Loudoun County Public Schools and Administrative Offices are closed Wednesday, January 8. An announcement will be made by NOON on Wednesday if after school activities on campuses may take place.


Loudoun County Public Schools and Administrative Offices are closed on Tuesday, January 7. All activities on school campuses are canceled on January 7 as well.
The Annual School Board Organizational Meeting that is scheduled for Tuesday, January 7, 2025, at 4:00 p.m., will be rescheduled to Thursday, January 9, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. To the extent inclement weather makes it impracticable and unsafe for a quorum of the School Board to meet in person at the Administrative Building at that time, the School Board will plan to hold such rescheduled meeting virtually, to provide for the continuity of its operations. Should that be the case, additional information will be provided prior to that meeting.


Registration for the 2025/26 school year is now open! Register your kindergartener or student who is new to LCPS now. For more details, see www.lcps.org/StudentRegistration.
