Stay Connected and Informed
Exciting news! LCPS has launched a new app designed to keep families connected and informed with just a tap. The app allows users to conveniently access documents, news updates and emergency notifications in one place. It’s a must-have for students, families and staff, and is available for download from the Google Play or Apple App Store (just search for “Loudoun County Public Schools”). With this mobile-responsive tool, you can receive important updates directly from your school and stay informed on the latest features. The LCPS website and app also offer a centralized feed for all division news, events and announcements, providing a reliable way to stay updated than relying on multiple social media sites.

What's the Word with Mr. Burd
Rolling Ridge Community,
Bingo Night this year was absolutely incredible! A huge thank you to our amazing PTA and dedicated staff who made it all possible. We had nearly 150 participants, gave away tons of prizes, and enjoyed delicious food and snacks. It was so much fun, and the joy and excitement from everyone made it a night to remember!
Thank you for your support!
"RRD is the Place to Be!"
Sincerely,
Mr. Burd
