Are you Ready?

Check the Back-to-School Information Hub for everything you need to know to start the school year, including bus route information, building times, traffic maps, school supply lists and more!

Celebrate the start of the year with us by sending your First Day of School pictures to communications@lmsdoh.org or tagging us online! We can’t wait to see you!

It is time to complete your child’s annual update of the Secure Online Portal. If you enrolled a new student to Little Miami for the upcoming school year (2025-2026), you DO NOT need to update the Portal, as your essential information was submitted at Registration.

What You Can Do Now:

1. Log in and verify your child’s information within the Portal.

2. Contact your child’s building secretary with necessary updates for contact information changes, emergency contacts, living with student status, authorized to pick up status, etc.

Your child’s information in the Secure Online Portal must be updated at the start of every year. Families must update critical student information, including emergency medical and contact information, acknowledgment of the district policies and handbooks, and the computer/internet acceptable use policy. If you have trouble viewing any documents, you can also view them on the school’s website here: https://www.littlemiamischools.com/page/annual-notices

Be sure your current contact information is updated in the Secure Online Portal. You do not need to “sign up” for alerts. You should receive alerts if your contact information is updated in your student’s profile. 

Today, teachers got a very special welcome from a our cheerleaders and youth cheer members, LMHS JROTC Color Guard. Plus a member of each grade, K-12 helped lead the Pledge of Allegiance on stage.
