Registration Details

ALL RETURNING FAMILIES WITH NEW AND RETURNING CHILDREN (K-12), please use the Infinite Campus Parent website to register your children. The link for Online Registration can be found under the More tab within the Infinite Campus Parent website. If you do not have an Infinite Campus Parent account set up, please contact your child’s school to do this. Using the Infinite Campus Parent website will save you time because you will not have to re-enter basic information that the school already has and will prevent duplicate entries of your child. All you will need to do is update any changes and add any new children (for example if you have children attending LCS already and have a kindergarten student attending for the first time) before submitting the online registration application through your Infinite Campus Parent account.

ALL NEW FAMILIES (K-12) WITH NEW CHILDREN ONLY, please use the NEW PARENT online registration link. 

For Pre-Kindergarten applications, please complete the form that can be found at www.lcsedu.net/departments/curriculum/pre-k.

For parents unable to complete online registration at home, LCS will have kiosks set up at various school sites for you to use. Simply contact the school your child will be attending to set up a time to use a kiosk.

Two proofs of residency will be required for all students, new and returning.  This can be done as part of Online Registration or in person at the student's school.

Valid proof of residency includes:

• Current utility bill (gas, oil, electric, water, cable, land line)
• Rent/mortgage agreement
• Current rent receipts with address on receipt
• Closing papers of home purchased
• City registration of vehicle (The City of Lynchburg requires that vehicles be registered within 30 days of moving to Lynchburg)

A driver’s license is not considered a proof of residency.

If you do not have the above, and you and your children are living with someone else in the city, you need to provide the division with the following:

• a notarized letter from the person with whom you are living, stating that the parent/guardian and child are residing with them at this address, and the date they moved to this address; and
• two proofs of residency from the person with whom you are living (the name on the notarized letter needs to match the name on the two proofs of residency).

The federal McKinney-Vento Act guarantees school enrollment to anyone who, due to a lack of permanent housing, lives in an inadequate or temporary setting, such as: emergency shelters or domestic violence shelters; motels, hotel, or campgrounds due to lack of an an adequate alternative; cars, parks, public places, bus or train stations, or abandoned buildings; or doubled up with relatives or friends due to loss of housing or economic hardship.

The physical exam must have been completed within twelve months prior to enrollment. Admission of students without a physical examination is not allowed!
