This is just a friendly reminder that all individuals are required to provide identification in order to enter the school building. In addition, parents and families who pick their children up from the bus must provide identification to the bus driver too. We have to make sure we are releasing children to the correct people and also that we know the individuals entering the school building.

Kindly ask your children to check the lost and found if they have misplaced any water bottles, bags, or clothing, as we have noticed a growing collection of these items. Parents must check in at the main office before proceeding to the lost and found to retrieve any lost belongings. Thank you for your cooperation!

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”).
