What is required for the Family Registration?
We need the following from all families:
- Family Survey for returning families (Completed in the Spring)
- Required Registration Forms
- Background Check Authorization - Follow the link to complete on the "Protect My Ministry" site
- Family Registration Fee
(you will be taken to the payment page upon completing the Required Registration Form above.)
Why is our Family Registration taking place in July instead of June?
Due to the number of that families that receive the PEP Scholarship, we have decided to push registration back to July 1st. PEP will begin reimbursement for the 2025-2026 school year beginning July 1st and any payments made before that date are not reimbursed.
Who approves my Family Registration? How long will it take?
Approval for Family Registrations is a manual process completed by the LCHA Board. Our board is made up of Parent Volunteers, just like you! Therefore, we kindly ask that you allow 2-3 business days for your Family Registration to be approved. Family Registrations are processed in the order that they are received.
When can I register for classes?
Class Registration Begins:
JULY 7, 2025 - Teachers and Board
JULY 14, 2025 - Returning Families
JULY 21, 2025 - New Famillies
You may register any time following your registration tier date. However, some classes do fill up quickly! To ensure a quality education, we MUST limit the number of students in each class. If a class is closed due to reaching the class maximum, you may reigster to be added to the waitlist. There is no guarentee that your child will be added to the class, but if another student drops, they will be added in their order on the waitlist.
Is it true that we are going to 6 periods next year?
Yes, we will have a 6 period day next year! Prayer and pledge will begin at 8:45am. Classes will begin at 9am and classes will still be 55 minutes long.
Can anyone see my personal information from the Background Check?
No, the background check is completed through a 3rd party, Protect My Ministry. We are not able to see your personal information, like your SSN, jobs, or previous home addresses.
