You&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;DO NOT&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;need to set up a&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;new account.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your log-in will be your email, and your password will be welcome26.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to access your Parent Portal account?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://ps.lc-ps.misd.net/public/home.html"&gt;Log in to PowerSchool here&lt;/a&gt;.

On a browser, click through all &lt;strong&gt;4 tabs&lt;/strong&gt; to complete the signatures.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Disregard the red symbols next to &lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;custody&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt; on the Student Contact page. They are a PowerSchool form-integration issue.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The online forms also include the required &lt;strong&gt;Device Agreement,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;as every student will receive a student iPad, that will be assigned to them and will remain at school for their use.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Education Benefits Form&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;One Education Benefits Form (EBF) is required per LCPS family.&lt;/strong&gt; If your family already completed one this year for an LCPS middle school or high school student, you do not need to complete another.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Completing the EBF helps LCPS receive important state and federal funding that supports tutoring, academic support, enrichment and interventions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul type="disc" data-spread="false"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://track.spe.schoolmessenger.com/f/a/AiwiO76slnuavcDSxuUb-Q~~/AAAAARA~/cnkJSvTSNiSTUGs1HnqEsyLOoXaoPmtNuUQst5ljkBjgeJgPLJsf5kRBBbBsGP2dnG7blaVWAEcB3RUgJ778ykYcEGUWKNr2lPlXHyhhzT0vFauztwKnvNpU404aVcf0"&gt;Complete the Education Benefits Form online&lt;/a&gt; &amp;mdash; select &lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;Apply for Benefits&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please complete your online forms.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;We look forward to seeing everyone on Monday, August 31!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
