Provisions for Use

It is the policy of L'Anse Creuse Public Schools to permit the use of district buildings and grounds by properly organized and responsible groups, provided that such use does not interfere with the regular school day or any school-sponsored student activity. The following list outlines the general priority order for facility use. Please be aware that L’Anse Creuse Public Schools reserves the right to revoke or reschedule previously approved facility use in favor of a group with higher priority. The typical priority order is:

1. School Use

2. Community Education

3. School Booster Groups

4. Other Government Organizations (e.g., Parks & Recreation)

5. Community Groups

Use by for-profit organizations will be considered as space and scheduling permit.

You must review all provisions of the Rules Governing Use of School Facilities.

If insurance coverage is needed, short-term or event-specific policies can be obtained through the GatherGuard website (linked below). GatherGuard generates special event policies online, and when L’Anse Creuse is listed as the vendor or rental location, the school will automatically be included as an additional insured. Once the renter submits payment, the policy and certificate of insurance will be issued and can be sent directly to the school. Costs are reasonable and vary depending on the type of event and expected attendance, with policies starting at just $75.00.

Outdoor Fields & Facilities

Fields and Ball Diamonds are not Available for use until April 15.

Special Notice Regarding Athletic Field Requests

Requests for spring and summer use of athletic fields should not be submitted before January 1 of the current school year. Any requests received prior to this date will be declined, as district athletic schedules for those seasons will not yet be finalized.

Please note that elementary field requests may be approved earlier than middle school or high school field requests, as the athletic schedules for middle and high school buildings are not finalized until March 1.

All field and ball diamond reservations are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Building Access and Supervision

Please note that no individual or group is permitted to enter any L’Anse Creuse Public Schools building without an approved facility use request that has been processed and activated through Community Use. All indoor events will be monitored by a designated district representative—typically a building custodian, groundskeeper, security officer, or building aide. Additional supervision costs may apply and will be the responsibility of the requester.

Special Use Facilities

The John R. Armstrong Performing Arts Center, pools, and football stadiums are designated as special-use facilities. Due to the nature of these spaces—including liability considerations, associated costs, and the scope of required services—a separate contract may be required.

Please review the Fee Schedule for applicable rates. For more information or to discuss the use of these facilities, please contact the appropriate district representative listed below.

Fundraiser Events

Request to Hold a Fundraiser

Events associated with fundraising will not be approved without the completion of the required fundraising form.

All proceeds must be made payable to and processed by L’Anse Creuse Public Schools.

Consideration may be given to outside groups whose events serve the best interests of the L’Anse Creuse Public Schools community, at the sole discretion of the Superintendent or designee.
