Special Permission Guidelines
Special Permission is approved for one school year only.
In order for a student to continue at the school they are attending on special permission, a renewal must be submitted and approved during the request window.
Middle and high school students may be approved for multiple years until the student completes the highest grade-level at the school where special permission was granted.
Middle and high school parents should renew by April 30 for over-enrolled schools.
An approved special permission request requires that the parent/guardian/student provide daily transportation to and from school.
Certain athletic or league participation restrictions -
For students in grades 9 - 12 only
Athletic eligibility is determined by the Virginia High School League (VHSL) Handbook rules, which are based upon the school of enrollment for a new ninth grade student. If a high school student is placed at a school other than a student’s home school or moves back to the home school after attending a school outside of their attendance zone, it is considered a transfer by the Virginia High School League (VHSL) and renders a student ineligible for participation in league activities for 365 days. Parents are advised to contact the Supervisor of Athletics at Derek.Farrey@lcps.org if you have questions about the status of your student’s VHSL eligibility.
Special Permission can be rescinded.
I acknowledge that I have read and understand the text above.
I am the parent/custodial parent or court-appointed guardian. In the case where there is joint/shared custody, I am not aware of any objection to the submission of this request by any other parties having joint/shared custody.
