🚲E-Bikes at Landstown High
In accordance with VBCPS Policy 7-57, electronic-powered bicycles and other motorized devices may not be operated or used on school property, buses, or grounds without prior approval from the building administrator or designee. This prohibition also includes, but is not limited to, mopeds, motorized scooters, motorized skateboards, golf carts, low-speed vehicles, battery-operated ride-on vehicles, and similar devices. Additionally, all Virginia Laws and Local Virginia Beach Rules must be followed.

Families of students who wish to use an electronic-powered bicycle (e-bike) on school grounds must complete the E-Bike Request Form to request authorization. Please note that submitting a request does not guarantee approval.

See News from the Nest, emailed on Saturday, August 22 for a copy of the E-Bike Request Form.

If approval is granted, students must follow these expectations along with all Virginia Beach City Code:

A LHS decal must be displayed at all times on school grounds.
E-bikes must be parked and secured at a bike rack located at the front or back of the building.
E-bikes may not be operated on the grass, sidewalks, or bus loop.
Excessive speed, dangerous maneuvers, or reckless operation are prohibited.
Students must follow all school safety procedures and staff directions regarding e-bike use.
E-bike riders 14 or younger must always wear a helmet; for Class 3 e-bikes, the state law applies for all riders and passengers.
Failure to follow these expectations may result in the school revoking the student's e-bike approval.

👩🏻‍⚕️👩🏻‍⚕️👩🏻‍⚕️News From Our Clinic
Dear Parents and Guardians,

Nursing care for your child during the school year.

The school clinic is equipped to provide first-aid for school-related illnesses and injuries. In addition, I will provide treatments and medications that have been ordered, in writing, by your child’s doctor, and develop a school health care plan if necessary.

Medications:

Virginia Beach School Board regulation states that any student required to take prescription or over-the-counter medication in school must have an order from either a physician, nurse practitioner, dentist, or physician’s assistant, and signed permission from the parent/guardian on one of the following forms: a) Request for Administration of Medication in Hampton Roads Schools, b) Asthma Action Plan, c) Diabetic Management Plan, and/or d) Life-threatening Allergy Management Plan. These forms are available from the school clinic and are posted on the www.vbschools.com website. All student medication must be brought directly to the clinic by the parent/guardian and must either be in the original prescription bottle with a label that matches the medication order or in an unopened sealed container, if it is an over-the-counter medication. A parent/guardian may come to the clinic during the school day to administer medication to their child.

💵On Demand Economics & Personal Finance – Fall 2026
VBCPS is offering eligible 10th-grade students an opportunity to complete Economics & Personal Finance (EPF) through the On Demand EPF Pilot Course. This is a fully online, asynchronous, self-paced course that allows motivated students to complete the EPF graduation requirement while creating additional flexibility in their future academic schedules.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

This opportunity is best suited for students who:

Are self-motivated and able to begin and complete assignments without frequent reminders.
Demonstrate strong time-management skills and can meet established course checkpoints.
Are comfortable working independently in an online learning environment.
Communicate appropriately with their assigned instructor and are willing to ask for help when needed.
Have reliable access to their VBCPS-issued Chromebook and Wi-Fi.
Have strong academic goals and would benefit from completing EPF early to create room in their schedule for AP, Dual Enrollment, specialized programs, electives, or other advanced courses.
Are committed to completing high-quality work and preparing for the W!SE Financial Literacy Certification Exam.

Course Format & Expectations

The course will begin on August 31st and an information meeting will be held on that date. Time and location TBD.

Although students work independently and the course is self-paced, there are required unit checkpoints and deadlines throughout the semester. Coursework is completed through Canvas, and grades are synced to Synergy (student information system).
