SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE As Superintendent of Loudoun County Public Schools, it’s my honor to welcome students and staff to the 2021-2022 school year. Having come through a year like no other, we acknowledge that many lives have been forever changed due to COVID-19. We stand with those who have lost loved ones, family and friends during this time. We acknowledge, as we return to life outside of online classes and virtual meetings, that this transition will be a time of adjustment for students. Some will be joining their classmates in person for the first time. Some will attend class in buildings they’ve never been to before. Please know that our school community and leaders will continue to focus on creating and providing a welcoming, safe, affirming and challenging learning environment for every student. While we’re enthusiastic about being back in school five days a week, we acknowledge the need to support our students more than ever. For this reason, I have appointed the Superintendent’s Task Force for Student Mental Health that will explore how we may better provide school mental health resources and direct services to students experiencing trauma, anxiety and loss as a result of the pandemic. This year we will work together to enhance the excellence of our instructional programs. LCPS has maintained extremely high performance on all measures of academic success while managing the growth of our student population. Over the last 25 years LCPS has grown by 61,000 students and 41 schools. With a highly talented staff in place to address the needs of our student body, we will now focus on enriching and enhancing the academic offerings available to students at all levels. Finally, our commitment to the school division’s equity work will not waver. LCPS will continue to lead the nation in ensuring that student voices are heard and that our programming meets the needs of all students as they become critical thinkers, collaborators, communicators, contributors and creators. Best wishes, Scott A. Ziegler, Ed.D. Superintendent

2021-2022 NEWS Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) has made some significant changes for the 2021-2022 school year that we want our stakeholders to be aware of. These changes include:

Mental Health and Wellness Resources Loudoun County Public Schools has a comprehensive mental health program to support students as they return to five days of in-person instruction this fall.

The goals of the program are to: • Prioritize the safety and well-being of staff and students;

• Develop routines and practices that support a welcoming, inclusive and affirming school environment;

• Model structures that support academic and social emotional development for all students; and

• Establish systems of support and interventions to promote student success.

Throughout the month of August, school staff will plan ways to connect with students and families. These activities could include hosting community events, visiting students at their homes, holding principal coffees, offering school tours or sending the community surveys and messages. Activities also will be held to allow staff members to reconnect with their colleagues. These may include community building exercises or welcoming events. Administrators will also conduct informal check-ins on staff members to support staff morale. As teachers plan their opening lessons for students, they are encouraged to include morning meetings or other group check-in activities. They will greet students positively and learn names as they begin teaching classroom rules and procedures. When classes get underway, principals may use daily announcements to support shared expectations about a safe and welcoming environment. In the classroom, teachers will implement activities like brain breaks, circles or cool down exercises around academic content. The culturally responsive framework will support community building among students.

2021-2022 NEWS Students may also begin to take on leadership roles with specific job tasks. Students will learn strategies for advocating for themselves when they need support. During the second week of school, staff will begin data collection to document things like attendance and engagement, behavior, academics and social emotional wellness. This data will inform continued community and relationship building. Positive highlights from the work done to this point may be shared.

Tips for Communicating with Schools Our Schools welcome communication from parents. There are different ways to reach out to school staff and the one you choose will depend on your needs.

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

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

• If further discussion is needed, schedule a 20-minute conference with your child’s teacher, school counselor or the school administrator.

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 in the following order: • Principal or principal’s designee • Elementary, middle school or high school director • Assistant superintendent • Superintendent

THE SCHOOL BOARD

The School Board The School Board is responsible for the supervision of the county’s public schools in accordance with the Code of Virginia and State Department of Education regulations. School Board members are elected every four years in the November general election with one member elected for each of the eight electoral districts and one member elected at-large. Voters chose Loudoun County’s seventh elected School Board in November 2019 and the members took office January 1, 2020. School Board members receive annual salaries of $20,000 with the chairman receiving an additional $2,000.

School Board Meetings The public is invited to attend and participate in School Board meetings held in open session at LCPS’ Administrative Offices, 21000 Education Court, Ashburn, Virginia 20148. Second Tuesday meetings typically are scheduled to convene at 4:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.; fourth Tuesday meetings typically are scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. The LCPS website calendar provides the most current meeting schedule. School Board agendas are available through BoardDocs on the school system’s website, www.lcps.org.

The most current information about the School Board’s committee meeting schedule, meeting format and opportunities for public participation is always available through the division calendar at www.lcps.org/SBCalendar. Distribution of Materials to School Board Members: Copies of materials for Board members should be given to the Public Information Officer or designee in the media box at the back of the Boardroom prior to the start of the meeting for distribution to Board members. Please provide 12 copies of materials. Under no circumstances will a speaker approach the dais.

The same sign-up requirements apply as for regular School Board meetings. Individuals may only sign up to speak once during a designated public hearing; a speaker may address the School Board at more than one public hearing, if additional public hearing dates are scheduled for different days. Time Allotment: Speakers must limit comments to the time allotted by the Chair and announced prior to the public comment period. The Chair determines the time based on the number of speakers and the agenda, but not to exceed five minutes. (The typical time allotted for individual comments is one minute.)

THE SCHOOL BOARD

BoardDocs Loudoun County Public Schools has an electronic agenda system for its School Board Meetings. Through the BoardDocs website, the public can view agendas and supporting documents associated with each School Board meeting. This allows for viewing and/or printing information prior to meetings. This electronic system saves time and resources and provides the public greater access to information that School Board members use to make decisions. After the meeting, individuals can review the agenda items and see what action was taken by the School Board, complete with voting information. All documents associated with meetings are automatically archived and can be searched by meeting date or by using the comprehensive search feature. If you have any questions regarding the BoardDocs system, please contact the Superintendent’s Office at (571) 252-1020.

Loudoun Education Foundation The Loudoun Education Foundation (LEF) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that raises private funds to enhance the quality of education in LCPS. Its team does this by connecting donors’ passions with areas of need within the school system. With the help of community partners, LEF provides weekend meals to food-insecure students, funds programs that support students’ mental health and supports projects that stimulate students’ curiosity and create exceptional learning opportunities. The Foundation secures funding for PROPEL and Level Up, an after-school STEM program that exposes students to hands-on, challenging projects, with the goal of preparing them to pursue and succeed in rigorous academic programs. Another signature program of LEF is the Virginia K-12 Computer Science Pipeline, which integrates computer science concepts into the classroom, from elementary through high school, to grow and diversify the future tech workforce. The Foundation’s support for educators includes scholarships for Classified Employees pursuing teaching degrees as well as Teacher Grants that fund innovative classroom projects. It also sponsors the Regional Science and Engineering Fair and the Outstanding Teacher Recognition Campaign.

SCHOOL BOARD DESIGNATED COMMUNITY PARTNERS

Parent Leadership Every Loudoun County school hosts a Parent Teacher Association (PTA) or Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). Some may also include students in their activities and use “PTSA” to reflect that additional partnership. PTAs and PTOs help LCPS maintain a standard of excellence by providing programs and support above the resources provided by tax funding. These groups are always in need of volunteers to enrich opportunities for students. Reach out to your child’s school for details about meetings, events and how you can get involved. The Hunt District PTA is a partner at the division level. This group provides training and workshops for school PTA leaders. Additionally, they conduct Roundtables open to PTA and PTO representatives and host Parent Information Sessions on topics of interest to Loudoun County families.

Retired Educators The Loudoun Retired Educators Association (LREA) is open to all former Loudoun County teachers, support staff and administrators. The association meets the first Thursday of each month at a local site in the Leesburg area. The association’s members share food and fellowship followed by a business meeting during which the concerns of retirees are discussed. LREA was established on June 6, 1951, and awards scholarships to graduating seniors entering the field of education. Members are involved in community activities as well as volunteering in our schools. For further information about the LREA, contact Bertha Tiffany at (703) 777-7472 or Nancy Vollmer at (703) 390-0589 or email her at nanwvollmer@gmail.com. If you are interested in attending a meeting, please contact us for the exact location.

Blackboard Mass Notification Loudoun County Public Schools utilizes the Blackboard Mass Notification phone messaging system to communicate with families about emergency situations, school events and important issues affecting their children. More information about the Blackboard Mass Notification system can be found on the LCPS website at www.lcps.org/BlackboardMN.

Weather Alerts Loudoun County Public Schools uses the Blackboard Mass Notification system and radio and television announcements, in addition to our website, e-mail and text-messaging capabilities (via the voluntary Alert Loudoun 2.0 system offered by Loudoun Government, www.loudoun.gov/alert) to notify families of weather-related closing and delays. Weather-related closing and delay messages are sent division-wide early in the morning (6 a.m.) or at night (prior to 10 p.m.) notifying parents that schools will be closed or operating on a delay due to inclement weather.

ParentVue Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) uses a secure, web-based, internally hosted application for assignments, assessments and grades called PHOENIX. Through this application, parents are able to update phone numbers, e-mail addresses and emergency contact information. Parents are also able to view some student records, grade book events, communications from teachers and an integrated calendar of various class and school dates and events. Access to PHOENIX will be provided through an activation key code in a letter sent to your mailing address after your student has completed registration with LCPS. The parent portal is called ParentVUE and is available on mobile devices as well as standard browsers. ParentVUE can be used to report tardies, absences and requests for early dismissal. Check with your student’s school for more information.

Schoology Supports the Management of Learning Resources Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) uses the Schoology Learning Management System to improve the learning environment for students, staff and families. As an integrated division-wide system, Schoology enables parents to see what their students are learning and how they are performing; teachers are able to efficiently collaborate and share resources; and administrators can monitor, track and assess student, school and division-level performance. Schoology provides a seamless learning environment to help LCPS improve student performance, foster collaboration and personalize learning for every student. Family accounts in Schoology provide better visibility into a student’s assignments and schoolwork, providing parents and families better tools to be partners in their child’s education. Parent access to the courses in which their students are enrolled includes the ability to see: • Upcoming assignments and classwork; • Recent assignments; • Overdue activities; • Groups their student is a part of; and

• A calendar displaying upcoming events and assignments for each course.

Parent accounts in Schoology also allow parents to participate in courses as learners, allowing LCPS to engage and support parents via the platform. Schoology also works hand-in-hand with Phoenix, our division’s Student Information System that houses all student records, course schedules, and teacher grade books. Parents use ParentVUE to access and update important information about their children and see up-to-date information about grades. While ParentVUE continues to provide information about student’s important records and academic progress, Schoology gives parents a new window into the work that is happening in class that leads up to the grades that display in Phoenix. For more information, visit www.blogs.lcps.org/schoology.

LCPS Equity Framework

INSTRUCTION In Loudoun County Public Schools, our mission is to empower all students to make meaningful contributions to the world. We have many instructional and assessment approaches that provide equitable, challenging, authentic deeper learning opportunities for all students, including Project-Based Learning (PBL), Performance-Based Assessments (PBA) and Personalized Learning (PL).

Elementary School, Grades K-5 Elementary education emphasizes strong basic skills in reading, language arts, mathematics, science, social science, health, art, music and physical education. All elementary students are exposed to a rich curriculum enhanced by the use of authentic, challenging problems through Project-Based Learning. Each elementary school receives services from a School Counselor, a Reading Teacher, a Media Specialist and an Instructional Facilitator, Technology. An important part of a child’s foundational experience is social-emotional learning and establishing productive citizenship within the context of the school, community, nation and world.

Middle School, Grades 6-8 Loudoun County middle schools create and maintain an environment that promotes deeper learning by engaging students in personalized, relevant learning experiences that result in a high level of academic achievement and developmental growth as measured by national, state and division standards. The curriculum focuses on core academic areas, health and physical education, world languages, an exploratory program of fine arts and career and technical education. Content area teachers, along with English Learner and Special Education teachers, work in Collaborative Learning Teams (CLTs) to analyze student data that informs their lesson planning and future interventions. Recognizing that students learn at different time intervals, teachers create authentic experiences and assessments that provide evidence of where students are in their mastery of concepts and skills at any given time. Each middle school is divided into sub-schools called “houses” creating a “school within a school” concept. LCPS middle schools utilize the framework of interdisciplinary teams, which lead to improved student achievement, increased parental contacts and an enhanced school climate. Students are further supported through a Unified Mental Health Team (UMHT) composed of the school psychologist, school social worker, student assistance specialist, school counselors, school nurse and administrators. The mission of the UMHT is to promote school-wide mental health initiatives within a multitiered system of support. The team is responsible for providing a continuum of prevention and intervention supports and services to address the social, emotional and behavioral needs of students and to remove barriers to learning in the school environment.

INSTRUCTION

High School, Grades 9-12 Many high school students’ courses are determined by state requirements for graduation. The balance may be selected from a wide variety of academic, career readiness, STEM and fine arts courses. Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment courses are also available. For students who entered 9th grade from 2013-2014 through 2017-2018, students must complete 22 course units and 6 verified credits for a Standard diploma, and 26 course units and 9 verified credits for an Advanced Studies diploma. For students who entered 9th grade in 2018-2019, and after, students must complete 22 course units and 5 verified credits for a Standard diploma and 26 course units and 5 verified credits for an Advanced Studies diploma. School counselors assist students in selecting courses, in designing an individualized program of studies to meet the desired diploma requirements and in applying to post-secondary schools and colleges.

Profile of a Graduate

Loudoun County Public Schools is one of 31 school divisions across the Commonwealth to join the Virginia is for Learners Innovation Network. The network encourages its participating school divisions to create a Profile of a Graduate that “describes the knowledge, skills, experiences and attributes that students must attain to be successful in college and/or the workforce and to be ‘life-ready.’” The LCPS Profile of a Graduate identifies the 5 C’s each student should develop through interacting with authentic, challenging problems:

INSTRUCTION

Special Education LCPS provides a free appropriate public education to all children with disabilities aged two to 21, inclusive, residing in Loudoun County.

Students in grades 1-8 take the MAP growth assessment in Mathematics. Students in grades 2-8 take the MAP growth assessment in Reading. Ninth and tenth grade students take the MAP growth test in Algebra or Geometry. The MAP test is designed to measure students’ readiness for learning specific content, skills and academic growth over time. MAP results are used by teachers to assist students in setting growth goals, to differentiate instruction based on students’ strengths/needs and to monitor students’ progress toward their growth goals throughout the year. MAP results are used by building administrators to identify the knowledge and skill levels of students in a classroom or grade and to plan for professional development based on patterns in instructional strengths and needs. MAP results are used by central office staff to identify program strengths and needs and to assess the implementation and impact of LCPS initiatives. Assessment reports are provided to parents/guardians after the test window has closed via the Documents tab within ParentVUE.

Report Cards and Parent/Teacher Conferences Report cards are posted in ParentVUE four times during the year for all grade levels. During the 2021-2022 school year, marking periods will end on October 28, January 28, April 8 and June 15.

Emergency Action Procedures 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 Loudoun Alert. Should the school be evacuated, a reunification site will be identified and communicated. Law enforcement and fire/rescue personnel will establish a perimeter and restrict all access to the school. LCPS will continue to update parents/ guardians on conditions. Under no circumstances should families respond to their child’s school during an 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 or harm to the occupants of the school. This may also involve quickly moving students and staff from unsecured locations to secure locations or outside and away from the threat. School staff will notify law enforcement through 911 and contact the LCPS Security Operations Center (SOC) when practical. Secure the building - Secure the Building is used to prevent unauthorized entry if the potential threat is outside and in the vicinity of the school. An armed robbery, police foot pursuit and irate parent/visitor are just three examples. Outside activities are cancelled and anyone outside at activation is instructed to move inside; all exterior doors are secured while staff and students are free to move about inside the school. All visitors and deliveries are turned away during this scenario and dismissals would also be delayed if warranted. If appropriate, 911 should be utilized to notify law enforcement and the LCPS SOC should be contacted as soon as possible. Shelter-In-Place - Shelter-in-Place procedures are used to temporarily shelter people from a hazardous outdoor atmosphere, such as weather or a chemical, biological or radiological incident. During this scenario all exterior doors should be locked and measures should be taken to shut down the intake of outside air if warranted. No one can enter the school until public safety officials declare the area clear. If appropriate, 911 should be utilized to notify law enforcement, fire/rescue and the LCPS SOC should be contacted as soon as possible. Evacuate - Evacuate is used to describe situations where the building has become uninhabitable and must be evacuated. A fire, chemical spill, or credible bomb threat are just three examples. During this scenario all personnel will relocate to a predetermined location outside of the school. Once at that location a decision will be made on a potential evacuation to a secondary location further from the source of the problem.

STUDENT SUPPORT AND SERVICES

McKinney-Vento Services If you or your family is currently facing a loss of housing and staying in a place that is not stable, fixed or regular, your child may qualify for McKinney-Vento services. Some of these services include free meals, immediate enrollment and access to the last school your child was attending if you are now living outside of the school’s attendance zone. To apply for these services, you can complete an application on the LCPS website at www.lcps.org/mckinney-vento. You can also reach out to your child’s school and let the staff know you need assistance in applying for services and they can complete an application for you. The application is available in Spanish and English.

Child Care Loudoun County Public Schools does not provide afterschool childcare; however, such care is provided at schools by the county’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services through its CASA program. To find out about this program call (703) 737-8042.

Technology Support The Department of Digital Innovation (DDI) provides leadership for developing and implementing digital innovation initiatives for meaningful, effective and secure uses of technology throughout the division. DDI contributes to the infusion of digital innovation into teaching and learning, as well as the operations of the division, by providing leadership and support in all areas of digital innovation planning and technology resource management. Each district school/site receives technology support via an assigned Digital Experience Specialist. Staff members or students who need technology support should reach out to their assigned Digital Experience Specialist. The contact information for your assigned Digital Experience Specialist is in the staff directory located within each school website. Parents should reach out directly to their local school for assistance. District staff needing immediate assistance, during normal business hours, can contact the DDI Technology Support Center at (571) 252-2112 or submit an incident in the Technology Support Center portal (www.supportcenter.lcps.org). For more information, please visit the Department of Digital Innovation’s webpage on the LCPS website at www.lcps.org/DDI.

POLICIES AND REGULATIONS Loudoun school policies are published in the School Board Policy Manual, “Loudoun County Public Schools Policies and Regulations,” posted to our website, www.lcps.org, as mandated by the Code of Virginia. Printed copies of the policies are available as needed to citizens who do not have online access. The “Student Rights and Responsibilities,” which explains policies and rules for school conduct, has also been posted on our website. This Guide and Directory is not meant to be a comprehensive listing of all the rules and regulations governing Loudoun County Public Schools. This is merely an abbreviated compilation of some of the policies that are most often asked about.

Minute of Silence The Commonwealth of Virginia requires that each school day begins with a minute of silence. Students shall not disrupt or distract the rights of others during the minute of silence.

Pledge of Allegiance The Commonwealth of Virginia requires the daily recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. It provides that no student shall be compelled to recite the Pledge if the student or the parent/ guardian objects on religious, philosophical or other grounds to the student’s participating in this exercise. It further provides that students who are exempt from recitation of the Pledge shall remain quietly standing or sitting at their desk while others recite the Pledge and shall make no display that disrupts or distracts others.

Excused Absences School principals excuse student absences for such reasons as medical appointments, court appearances, religious holidays and personal illness. Students who need to be dismissed for part of the day on a regular basis must obtain a waiver from the Superintendent, Policy 8-17.

POLICIES AND REGULATIONS

Dress Code Policy The student dress code supports our goal of inspiring students to learn while leaving primary decisions around student clothing and style to students and their parents/guardians. Our expectation is that parents/guardians are responsible for ensuring student compliance with the school’s dress code, and students are responsible for knowing the student dress code and for complying during school hours and school activities. See Policy 8270 for details.

Dances Loudoun County Public Schools reserves the right to deny entrance to a school dance if the rules, guidelines and expectations of School Board policy are not followed. In addition, students will be asked to leave a dance if their behavior is not acceptable. Students will be expected to abide by any other rules deemed appropriate by the administration and sponsor of the individual school. Rules and expectations for students and their guests at LCPS dances include:

• School rules are in force for dances held at the schools or off campus.

• Students must adhere to the School Board Alcohol, Drug, Tobacco and Electronic Cigarettes Policy 8240.

• Students must adhere to the School Board Weapons Policy 8235. • No use of inappropriate language. • No fighting or harassing behavior. • No inappropriate dancing.

• Those attending dances are expected to wear appropriate attire.

It is the responsibility of LCPS students to ensure that their guests understand and adhere to these rules and expectations.

Alcohol, Drugs, Tobacco and Electronic Cigarettes The Loudoun County School Board is committed to supporting students to abstain from the possession, use, distribution, and/or sale of alcohol, illicit and unauthorized drugs, tobacco and electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes). It is prohibited by LCPS policy and law for students to possess, distribute, sell, use, or be under the influence of alcohol, drugs, tobacco, and/ or e-cigarettes while under school authority, on a school bus, at a school bus stop, on school property, or at school-sponsored activity on or away from school property. Staff will intervene when a violation is detected, take appropriate corrective disciplinary action and provide educational support for all students. Students who violate Policy 8240, Alcohol, Drug, Tobacco and Electronic Cigarettes, may be recommended by the principal for long-term

POLICIES AND REGULATIONS suspension or expulsion from school and will be reported to law enforcement. Substance use education is delivered through a collaboration between the Department of Instruction and the Department of Student Services in Loudoun County Public Schools. The expectation is that all students will be educated in learning environments that are safe, drug free and conducive to learning. LCPS Student Assistance Specialists provide substance use prevention education presentations at the secondary level which promote positive alternatives to alcohol and drug use and healthy coping skills. Assessment, consultation, intervention and referral services are provided by LCPS Student Assistance Specialists.

Medication in School When possible, all medicine should be administered to students at home, per School Board Policy 8420. If a student must take prescription medicine at school, the medication will be administered by the school nurse, health clinic specialist, the principal or the principal’s designee. Non-prescription medicine may be taken by students only under the supervision of the school nurse, health clinic specialist, principal or the principal’s designee. All medicine must be brought to school by the parent/guardian unless the student has a Physician’s Order to carry and/or self-administer. If the student has a Physician’s Order the student may transport insulin and/or emergency medicine including Glucagon, epinephrine auto-injectors and rescue inhalers. All medicine must be in the original, labeled container.

Child Abuse and Neglect Virginia law requires school employees to report suspected cases of child abuse or neglect to the Department of Social Services. This law provides immunity from civil or criminal liability in connection with these reports, unless malicious intent is proved.

Rights of 18-Year-Olds Since students 18 or older have many of the legal rights and responsibilities of adults, these students may act in place of their parents in some instances where parental permission is required of younger students; 18-year-olds may provide their own excuses for school absences and permission for school trips.

FINANCE LCPS operates on an annual budget adopted by the School Board. Local revenue appropriated by the Board of Supervisors provides the major source of funding. School operating budgets are planned with input from parents and the general public.

School Bond Vote on November 2, 2021 Bond funding for school construction will be up for voter approval in the November 2, 2021, election. On the referendum this year are the costs to design, construct and equip ES-32 Dulles South; the costs to design, construct and improve the LCPS Facility Renewals and Alterations; School Security Improvements; School Bus Replacement and Acquisition; Valley Service Center Replacement and Bus Parking; and the costs of other public school facilities as requested by the Loudoun County School Board. The maximum amount in capital improvement bonds this referendum would authorize is $135,026,000. LCPS’ enrollment is expected to be 85,867 by the start of the 2021-2022 school year and 88,523 by the start of the 20222023 school year.

STUDENT RECORDS In compliance with federal laws, the rights of parents or guardians of students up to 18 years of age (hereafter called parents) and the rights of students 18 years or older (hereafter called eligible students) concerning student records are listed below.

Types and Location of Records A scholastic record is maintained on every student enrolled in LCPS. At a minimum, the student scholastic record contains directory information, grades, health and physical education records, discipline records, if any, and the results of standardized group testing. Any individual special evaluations (psychological, medical, psycho-educational or social history) as well as official records relating to the special education or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and records relating to the gifted program, Title I, Head Start and other special programs also may be found in the scholastic record. The student scholastic record is kept at the school currently attended by the student. Files for students who have left the system are kept for five years at the last school attended. After five years, the student file is archived by the Student Records Division. The principal is the custodian of the scholastic record. A portion of some students’ files may be kept in the central office; the scholastic record will specify location. Student scholastic records are not retained permanently. Parents or eligible students have a right to a copy of any information that will be destroyed. A record of the student’s name, birth date, address, telephone number, grades, attendance record, health immunization record, classes attended, grade-level and year completed is kept for 75 years. LCPS will maintain a cumulative student record until five years after a student has graduated or left the school system. After that time, only state-required data will be maintained and the balance of the records will be destroyed. The special education portions of student records are destroyed five years from the date of graduation, transfer, or withdrawal from the school system. Upon request, a copy of the special education portions of a students’ file may be accessed prior to their destruction. Inquiries concerning archived student records should be directed to the Records Manager at (540) 751-2594.

Disclosure of Records Parents/guardians and eligible students may inspect their records by requesting access and identifying themselves to the custodian of records. Students under 18 may inspect their records only with the written consent of a parent or legal guardian. This does not preclude the school from giving students data from the records. School personnel with legitimate educational interest in a student or responsibility for the record system have access to records. Certain non-school personnel by law have access to records or information from them. Records are transferred, upon request, to a school in which a student seeks to enroll. No other disclosure of information from a student’s record is permitted without written consent of the parent/guardian or eligible student.

STUDENT RECORDS

Copies of Records Parents and eligible students may obtain copies of records. Annually, the school division shall provide, free of charge, one copy of a student’s scholastic record when it is 25 pages or less. Scholastic records in excess of 25 pages shall be charged at $0.10 per page beyond the initial 25 pages. All additional copies requested will be charged at $0.10 per page, for all pages.

Amendment of Records A parent or eligible student may seek amendment of information in the student’s record if it is believed to be inaccurate, misleading or in violation of the student’s privacy or other rights. Such requests should be made to the custodian of the records, who shall decide within 15 working days whether or not to amend the record as requested. If differences cannot be reconciled by informal means, a hearing before the Assistant Superintendent for Pupil Services may be requested to decide the matter.

Release of Directory Information The following information may be released without prior consent: names and addresses of students and parents, telephone number, e-mail address, date and place of birth, dates of attendance and grade levels, Division student ID number, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, height and weight of members of athletic teams, awards and honors received and other similar information specified by administrative regulation. Parents/guardians and eligible students have the right to refuse disclosure of such data by writing the school. School Board policy on directory information conveys no rights to non-school organizations, agencies, or persons to copies of the information.

Complaint Procedure Allegations of failure of LCPS to comply with federal law (Title 20, U.S. Code, 1232g) concerning student records may be filed in writing to: Student Privacy Policy Office U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, S.W. Washington, DC 20202-8520

Safety & Security The safety and security of all Loudoun County Public Schools students and staff is our top priority. For this reason, LCPS utilizes a multi-layered safety plan at all our campuses and facilities.

Visitor Management Protocols

Safety begins with our visitor management protocols. All exterior doors on LCPS buildings are locked, so visitors need to approach the school’s main entrance, where they will find a video intercom. They should press the buzzer, show a government-issued photo ID and state the purpose of their visit. Once school staff has confirmed that the visitor is expected, they will be granted access to the main office. In the office, they will sign into a computer system that requires the scanning of a driver’s license. They will then be given a visitor’s badge to wear during their visit.

See Something, Say Something/Safe2Talk App

Safety and security is everyone’s job so if you see or hear something that is concerning, please report it. It’s simple: See Something, Say Something. There are several ways to report information. The best way is to report the information directly to your principal or law enforcement. You can also report information anonymously through the Safe2Talk app that can be downloaded to any mobile device. Tips submitted through this app are monitored 24/7 by the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, Leesburg Police Department and school security. Any information reported will be thoroughly investigated and, if necessary, reviewed by our school-based threat assessment teams.

Security Operations Center

The LCPS Security Operations Center (SOC) operates 24/7, 365-days per year to monitor activities at our facilities. Community members who need to report a concern may call (703) 779-8833.

School Resource Officers

In our schools, you’ll see School Resource Officers (SROs) who are sworn law enforcement officers. School Security Officers are LCPS employees who help support the security requirements of our schools. These officers help cultivate an inclusive and safe environment where students and staff feel comfortable reporting concerning behaviors.

Threat Assessment Teams

Every school also has multidisciplinary threat assessment teams that evaluate all potential threats, as well as school-specific emergency response plans.

Emergency Closing

Loudoun County Public Schools uses the Blackboard Mass Notification system, in addition to our website, e-mail and textmessaging capabilities (via the voluntary Alert Loudoun 2.0 system offered by Loudoun Government, www.loudoun.gov/alert) to provide families information regarding closings, delays, early dismissals and special circumstances. Announcements are sent to the following radio and TV stations and posted the LCPS website, www.lcps.org: WTOP 103.5 FM/103.9 FM WINC 92.5 FM WMAL 630 AM WTOP 1500 AM
