New Safe School Locking System

New Life Christian Academy is pleased to announce the installation of our new main entrance lock system. We have taken a step towards better protecting our campus by installing video surveillance and automatic locks on these doors. If you are visiting NLCA during school hours, you will need to ring the buzzer located in the vestibule on the right of the main door. All other doors will remain locked and you will only be able to enter the school through the main door. Our secretary will be able to see who is ringing the buzzer and will be able to speak to you for identification. Upon receiving clearance, the door will unlock for you. We realize this is not something we are used to, but it is a precaution we are happy to take. The new lock system will go in effect on Monday, March 7, 2011.
