SAFETY & LIABILITY
LLL & BCA have a strict policy that no student is ever to be alone with any teacher and that no students should ever be left alone on campus without adult supervision. During normal school hours, multiple teachers are on campus and classrooms are ALWAYS unlocked and closely monitored. Doors are left ajar when the noise levels of other classes permit. Classroom doors have windows allowing others to observe inside when doors must be closed.

DURING NORMAL OPERATING HOURS (Mon–Thu 8:15–2:00), LLL students may be dropped off on campus, but they MUST be picked up after their lessons ON TIME.
BEGINNING AT 2:30, all LLL private students MUST be accompanied by a parent/guardian on campus.
BEGINNING AT 2:00, all LLL group classes MUST have, at least, one parent or guardian volunteer to remain on campus for the duration of the class. Volunteers can rotate so the same person is not responsible to stay each time.
WAITING ROOMS
There are multiple waiting areas within earshot of the LLL classroom. ALL parents, adults and other children should wait in one of these areas during lessons. Those waiting may sit anywhere not occupied by other teachers or classes. Please be considerate of other classes that may be in session on campus. Please DO NOT use any supplies you find in the waiting areas since they belong to those classrooms.
