LCMS Bobcat Parents and Families,
Open House
We look forward to welcoming Bobcats to the Open House on
Thursday, August 6th, from 3:30 to 7:00 p.m.
Parking will be available in the bus lot and the main LCMS parking lot.
Equipment insurance is available for Chromebooks for $20, which can be paid online in the returning student registration or with cash or check in the gym during Open House. We encourage you to purchase equipment insurance, which covers accidental damage at no cost for the first incident and at 50% of the repair cost or replacement, whichever is less, for the second incident of accidental damage.
Please note that lost chargers are not covered by the equipment insurance, nor is intentional damage.
It is helpful for students to bring the printed schedule to Open House and to school for the first week or two while they are finding their classrooms. Encourage your child that, of course, if they need help, they just need to ask the nearest adult! We are here to help ensure every student has a positive start to the school year!
Accessing Student Class Schedules
Schedules are viewable in PowerSchool Student and Parent Portals, which can be accessed at
louisa.powerschool.com.
There has been a change to how students log in that will make it even easier to access schedules, grades, and other information. Instead of logging in with a username and password, students should sign in with their LCPS Google account.
Returning Student Registration
Returning Student Registration needs to be completed online for all students before the end of Open House on Thursday, August 6th. You should have received an email from PowerSchool Registration. Please follow the instructions in the email to complete the documents If you have questions or need assistance, you may call the help desk at 540-894-4373 or email
[email protected].
Computers will be available in the gym during Open House for anyone who would like to complete the registration process while at school! Online Returning Student Registration should be completed for all students by the end of the evening of Open House, Thursday, August 6th, and must be completed before the first day of school, Wednesday, August 12th.
*If you must reset your password, ensure you are in the Returning Student Registration 2026-2027 section of the dashboard. This is important because accessing the correct registration module ensures that your credentials are reset for the upcoming academic year’s processes, such as updating information or completing required forms for your student.
Change of Address
If your address has changed, please contact the main office to inquire about the “LCPS Change of Address Form” and “LCPS Transportation Registration Form.” You are required to provide proof of residence and a utility bill with your new address. For more information, please call Mrs. Banning at (540) 894-5457, extension 2023.
LCPS Transportation Registration Form
If your address has not changed, but instead, your child’s pick-up/drop-off location for transportation has changed, you will need to contact the main office to inquire about the “LCPS Transportation Registration Form.” You do not need to come into the main office to fill out this form. This form can be faxed/scanned/emailed to you and then faxed/scanned/emailed back to the school. For more information, please call Mrs. Banning at (540) 894-5457, extension 2023.
School Supplies
Teachers will provide students with a list of recommended school supplies during Open House and the first week of school. For the start of the school year, students are asked to bring basic school supplies with them, such as loose-leaf paper, spiral notebooks, pencils, and a water bottle.
Additionally, with the use of weapons detectors at our school, we also would like to provide you with a few guidelines that will help guide you as you make purchases in the near future:
- All three-ring binders should be 1.5 inches or less.
- Use plastic water bottles when possible. If you do purchase metal water bottles, please opt for small/medium-sized bottles.
- Avoid purchasing wheeled, rolling backpacks if possible.
- Do not purchase adult-sized scissors. Instead, opt for blunt, small/medium-sized scissors.
Students need a combination lock to secure their belongings in their physical education locker.
LCMS PTA
We encourage you to join the LCMS PTA as a supporting member ($10). By paying dues, you are not committing to attending meetings or participating in any way that does not interest you; you are simply showing your support for the work the PTA does at our school! Any adult individual can join the LCMS PTA...mothers, fathers, grandparents and extended family, teachers, school staff, community members, and business leaders! Sign up at

LCMS Back to School Letter that was mailed with schedules for more information for the beginning of the school year.
If you have any questions, or if we can help in any way, please call our office at (540) 894-5457. We are excited to kick off a great school year!
