For parents and guardians

Parent Application Guide

Apply to Lustre Christian High School with a clear next step

A parent-friendly walkthrough of what to prepare, how the online application works, and what to expect after you submit.

Application Process

What happens from start to submission

The portal is designed to let families move steadily through the application while keeping every saved answer, document, and message in one place.

Step 1

Start with the basics

Enter the parent or guardian contact, student name, grade, student location, housing plan, admission term, and referral source.

  • This creates the application record.
  • Choose the housing plan carefully so the portal can show the right sections.
Step 2

Complete each application section

Work through the sections in order. Later sections unlock as earlier ones are completed.

  • You can revisit earlier sections while the application is still in draft.
  • Use the save button at the end of each section before moving on.
Step 3

Verify parent access

Before final submission, the portal asks a parent or guardian to verify their email with a secure magic link.

  • No password is required.
  • If a link expires, request a fresh link from the portal.
Step 4

Upload requested documents

Upload the requested files from the Documents area. Admissions staff will review each upload.

  • PDF, JPG, and PNG files are supported.
  • If a document needs a replacement, the portal will show the next step.
Step 5

Submit for review

Once every required section is complete, submit the application for admissions review.

  • Submitted applications are locked for parent editing.
  • You can still view status, documents, messages, and follow-up requests.
Step 6

Watch for follow-up

Admissions may send messages, request clarification, or ask for an updated document before a decision is made.

  • Email notifications let you know when a portal message has been sent.
  • Keep replies inside the portal so the school has the full application context.
