Most Fridays throughout the year are designated Spirit Gear days on which students can wear any approved Spirit Gear shirt with jeans or regular uniform bottoms. For Red Out days, spirit gear items may be purchased through our online Spirit Store, or in August at our Back-toSchool Celebration event!

Lunch Program:
We do offer lunch purchase options from different vendors each day, ordered a week in advance. Some items, such as chips and Gatorade, are sold as a la carte items in the cafeteria. These items can be purchased without a preorder and are paid for through the student’s FACTS account. Parents can place money on that account through the LCCS app. More information can be found in the Resource Depot.

Communication:
There are several methods the school uses to communicate with Eagle families.

  • App: Download the LCCS App from your app store. The app and our website will be invaluable tools throughout the year. The app will give you secure log-in access to features in your FACTS account, such as lunch orders, financials, and your child’s academic info. Through other links, you can easily access public features like school calendars, athletics schedules, and more!
  • Website: We house important documents and policies in Resource Depots that are divided into key areas to make it easier for you to find what you need. Examples include school supply lists, handbooks, and other forms/links.
  • Newsletter: During the school year, we send a weekly all-school newsletter via email each Monday to all our Eagle families. Each school division/department also has a designated day of the week for their newsletter to go out with department-specific information.

Getting Ready for the Year:
As mentioned in the communication section, on our school website you will find Resource Depots full of information for students and parents. Visit the Resource Depot for your child’s grade level to find School Supply lists for items needed to start the school year off right.

Technology:

  • Every 9th-12th grade student is responsible for purchasing a device with the appropriate requirements to use in the classroom and at home each day. The BYOD, Bring Your Own Device, policy approves iPads or laptops for class use. Be sure and review tech requirements on the school supply list.
  • Students in elementary, intermediate, and middle school will have access to a school iPad, and PK/Kinder Prep may share classroom devices.

After-School Care:
Our after-school care serves students PK through 6th grade until 5:00 or 6:00 PM, end-time decided yearly, for an additional fee. Once updated in August, additional details on extended care will be available in the Resource Depot.

Back to School Celebration:
We host an evening in August as a fun Eagle family way to kick off the new school year. This is a great opportunity to hear from the Head of School, meet and greet other Eagle families, learn more about many LCCS programs, and take care of things like picking up spirit gear. New students/families will be notified of orientation times that might apply to their grade level. There may be a designated evening to drop off supplies and meet the teacher on the same day or a different designated day before school starts. Stay up-to-date with the school calendar in our LCCS app or on the website at www.lccs.org.

Please note that as we move into the summer months, some details for our ’24-’25 academic year are subject to change as we continue to plan, improve, and finalize programs.
