Computing Services

Testing Season is upon us!

It’s said a body needs 8 hours of sleep every night. That’s especially true during the testing season. Student Chromebooks also need a good night of charging. Please help your students remember to bring their Chromebooks fully charged every day.

Walled Garden

There are many “layers” of digital protections that follow your student as they progress through their life in LPS. Informed by federal/state laws and guided by LPS Board of Education policies, the District builds a digital “walled garden” where students can collaborate with peers and teachers while also keeping their data secure.

SENIOR Government & Politics Service Learning Hours

FAFSA Announcement

Federal Student Aid has announced that the FAFSA processing will be delayed until March. What this means for families:

  • FAFSA Submission Summaries will be available in the first half of March.
  • Colleges will not receive information until March, so financial aid offers will be delayed until April or May.

If you’re applying for need-based scholarships, keep track of the two items listed below, as they will be all you have available to prove financial need until your FAFSA Submission Summary is ready. These documents must include the student’s first and last name and Student Aid Index (SAI).

  • PDF of the FAFSA confirmation page. View a sample
  • PDF of the confirmation email (subject: We’ve Received Your FAFSA Form). View a sample

Visit the EducationQuest website for more information about the FAFSA.

SCIP Newsletter

SCIP provides prevention, education, and early intervention services. We recognize that a child’s behavioral health needs must be addressed early on-set rather than waiting until they have progressed to a more critical level and are more challenging to address. For more information about SCIP, contact Kelsey Dady, our SCIP coordinator, at kdady@lps.org
