Back to school in Chesterfield
Everything the county and the school division actually require before the first day, in one place: supply lists, registration, immunizations, buses and meals.
Supply lists
The school division posts supply lists in one shared folder. Most of them have not been updated for the coming year yet, so this table shows the school year each list actually says, rather than assuming it is current.

We read the division’s shared folder by hand and record the year printed on each file. A list marked with an older year may still be reused, but check with the school before you shop. Source: the CCPS supply list folder.

Full CCPS calendar →Registering a new student
New to the county, or starting kindergarten? Registration is online, and you will need proof of address, a birth certificate and immunization records.

Virginia requires specific shots before school, and rising 7th and 12th graders each need an additional dose. This is the requirement most families get caught out by in August.
Virginia requirements → · CCPS health services →Buses and getting there
Bus assignments and stop times are posted before the year starts, and routes can change from last year even if you have not moved.
