The perks!

School Counseling Updates
The 2026-2027 FAFSA is Now Available
The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is the most important step to getting financial aid for college and career training. This online form is used by post-secondary institutions and state agencies, like VSAC, to determine the types and amounts of financial aid to eligible students.
Vermont residents should also complete the Vermont Grant application. Eligible students have received from $1,000 to $15,350 in Vermont grants for the 2025–2026 academic year. To determine your eligibility, complete the 2026-27 FAFSA and Vermont Grant application.
Do you need help completing your applications for the 2026-27 school year? From early October to early February, VSAC is offering 1:1 virtual and in-person appointments in Winooski. Sign up today.

Excusing an Absence
We have made a small change to how parents can notify the school regarding student absences and attendance. Going forward...if you choose to email the school in order to excuse an absence, please use the following shs.attendance@lamoillesouth.org. You can always call the attendance line as well if you like at (802) 253-7229 and choose option 1.
Powerschool App Reminder
The PowerSchool mobile app is a great way to stay informed about your student's grades and attendance. If you are not currently using it, please see the simple directions below to access important student information.
- Open the relevant app store on your device, search for "PowerSchool," and then download the free "PowerSchool App." Use the code LNMT to link to the LSSU database, and enter the login credentials you were provided with by the district. Navigate between different views from a menu on the bottom of the screen. If you have more than one child, switch between their information by clicking on another name in the top right corner.
