As part of our ongoing commitment to student safety, LCMS has made two minor changes to the after school student pick up process. Please be sure to follow the directions of traffic flow! First, students will only be allowed to exit the building through the main entrance (north) and the cafeteria (south). Second, parents will not be allowed to park on the east side of State Highway Loop 493 for student pick up. The safest places to pick up students are in the pick up lines on the north side and south side of the campus including the parking lot between LCMS and South Elementary. We appreciate your understanding and support of student safety.

Check out the Spirit Merchandise page on the LCISD website to find order forms and links for a variety of LCP swag!

*If you represent a parent organization and would like your order form included on the Spirit Merchandise page, email it to info@lcisd.net.
