Important Information
Instrument Pick-Up - The Performing Arts Teachers are organizing an Instrument Pick-up for those students whose instruments are still in the building. Parents and students can pick up their instrument at Door 3 on Tuesday, March 31 from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM.
Please complete the form for each student picking up an instrument by Monday, March 30.

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.

Weekly progress reports for 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.
