For Parents

Dear Parents,

Under attachments, below, you will find our Student Handbook, which contains all of the information you need to understand how our school works.

If you are in need of uniforms, stay tuned... our new uniform company information will be posted here soon!

For information on sacramental preparation (baptism, first reconciliation, first holy communion, confirmation), please click here to visit the parish website. Then click on the "Sacraments" link. You may also contact JoAnn Elder, Director of Lifelong Faith Formation, at 386-255-0433 or at jelder@lourdesacademy.net.

All parents can view class web pages by logging in to EdLine. Parents of children in grades 5-8 can also access their children's grades (grades Pre-K through 4 are not assigned traditional grades; progress is reported based upon achievement of identified standards). If you never received an EdLine activation code, please contact the main office or e-mail lbrissette@lourdesacademy.net.

Duty to Report

Florida Statutes require that all school employees and agents report misconduct (known or observed) by an instructional personnel member or a school administrator and actual or suspected cases of child abuse, neglect, or abandonment. Forms for reporting misconduct are available to employees and agents in the school office. Instructional personnel misconduct is to be reported to the school Principal. Administrator misconduct is to be reported to the Pastor. Reports of child abuse, neglect, or abandonment are to be made to the Department of Children and Families at 1-800-96-ABUSE. Failure of school employees or agents to report misconduct or child abuse, neglect, or abandonment can lead to discipline up to and including termination of employment and revocation of Educator's Certificate. Employees or agents who make a report of misconduct or child abuse, neglect, or abandonment in good faith are immune from liability. Most importantly, misconduct, child abuse, neglect, or abandonment must be reported because it is the Christian, moral, ethical, professional, and RIGHT thing to do.
