMPLETION OF THE ANNUAL VERIFICATION PROCESS IS DUE BY THURSDAY, JULY 29.  

Our preschool and elementary campus will publish homeroom teacher assignments on Friday, August 6.  Our Sixth Grade Academy, Junior High, and High School will publish class schedules on Monday, August 2. 

Families must complete and submit their annual verification forms in order to be eligible to receive their students' homeroom assignments and class schedules.

If the FACTS Family page appears to load incorrectly after logging in, try a hard refresh to correct it. If using a PC use control +F5 or command + shift + r on a Mac. If you have other questions or encounter additional problems with the Annual Verification Form, please email the Admissions Office at admissions@lexingtonchristian.org. 

Again, welcome back! We look forward to seeing you soon!
