For students who may have travel planned during the term

When considering enrollment for Virtual Loudoun Online (VLO), please know that access to LCPS platforms is blocked for students traveling outside the United States.  However, it is possible for students traveling outside the United States to maintain access to LCPS resources provided families specify the travel start and end dates for the student in ParentVUE.  Travel start and end dates must be entered for each child who will be traveling outside the country.  It can take up to 24 hours for updates to take effect. Please consider this when scheduling travel plans with your student.  (Please review the information under ParentVUE Data & Security for specific steps.) Additionally, we may be unable to accommodate technology concerns with your students' LCPS-issued devices for those who have traveled outside of Loudoun County.
