Lancer Parent Association

Lancer Parent Association (LPA) is the parent group formed to connect with and support parents and guardians of all Churchill students. LPA is a great way to connect to CHS administration, to sports and clubs, and to other parents. LPA is free and open to any interested parent, guardian, or family member of a CHS student or any Churchill community member. We meet at 6:30 on the first Monday of each month in the library, except for September.

Here is the schedule for the fall:

  • September 15: Parent meeting with guests Principal Dennis Biggerstaff and Athletic Director Tim Carmichael
  • October 6: Parent meeting, no guest speaker
  • November 3: Parent meeting with guest Counselor Betsy Hoell on the Career Center and Scholarships
  • December 1: Parent meeting, no guest speaker

One of the LPA’s goals is to create community through communication. In addition to parent meetings, we also create an annual student directory. Parents who used last year’s directory have found it to be a very handy way to get in touch with other parents. These are for sale for $3 - look for them in the back-to-school fee form included in the G'Lancer.  If you purchase one using the fee form, it will be mailed to you when it is ready shortly after the beginning of the school year. Look for directories at the Open House in October as well. An opt-out form for the directory has been inserted into the back-to-school G'Lancer. It is very important to us that we do not include people who do not want to be included. Please complete the opt-out form if this is the case for you.

In addition to the directory, LPA also provides an e-newsletter for parents. Subscribe to this informative bi-weekly e-mail by: 1) Send an e-mail to chslpaenews-subscribe@npogroups.org (nothing isrequired in the subject or body of the message).
