HERE TO HELP YOU
MAKE CONFIDENT
COURSE SELECTIONS!
Lumen Christi embraces our core value to achieve excellence! We
inspire academic achievement by challenging students to gather
information about their educational track, while empowering their
personal accountability to excel. Each year, we strive to improve our
course selection process so that parents and students have the information
they need to make confident decisions. We will provide multiple times
to turn in course selection sheets with a final deadline of Tuesday,
March 22nd, 2022 for all grades. Ultimately, this will help us better
leverage class loads, determine teacher schedules earlier, and provide
you a schedule that is built on confidence.

A physical is required before a student may participate in athletics and
must be on file at the school. A current year physical is one given on
or after April 15. In addition, students entering Grade 7 or new to the
Jackson Catholic Schools provide a checkpoint for the County Health
Department to verify if immunizations and/or waivers are on record
for students to attend school. If immunizations are not current, parents
must make an appointment with the County Health Department or their
family physician to have the vaccinations administered, or sign a waiver.
MHSAA Athletic Physical forms are available in the Main Office or
from the physician’s office.

COURSES
Course Registration Process:
We encourage parents and students to attend their grade level
Priority Course Registration Advisory Workshop. You may
choose to turn in your course selection sheet at the event,
however, priority registration is given for attending the event
and is not contingent on making course commitments that night.
You have the option to turn in the course selection sheet at a
later date in the “Next Step” timeline and still receive priority
registration due to your attendance. For Priority Registration, at
any time, FACTS Enrollment is required. Please review “Next
Steps” outlined on the opening pages of this Newsletter.
To boost confidence in course selections, we will assist you
with criteria that will help you with decision-making: NWEA
test scores, teacher recommendations, and current grades will
be used. Students who do not meet the recommended criteria
to register for Advanced, Honor, or AP classes will be asked
to write a brief paper on the reasoning “why” they should be
considered for application.
A $50 Late Course Registration Fee applies beginning on
Wednesday, March 23rd If you choose to delay and not turn-in
your course selection sheet prior to this date, the $50 late fee
applies. All Course Selection turn-in dates have a prerequisite
of FACTS Enrollment before the registration is confirmed as
received (turned in).

2022-2023 Course Selection Changes will be accepted
ONLY during the window of August 1st - September 20th.
We know that course changes may occur. By providing
multiple opportunities and “Next Steps”, we hope to reduce
course change requests and the cost to you and the school. We
ask that you choose courses carefully and consider the student
workload that is required for multiple, advanced-level courses
along with extracurricular activities. With each course change
request, a $20 fee must accompany the request. Scheduling of
courses is based on initial choices and desired changes may not
be available even with the request. Course Selection forms will
be available in the Main Office and from the Registrar.

UNIFORMS ARE AN
IMPORTANT PART OF
ACHIEVING EXCELLENCE
PowerSchool Access
PowerSchool will continue to be an important tool for parent/
teacher/school information and communication. Your existing
Jackson Catholic Schools (“myjacs”) parent portal account will remain
active as you transition to Grade 7 and Lumen Christi. For Grades
7-12, parents access the PowerSchool Parent Portal page by visiting
our LC website. Look for ‘PowerSchool’ in our Quicklinks.
To login to your student’s account, use your same parent portal user
ID login (account access) used at the elementary school. Students will
receive their list of selected courses for the upcoming school year in
early June via school messenger.
At the Packet Pick Up scheduled for Wednesday, August 10, students
will receive their preliminary schedule of classes (class periods assigned
during the school day). Students are provided their PowerSchool
account access with their Preliminary schedule at Packet Pick Up.
AUGUST 10TH IS
PACKET PICK UP!
Packet Pick Up is a day filled with incredible energy and
renewal. It is our kick-off to the school year through a
celebration of family and students and our commitment to
achieve excellence and welcoming you! The Pick up shouts
our commitment to excellence in academics, and it speaks to
our stronghold to Christ living His Light in all that we do. As
we greet the school year and you, we once again connect to
each other, sharing the excitement that the “first day back”
always brings. It is an important day for all of us. The school
collects important information on each student for records/
communications. Parents receive their student’s Preliminary
Schedule. Workbooks are purchased and class fees and
classroom textbook rental fees are paid at Packet Pick Up.
