Veracross Parent Portal
Lakeland Christian School has moved FACTS/RenWeb to Veracross. This new school management system features a Parent Portal, which will serve as your go-to hub for staying informed. Everything you need to know will be accessible in one convenient location — calendars, lunch menu, assignments and grades, student schedules, etc.
One feature of the Parent Portal is a “My Messages” page that serves as a designated inbox for all emails that come from the school. You will still receive these messages in your own personal email, but this Veracross inbox will keep all school emails in one place for 90 days.
If you need assistance accessing the Veracross Parent Portal, please email helpdesk@syria-events.com. This will be the most direct resource to assist you.
