Safety Reminders
At LCS, the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. We strive to respond quickly and appropriately to potential safety concerns while minimizing disruption to instruction. In the event of an emergency, schools may initiate actions such as Restricted Entry & Exit, Hold, Lockdown, Evacuate, Shelter, and Reunification. Read more about LCS safety procedures here.
LCS uses a mass notification system to send emails, phone calls, and text messages to families during emergency situations. Please make sure your contact information is up to date with LCS so that you receive notifications in the event of an emergency. Click here to learn how to update your information.
