The circle by the Church doors are for buses only.

The doors automatically lock at 8:50am. If you arrive after 8:50am, you are required to bring your child to the school office and sign them in.

Students are expected to be in their seats and ready to go or else they will be considered tardy. Please explain to your student that if they need to use the restroom, they need to do it as soon as they get to school to ensure that they are not stuck in the halls at 8:50am.

What are the procedures for morning drop off and afternoon pick up?

Elementary

  • Morning Drop Off: You can drop off your student using the carline ONLY (look for the cones on the side of the building). We will allow families to bring their student to their classroom only until Labor Day weekend. This ensures that the school is secure at all times.
  • Afternoon Pick Up: Please pick up your child from their teacher’s classroom. Enter the building either by going through the Recess Doors or Front Office Doors.

MSHS

  • We only have a carline for morning drop off.  At the end of the day, parents are allowed to park and wait for their students to come out.

Can my student bring a water bottle to school?

Yes, we require water bottles to be brought to school. There is a water refill station for the children to refill their water throughout the day.

May I come to Chapel with my kids?

Yes!! Chapel is on Wednesday at 8am at Warren St. and 9am at Countryside. Chapel dress is required for students (refer to your Parent/Student Handbook for dress code).

If you plan on joining us for Chapel, there will be a sign in sheet in the lobby of the church. You will be required to sign in as a visitor.

What if my student forgets his/her lunch?

Hot Plate lunches are ordered and paid for 1 month in advance. If your child forgets his/her lunch, we will reach out to you and ask if you or someone else is able to bring lunch for your child. We will provide the student with lunch, in the case no one is able to bring one. A charge of $3.75 will be invoiced to your FACTS account.

Countryside & Warren St. You can send $.75 with your child to:

  • Purchase Milk the same day for $.75 (milk does not need to be ordered in advance)

Can I have lunch with my child?

Yes! All you have to do is stop by the office to sign in as a visitor. Please remember to bring you photo id.  You will find out what time your child goes to lunch at your student’s orientation.

Where do I enter the building if I am Volunteering/Visiting?

If you are entering the building for any reason (even to drop off an item to your child’s classroom) between 8:50 am and 3:25 pm, you must enter the school main entrance, stop by the office to sign in, and get a visitor badge. Please stop by the office to sign out when you leave the building. We appreciate you helping us to keep our building safe and secure.

I would like to Volunteer, how do I get involved?

We send out various opportunities in our school newsletter and teachers will also communicate their needs.

When volunteering in the classroom, you must stop by the office to sign in and get a visitor badge. Remember to bring your photo id! Please sign out when you leave the building.

You can also earn Volunteer Hours for attending the Monthly PTF meetings and getting involved with planning events! Email PTF@lebanonchristianschool.org with any questions.

**20 hours of volunteering are required, per family, per year**
