As Superintendent of Loudoun County Public Schools, it’s my honor to welcome you to the 2022-2023 school year.

As One LCPS, we are accountable to our families and community, proud of our staff and schools’ commitment to excellence and equitable opportunity for all, and excited for the limitless potential of our students. We seek to create learning communities that are places where students and teachers can devote their attention to learning and teaching in a safe, welcoming, affirming and academically rigorous learning environment.

SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE

4 ONE LCPS: 2027 STRATEGIC PLAN FOR EXCELLENCE OUR VISION: Every Student will reach their full potential and achieve their dreams. OUR MISSION: Empowering all students to make meaningful contributions to the world.

Empowered Students: Students will be at the center of our work - valuing all students’ hopes and dreams and preparing them to make meaningful contributions to the world.

All students, staff, and community members should have regular opportunities to be heard in two-way conversations across the division.

Enriched Division: LCPS must be aligned around our core educational mission for students and strengthen trust, listen humbly, value differences, and remain steadfast in ensuring every student is prepared to make meaningful contributions to the world. Holistic Support

CORE VALUES

Every student should have the support to feel safe, happy, and cared for in school. Equity and Opportunity

Engaged Community: Parents, families, and our community must be a support, guide, ally, and partner; there is no one more deeply invested in the success of students than their families. Exemplary Staff: LCPS teachers, administrators, and staff are the most important factor in helping our students after their parents; seeing that staff are esteemed, exemplary, supported, and accountable is vital to student success.

Rigorous Teaching and Learning

All students should be challenged to reach their full potential in the classroom as part of a system that aspires to become the best performing division in the nation. Individualized Success All unique strengths, skills, and passions should be celebrated, encouraging diverse pathways that support readiness after graduation. Continuous Improvement A culture of continuous improvement should drive the fulfillment of our mission.

STRATEGIC GOALS

All students and staff should have access to resources, programs, and support that enable a successful future. Trust Through Listening

Loudoun County Public Schools Commitment to Equity statement, developed with community involvement, collaboration with stakeholder groups and inputs from students and staff, was shared with the School Board and public on June 28, 2022.

LCPS COMMITMENT TO EQUITY

Demonstrating the courage to address inequities and remove barriers represents an integral part of our collective effort towards excellence in education. Equity is the vehicle that leads to greater access, opportunity, and equality so that each student is empowered to make meaningful contributions to the world. LCPS Commitment to Equity is our division-wide commitment to equity and opportunity, and aligns with preparing all students to pursue and achieve their full potential. In the newly adopted One LCPS: 2027 Strategic Plan for Excellence, equity and opportunity represent one of the six core values foundational to our strategic goals and actions.

LCPS centers equity as one of its foundational core values. For our community, equity means being committed to providing a safe, supportive, inclusive, affirming, and respectful environment for each student and staff member that fosters success, growth, and academic rigor. The cultivation of this environment requires us to reject and condemn the use of hate speech, racial slurs, antisemitism, and any action or behavior that discriminates based on race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, orientation, gender expression, socio-economic status, religion, ability, or other cultural identities or expression. Such noninclusive speech, behavior, and actions do not reflect who we are as a learning community. We embrace and value the unique identities, backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and needs of each student and employee. Celebrating our diversity is important and helps define us as a school division.

The LCPS Safety and Security Office utilizes Department of Homeland Security best practices with respect to emergency management. LCPS staff are trained to respond to a wide array of emergency situations and will implement applicable emergency action plans in support of overarching mitigation strategies. Students will follow staff direction during emergencies. If a school is in an emergency, parents/guardians listed for contact will be notified via email by Blackboard Mass Notification and/or Loudoun Alert. Should the school be evacuated, a reunification site will be identified and communicated. Public safety personnel will establish a perimeter and restrict all access to the school. LCPS will continue to update parents/guardians. Under no circumstances should families come to their child’s school during an emergency.

EMERGENCY

The following emergency action terminology is utilized throughout LCPS.

LOCKDOWN - Lockdown is used to describe enhanced security measures taken to protect against potentially violent intruders that may be inside the school or on the school campus. The response secures students and staff, usually in classrooms, to prevent access ACTION PROCEDURES

When a concern arises, it should be addressed first at the level of the organization where it occurred. Typically, that’s the classroom teacher. If the concern isn’t resolved at this level, it may be escalated according to policy 8070.

• If the same concern comes up again, consider a 10-minute phone call with a teacher or school representative (coach, counselor, etc.).

• A brief email or note is appropriate for a first-time concern or question.
