Family Liaisons Support Families in Accessing and Navigating Resources
Every LCPS school has a Family Liaison dedicated to helping families access and navigate community resources. Whether you need assistance with food, housing, health services, employment or other needs, your school’s Family Liaison is here to help.
How Family Liaisons Support Families
Family Liaisons connect families to resources, nonprofit services and community programs throughout Loudoun County.
They help families navigate LCPS programs and resources such as weekend backpack meals, fee waivers, free & reduced meal applications and more.
They support families when a confidential referral or support is needed.
Guidance for Working with Your Family Liaison
Reach out early if your family could use support.
Share your needs so the Family Liaison can connect you with the right help.
Stay in touch to ensure continued access to resources.
Visit your school’s website or the LCPS Family and Community Engagement website to find your Family Liaison.
Why It Matters
When families feel supported, students are more confident and ready to learn. The Family Liaison helps strengthen that connection between home, school and community.
