SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE As Superintendent of Loudoun County Public Schools, it’s my honor to welcome you to the 2025-2026 school year!

Academically, LCPS ranks among the best school divisions in our Commonwealth and the nation. We have a great deal to be proud of as we work together to help each LCPS student access rigorous coursework, innovative learning opportunities and resources to prepare them for success in college, the military, the workforce and in life.

Students are at the center of our work. LCPS learning communities are places where students and teachers can devote their attention to learning and teaching in a safe, welcoming, affirming and academically rigorous environment.

We value our students and we hold ourselves accountable to the parents and communities that support them. We are dedicated to excellence and equitable opportunity for all. And, most importantly, we look forward to nurturing the limitless potential.

With gratitude and appreciation,

Aaron Spence, Ed.D. Superintendent

The School Board is responsible for supervising the county’s public schools per the Code of Virginia and State Department of Education regulations. School Board members are elected public officials. The School Board consists of one member for each of the eight electoral districts of Loudoun County and one member who is elected atlarge. The process of electing School Board members ensures that the community’s diverse beliefs and values are represented. School Board members receive annual salaries, as per Virginia law and the approved annual budget, with the Board Chair receiving an additional salary as specified in the annually adopted budget.

The Loudoun County School Board has adopted staggered terms, starting with the November 2023 general election, in accordance with the amended Code of Virginia, as per Va. Code § 22.1-57.3:1.1, the Loudoun County Electoral Board has determined the following staggered terms for the School Board members elected in the November 2023 general election. Members elected from the Ashburn, Catoctin, and Little River Districts and the At-Large (Countywide) District will serve four-year terms. Those elected from the Algonkian, Broad Run, Dulles, Leesburg and Sterling Districts in November 2023 will serve a two-year term. After this initial two-year term, these members will serve four-year terms in subsequent elections.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS: Regular School Board meetings are official and formal business meetings at which the School Board meets to deliberate and take action on the business of the school division. Items presented for a vote are usually researched and considered during School Board Committee meetings.

POLICIES AND REGULATIONS

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). LCPS policy and state law prohibits students from possessing, distributing, selling, using, or being 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. Students who violate Policy 8240, Alcohol, Drug, Tobacco and Electronic Cigarettes, may receive a long-term suspension or expulsion from school. The principal or principal designee should report violations to local law enforcement as required by Virginia code.

LCPS Student Assistance Specialists (SAS) provide substance use prevention education presentations at the secondary level. They also provide assessment, consultation, intervention, and referral services for students who violate the policy or those who wish to participate on a voluntary basis.

Amendment of Records A parent or eligible student may seek to amend information in the student’s record if it is believed to be inaccurate, misleading or violating 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 to amend the record as requested.

If differences cannot be reconciled informally, an appeal and hearing may be requested for the assistant superintendent of student services to decide the matter.

LCPS Policy 8140 addresses student attendance requirements and school attendance procedures. All students, including 18-year-old students, must comply with established release procedures.

Child Abuse and Neglect Virginia law requires school employees to report suspected cases of child abuse or neglect to Loudoun County Child Protective Services. This law provides immunity from civil or criminal liability concerning reports unless malicious intent is proven.

Certain non-school personnel, by law, have access to records or information from them.

13

POLICIESAND AND REGULATIONS POLICIES REGULATIONS

Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student to release any information from a student’s education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, under certain conditions. This includes providing records, by request, to a school where a student seeks to enroll.

Dress Code Policy The student dress code aims to inspire students to learn while leaving primary decisions around student clothing and style to students and their parents or guardians. The division expects that parents or guardians are responsible for ensuring student compliance with the school’s dress code, that students know the dress code and that they comply during school hours and activities. LCPS Policy 8270 outlines the guidelines, standards and implementation procedures for student dress during the school day and other school-related activities.

LCPS middle schools promote challenging, personalized yet relevant learning experiences resulting in a high level of academic achievement and developmental growth as measured by national, state and division standards.

Each middle school is set up into sub-schools called “houses,” creating a school-within-a-school concept.

Athletics and Extracurricular Activities The Division of Athletics and Extracurricular Activities supports programs that provide students with opportunities to develop lifelong lessons in teamwork, empathy, work ethic, resilience and the pursuit of shared goals, all grounded in the values of respect and honor. These programs promote environments where students are challenged to grow physically, mentally, emotionally and socially while providing opportunities to strengthen individual skills and reach their full potential.

Through participation in LCPS activities, students learn how to work collaboratively as part of a team, recognizing that personal achievements are valued but ultimately serve the greater success of the group. Athletics and activities also foster the pursuit of excellence within the boundaries of good sportsmanship and conduct while promoting school spirit and community pride.

Additionally, these experiences encourage a lifelong appreciation for physical fitness, wellness and empathy, helping students develop positive attitudes that empower them to make meaningful contributions to the world.

EMERGENCY ACTIONS AND COMMUNICATION

LCPS communicates with families and staff using all available communication methods in an emergency. For staff, this may include emails, phone calls, overhead announcements and use of the Raptor Emergency Management System. For families, this may include emails, phone calls and text messages.

Emergency Action Procedures The LCPS Safety and Security Office utilizes Department of Homeland Security best practices regarding 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 directions during emergencies.

If a school is in an emergency, parents or guardians listed for contact will be notified via email and Loudoun Alert. If necessary, a reunification site will be identified and communicated should the school be evacuated. Public safety personnel will establish a perimeter and restrict all access to the school. LCPS will continue to update parents or guardians on conditions. Under no circumstances should families respond to their child’s school during an emergency.

The following emergency action terminology is used throughout LCPS and may be found at www.lcps.org/safetyandsecurity.

1.

Lockdown is used to describe enhanced security measures taken to protect against potentially violent intruders who may be inside the school or on the school campus. The response 37

EMERGENCY ACTIONS AND COMMUNICATION secures students and staff, usually in classrooms, to prevent access or harm to the school’s occupants. 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.

2. Secure the Building is used to prevent unauthorized entry if the potential threat is outside and near the school. An armed robbery, police foot pursuit or wild animals in the area of the school are just three examples. Outside activities are canceled and anyone outside at activation is instructed to move inside.

All exterior doors are secured and staff and students are free to move about inside the school. All visitors and deliveries are initially turned away and dismissals would also be delayed if warranted. If appropriate, 911 will be utilized to notify public safety and the LCPS SOC will be contacted as soon as possible.

3. 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 outside air intake if warranted.

No one can enter the school until public safety officials clear the area. If appropriate, 911 should be utilized to notify public safety and the LCPS SOC should be contacted as soon as possible.

4. Evacuate is used to describe situations where the building has become uninhabitable and must be evacuated. A fire or chemical spill are 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.

5. Hold temporarily holds students and staff in place, usually in classrooms. A medical emergency in a hallway is an example of an incident that may require this action.

38

EMERGENCY ACTIONS AND COMMUNICATION

Visitor Management Protocols All exterior doors on LCPS buildings are locked. Visitors need to approach the school’s main entrance video intercom. Visitors are to press the buzzer, show a government-issued photo ID and state the purpose of the visit. Once school staff have confirmed the reason for the visit, the visitor will be granted access to the main office, where they will sign into a computer system. All visits require scanning a government-issued photo ID and a visitor’s badge will be provided to wear during the visit.

See Something, Say Something and Safe2Talk Safety and security is everyone’s responsibility. Anyone seeing or hearing something concerning must report the issue.

While something may seem insignificant, when reported and pieced together with existing information, it may save lives.

Concerning information should be reported to the principal or law enforcement.

Reports can also be made anonymously through the Safe2Talk app, available on Google Play or the App Store.

Tips and reports submitted through the app are monitored 24/7 by the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, Leesburg Police Department and school security. Information reported will be thoroughly investigated and mitigated.

EMERGENCY ACTIONS AND COMMUNICATION Security Operations Center The LCPS Security Operations Center (SOC) operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year to monitor security across LCPS. To contact the SOC, call (703) 779-8833.

School Resource Officers and School Security Officers School Resource Officers (SROs) who serve LCPS schools are sworn law enforcement officers. School Security Officers (SSOs) are LCPS employees who help support school security requirements. Officers support administrative teams by cultivating an inclusive and safe environment where students and staff feel comfortable reporting concerning behaviors.

SROs and SSOs also serve as trusted adults and role models within schools.

Threat Assessment Teams and Crisis Management Plans Every school has multidisciplinary threat assessment teams that evaluate all potential threats as well as school-specific crisis management plans.

Weather Alerts LCPS uses the Mass Notification system and radio and television announcements in addition to its website, email and text-messaging capabilities (via the voluntary Alert Loudoun 2.0 system offered by Loudoun County Government, https://www. loudoun.gov/alert) to notify families of weather-related closings and delays. Information about closings or delays will be listed on LCPS’ official platforms.

Weather-related closing and delay messages are division-wide messages sent early in the morning (around 6 a.m.) or at night (before 10 p.m.) notifying parents that schools will be closed or operating on a delay due to inclement weather. More information about closings and delays is available at www.lcps.org/weather.

INSTRUCTION TEACHING AND LEARNING

Addressing Concerns with Schools • LCPS schools welcome communication from parents.

There are different ways to reach out to school staff. These tips help engage families early and successfully navigate language and cultural differences based on a family’s specific needs.

• When a concern arises, it should first be addressed at the level where it occurred. Most often, the classroom teacher is the first mode of communication.

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

• If the same concern arises again, consider a 10-minute phone call with a 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 administrator.

• If the concern needs to be escalated, the following order should be utilized: ° Principal or principal’s designee ° Elementary, middle school or high school director or executive principal ° Chief of Schools ° Superintendent 43

Accreditation All high schools are provided an accreditation rating through the Virginia Board of Education’s Standards of Accreditation. As defined by the Virginia Department of Education, the standards of accreditation: • Provide an essential foundation of educational programs of high quality in all schools for all students; • Encourage continuous appraisal and improvement of the school program to raise student achievement; • Foster public confidence; • Assure recognition of Virginia’s public schools by other institutions of learning; and, • Establish a means of determining the effectiveness of schools.

High schools also participate in an external accreditation review cycle every five years through Cognia. Cognia accreditation represents the unified policies and procedures for accreditation from three regionally recognized K-12 accrediting bodies including the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation (SACS), the Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC) and the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI).
