Parents/Guardians of students who were enrolled in Culpeper County Public Schools for the 2023-2024 school year should have received an email earlier today to complete a registration update for the 2024-2025 school year. If you did not receive the link, click here: https://www.culpeperschools.org/o/ccps/page/returning-student-registration
This registration update for “returning students” is required in order for students to start school on August 7th.
If you completed a "New School Enrollment" for 2024-2025, you do not need to complete "Returning Student Registration."
It is extremely important that families log in to their parent portal account and complete the “returning student” registration for each child in school. This is an opportunity to review and update any changes to your address, phone numbers, email, health information, emergency contacts, and transportation plan for the new school year.
For issues logging in to Parent Portal or to request paper registration forms, families should contact their child’s school.
