LCA Families · Parent Resources
Legacy Christian Academy values the instructional time our teachers have with students. We have developed a policy that allows LCA to hold an instructional day even when winter weather affects our campus — with clear communication for every family.
Morning Decisions
In the event of inclement weather, LCA will communicate on or before 6:30 a.m. LCA will use safety guidelines to determine if the school campus will close for the day or have a delayed start at 10:00 a.m.
Parent tip: Save the LCA app notifications and verify your contact information in FACTS/RenWeb before winter weather season begins.
Student Safety
LCA regularly monitors storms in the area, the National Weather Service, and local TV and radio stations for any potential alerts or risks. Legacy receives regular updates and alerts from the Denton County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) and the National Weather Service.
In the event severe weather is approaching during the school day, we will account for students and staff in secure locations and then communicate updates to parents.
Important: Legacy requests that parents do not come to school buildings in the middle of a storm to pick up their children. Please let school officials effectively respond during a weather emergency and follow Legacy’s communication outlets for updates (LCA App, Facebook, Instagram, phone, text, and email notification).
Stay Informed
Once a determination is made, communication will be sent to LCA faculty, staff, and families by 6:30 a.m.
LCA will be closed for the day; Distance Learning is in session. All before- and after-school clubs, meetings, rehearsals, and sub-varsity athletic practices are canceled. Coaches and sponsors will communicate directly regarding athletic games, varsity practices, and off-site competitions.

Dining on Weather Days
Breakfast will not be offered on a delayed-start day.
On a delayed start, a hot lunch may be offered and the à la carte selections will likely be limited. If the cafeteria staff is prohibited from arriving at school, families will be notified to provide lunch.
Early Learning Center students will receive purchased lunches if there is a delayed start on Tuesday or Thursday.
Learning Continues
In the event that inclement weather causes the campus to be closed, an Academic Distance Learning Day may be implemented.
Pre-K 3, Pre-K 4, and Junior Kinder students will not be given assignments. Kinder teachers will email assignments by 10:30 a.m.
Teachers will post assignments on SeeSaw or send via email no later than 10:30 a.m. Assignments will include due dates.
Teachers will post assignments on Schoology no later than 10:30 a.m. Assignments will include due dates.
What Parents Ask Us
LCA aims to communicate closure or delayed-start decisions by 6:30 a.m. through the LCA app, automated phone calls, email, the homepage banner, and social media.
A delayed start means campus opens at 10:00 a.m. instead of the regular schedule. Before-school activities are canceled. Breakfast is not served on delayed-start days.
When campus is closed for weather but instruction continues, teachers post assignments by 10:30 a.m. through SeeSaw (Lower School) or Schoology (Middle and Upper School). Principals communicate details by email or learning platforms.
Contact your child’s teacher as soon as possible. Teachers will work with families on a reasonable timeline to complete assignments without penalty when extenuating circumstances apply.
No. During severe weather, please do not come to school buildings to pick up students. LCA staff will secure students in safe locations and communicate updates through official channels.
Before- and after-school clubs, meetings, rehearsals, and sub-varsity practices are typically canceled on weather days. Coaches and sponsors communicate directly about varsity practices, games, and competitions.
