Arrival/Dismissal Guidelines
As you enter from Refugee Road you will drive up to form a car line parallel to the curb and directly in front (1-5) or back (6-12) of the building. You will proceed in the car line and pull up to the staff member(s) on duty. Please do not block the entrance to the front parking lot during carline. Please have your child remain in your vehicle until the 8:05 AM bell rings, as staff members will not be available for supervision until that time. For the safety of all, please do not park your vehicle or pull out to pass another vehicle. – wait in line until your turn to exit.
FIRST DAY (and every day): In an effort to make each day as seamless as possible, we kindly ask all parents to please say your goodbyes prior to dropping off your student at the curb and let us escort your child to his or her classroom.
6:00-8:05 AM Extended Care – for pre-registered 1st-5th grade students, please enter through the main entrance (at the flagpole) and sign in your child(ren) at the front office.
8:05-8:30 AM Car Line Arrival – each student will enter the building as directed by a staff member.
Student Drivers – Give plenty of time to arrive and enter through the back cafeteria entrance, and get to your locker then HR class by 8:25am. (Suggest arriving by 8:20am at the latest -with increased enrollment and staff, we will have the most vehicles on campus to date).
NOTE: Class begins at 8:25AM for 6th-12th grades and 8:30 AM for 1st-5th grades. Students entering the building after the 8:25 bell for 6th-12th and after the 8:30 bell for 1st-5th must be signed in by a parent at our front office. These students will be marked “tardy”. Student drivers need to sign themselves in if arriving late.

At Orientation you will create a Family Name Sign to place in your driver’s side window. As you pull up to the curb to pick up your child(ren), please stop momentarily to allow our staff member to clearly see this sign.
Please be prepared to show your I.D. in the carline and/or to our receptionist at the front entry. For security reasons, anyone entering the building will sign in at the main office and be issued a visitor ID badge. We appreciate your patience as we follow this procedure for the safety and well-being of all of our students. This procedure will also make our dismissal time more efficient for all involved.
Student Drivers: An application MUST be filled out for student drivers. A separate form must be completed for each vehicle.
We will utilize the window sticker again this year. If your student drove last year, they can fill out the paperwork and keep their sticker if it is the same vehicle and still displayed on the window. New stickers issued should be placed on the inside of the front window, lower left corner of the windshield (driver’s side).
STUDENT PARKING PERMIT APPLICATION
*Completed forms can be brought to the HS office by the student driver during orientation to process and receive assigned sticker(s).
Important things to note:
15 miles per hour max speeding limit on LCA campus including entering and exiting the school property.
MUST follow the pattern for entering and exiting, and ONLY go that direction. (Can NOT turn right exiting the gravel parking lot as sometimes busses use that lane when arriving late)
STUDENT PARKING AREA: Gravel lot only
If you arrive late to school , you will need to check in at the front desk for a pass with Mrs. Coil, School Secretary.
If you have to leave school early for any reason, we must hear from a parent before you are permitted to leave campus (scheduled appointments can be entered in the School Dismissal Manager). If parental permission is granted, you MUST sign out at the front desk. Please get documentation from doctor appointments to turn in in order for your absence to be excused (initially entered in FACTS as Unexcused – any 4 late or 4 early release unexcused absences will result in a fee.)
NOTE: On the rare occasion that a student would need to be dismissed from school early, parents must sign out their student and await their dismissal at the front entryway. These students will be marked “unexcused early dismissal”. (exception: pre-arranged doctor’s appointment).
