Online registration is open and working! Students who attended an LSC school last year may go to the Lafayette School Corporation website (just google it) and complete online registration. Look on the left side of the home page, under Quick Links. Clink on "Online Registration". You do not need a "snap code" or "access code" if you are a returning family. For your convenience, I have included the link below to register your returning student.
We are asking that all kindergarten students and new families to LSC actually come to registration at Edgelea on Wednesday, JULY 24 from 9:00-4:00 or Thursday, July 25 from 12:00-7:00.

Job Opportunities for the 2019-2020 school year.
I will be hiring 4 lunch/recess monitors for the upcoming school year. The hours are 10:30-1:00 daily. Each monitor alternates between outdoor and indoor time so the longest amount of time outside is in 20 minute increments. Please email me or call Edgelea if you are interested. There are no specific job qualifications, except the background check.
I will also be hiring 1 or 2 paras (teaching assistants). The hours are approximately 8:30-2:30 daily and will equal about 28 hours per week. You must have 40 hours of college credits or have passed the Parapro exam. The exam preparation is offered for free through LARA (Lafayette Adult Resource Academy). There is a cost to take the exam, but the preparation is free. There is free child care available while attending classes.
You can phone 765-476-2920 for more information about the Parapro test. I have also included the link below for your convenience.
