All students in grades 8-12 must “Bring Your Own Device” (B.Y.O.D.) to school every day.  Students usually have a Windows laptop, Apple MacBook, or Chromebook.

Dress up! Remember, it’s picture day!*

From the LCA Family Handbook:

Attire for Formal Occasions, including First Day and Class Day:

• For young men, formal dress includes a dress shirt, tie, or dress pants (no jeans or shorts), shoes, and socks.
• For young women, formal dress includes either a dress, or a skirt or dress pants and a blouse, and dress shoes.

* 9th graders, please bring casual clothes with you to change into before we move on to orientation. 

Locker dimensions are all 58” H x 12” W x 12” L (see photo here). Some students have slightly wider lockers, but all have the same upper shelf and hooks for backpack/clothing. We recommend locker shelves for organizing books, bringing some small magnets or sticking a dry-erase board to the inside of your locker for important reminders, hanging up your schedule, and writing notes to yourself.

Your House Leader will assign you a locker number and combination, and you’ll have some time to locate it and put your stuff inside on First Day.

We will only be providing lunch for 9th graders at the start of Freshman Orientation.

All other students (including athletes with afternoon practice) must bring their own lunch.

Full lunch service for all students begins on Wednesday, September 7.

What is the Portal?

The “Portal” is LCA’s online central repository of information.  Homework assignments, class handouts, your grades, teacher comments, and various forms/permission slips are all found on the Portal.  You’ll soon find yourself asking your teachers, “Is this on the Portal?”  Parents and students have separate Portal accounts with slightly different content.  Account setup instructions are sent out directly from our IT department.  Be sure to try logging into the Portal before the first day of school!

What will my school email be, and when do I get access to it?

Your email address is your firstname.lastname@lca.edu  Email is the main way your teachers will communicate with you.  Be sure to log in and know how to access your LCA email before school starts as well! Your email will also serve as your WiFi log-in credentials.

All new families should have received student email account information from our technology office. If you have not received your student email information or need help with this, please reach out to help@lca.edu. 

Do I need to have my own computer for school?

Yes! All upper school students must “Bring Your Own Device” (B.Y.O.D.) to school every day.  Students usually have a Windows laptop, Apple MacBook, or Chromebook. iPads are not recommended. Be sure you can log in successfully to your Portal and email accounts from your own device before orientation on Convocation Day. If you need assistance acquiring a device, please speak with our IT department (help@lca.edu)
