The countdown is officially on for the start of the 2026/27 school year!

Families: Your first task for the new school year is to log in to ParentVUE and update your student’s information. This process includes confirming or updating your student’s emergency contacts, setting your preferred language for written communications and answering required questions. You must update your student’s information to access bus and class schedules when they are released on Wednesday, August 12.

Looking for more back‑to‑school tips? Visit the LCPS First Day webpage for everything you need to start the year strong!

Don't wait until August to schedule your student's required immunizations. Schedule immunization appointments now and prepare your student to be able to start school on time in August. Students entering kindergarten, 7th and 12th grade have required immunizations. Once your student has been immunized, provide proof of vaccination to your student's school any time before the first day of school. Students without the appropriate documentation will not be able to start school on the first day of school. For more details: www.lcps.org/Immunizations

Have a safe, happy, and wonderful summer vacation Bison!
