New Students & Families
Welcome to Pelican Nation! We are so excited you’ve chosen Loomis, and we can’t wait to welcome you to the Island this fall.
As the newest members of the Loomis Chaffee community we know you may have a lot of questions about what’s next. Please utilize the Next Steps Checklist below and the resources on this page to complete your enrollment process and prepare for a smooth arrival this fall. We’ll keep you informed and connected throughout the spring and summer, here on this page and by email.
Portal Information
Occasionally, parents and students will be asked to provide login credentials to access password-protected areas of our website and school services. Parents, please use the login credentials you used to access the enrollment contract unless otherwise instructed. Students will receive access to the Student Portal and Veracross Portal in mid- to late-August. At that time, students should use the login credentials that were emailed to your parents when they submitted your enrollment contract.
