Throughout April, the Month of the Military Child, Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) student artwork will be featured at Lynnhaven Mall. Now in its 11th year, "The Art of Being a Military Child" showcases students' artistic interpretations of what it means to be a military dependent, including deployments, transitions, patriotism, family and school. It is the culmination of a contest open to all VBCPS students to which more than 700 art entries were submitted.
Shared Housing
If a student/family is found to be in a homeless situation, the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Act allows enrollment without a permanent address. Not all Shared Housing situations are considered homeless. If you feel your situation would qualify under this provision, please complete the shared housing form and submit to the school registrar. If the parent or guardian is living with a legal resident of the city of Virginia Beach but is not the leaseholder/homeowner, a Shared Housing Disclosure Form must be completed annually.
Initial shared housing forms and supporting documentation should be sent to the parents zoned school. Please contact the zoned school for assistance.
