First Quarter Academic Recognition
Our students had a great first quarter and we are looking forward to celebrating our students’ success through an Honor Roll (On a Roll) celebration. Sixth grade students will celebrate on November 21st during Raven Time and seventh and eighth grade students will celebrate on November 22nd during Raven Time. This will be a time for them to enjoy a sweet treat and connect with their classmates. We encourage you and your student to check SIS student/parent view and quarter one report cards to verify grades.

Sign Up for Weekly Progress Reports
All parents/guardians of middle and high school students who have registered for a SIS ParentVUE Account and have a primary email address recorded in SIS ParentVUE can receive Weekly Progress Reports via email. This report provides a summary of your student(s) grades for the current quarter.
To activate the Weekly Progress Reports via email, login to your SIS ParentVUE Account and first verify that you have a primary email address within the system. It is listed under the “My Account” tab. If it is blank, enter the email address where you would like to receive the progress reports and click on update account. Once confirmed, parents/guardians are able to activate and select their preferences for receiving these reports within the SIS ParentVUE “My Account” tab.
Weekly progress reports for all of your middle and high school students will be included in one email. FCPS Elementary Schools do not use the SIS grade book and therefore are not included in these reports. For questions about a specific progress report or grade you can login into your SIS ParentVUE Account to find detailed grade book information. Additionally, your student’s teacher is always the best resource to answer any grade book questions that you may have. Weekly Progress Report Parent Quick Reference Guide.
