The LCPS Letter
It is almost time to register your new LCPS student for the 2025/26 school year! The online pre-registration portal for kindergartners and students new to LCPS will open on Monday, Jan. 6. Current LCPS students do not need to complete this process. The pre-registration process includes determining your student’s home school, gathering the documents required for registration and uploading them to the pre-registration portal. Once pre-registration is complete, your student’s school will contact you to schedule a registration appointment to be held after Feb. 3, 2025. Paper registration forms are also available at your student’s home school, or you may download them from the LCPS website. If you have questions, please contact your student’s home school or LCPS Student Registration at RegistrationServices@lcps.org. See more information about Student Registration on the LCPS website.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, Jan. 25 from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and plan to attend the One LCPS: United for Wellness Conference and Resource Fair, LCPS’ 7th annual mental health and wellness event. This year’s conference will be held at Watson Mountain Middle School. The event reflects LCPS’ focus on supporting all areas of student health and features LCPS education and student support specialists and community partners. These experts will share tips and strategies for promoting your student’s mental health, academic and social engagement and overall wellness. The conference includes a resource fair with local businesses and nonprofits offering services and guidance to support your family. There will also be food trucks, live music and so much more! We look forward to seeing you at the United for Wellness Conference and Resource Fair. Mark your calendars and plan to attend. You won’t want to miss it!
As the year draws to a close, the Loudoun Education Foundation is thankful to have provided more than 15,000 weekend meal bags to LCPS students so far this school year. Through our Fueled program, would you consider helping us provide student meals well after the holidays? The need is greater than ever, and a $25 donation to LEF directly translates to ten meal bags, allowing students to focus on learning. Give at LoudounEducationFoundation.org/donate. Thank you and happy holidays!
This article is part of a series that seeks to support students and families as they reflect on their own experiences and the world around them. This series also replicates the reflections and observations that students often participate in through their classes.
Winter break is a wonderful time to slow down, reconnect and create memories with family and friends. Shared activities can strengthen family bonds, improve communication and foster positive relationships between parents, children, siblings and community. These moments also provide a supportive space to practice empathy, teamwork and conflict resolution while having fun together.
The LCPS Family SEL page shares activities, videos and resources appropriate for people of all ages. This winter break, make connections with the choice of activities the SEL team developed. Linked here is the flyer (Spanish, Arabic, Farsi, Vietnamese) with the menu of activities to choose from and linked here is a bonus “Snow Globe of Positivity” activity that you can do with your family!
