Back to School Forms for 2020-2021

BACK TO SCHOOL FORMS

 

Dear SCMS families,

We are still trying to find the right balance between making sure our families have the information they need from us but also trying not to overwhelm you with emails. We will continue to try to cut back on the number of eNotify and News You Choose messages we send but will still need to share information required by FCPS

 

Thank you to the families who have already submitted Emergency Care and Health forms to us. We apologize that all forms were not ready before school started, but we believe this is now a complete list. This information can also be found on our website

As we prepare to (virtually) open schools this fall, we ask that all parents and/or guardians update the annual mandatory school forms. Updates to the following forms are all necessary for your students to begin school every year. Please note, all links should be accessed in Google Chrome.

Health Form

FCPS requires a copy of this form for each student every school year. 

 

 

 

EMERGENCY CARE FORM:

This form provides us with the most up to date information concerning contact information and address information for your student. Required by FCPS. If you are unable to access the form through WeCare you may print a copy ( https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/forms/se3.pdf ) and mail/fax/email a copy to SCMS.

 

COMPUTER OPT OUT FORM:

We strongly encourage your student to check out a laptop from FCPS which is preloaded with software specific to FCPS student learning.

 

PARENT DIGITAL TOOL PERMISSION APPLICATION:

At SCMS, our teachers will use a variety of digital resources to support student learning and promote communication and collaboration with students and families. Some of the digital resources your child may use this year will require your consent before they can be used. You can find our school’s list of the resources that require parental consent here: https://southcountyms/fcps.edu/adopteddigitalresources

Included on this page is also a link to a form where the enrolling parent or guardian will need to indicate whether or not their student is allowed to use the list of digital resources this year. This page also provides more information about how FCPS carefully reviews digital resources for approval and why we must request your consent before using certain tools. We encourage you to complete the parental consent for digital resources form as soon as possible, as your child will not be able to use the digital resources until we have received your permission.

 

SR&R ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FORM: Parents and guardians, please review the Student Rights and Responsibilities and related resources at www.fcps.edu/srr. After reviewing the information, fill out the SR&R Parent Acknowledgement Form using the link in the forms box above.  

One form should be filled out for each student.

 

AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM PERMISSION FORM:

Any student who wishes to participate in the South County Middle School After School Program must have a registration form on file. The registration form allows participation in ASP events the entire year. This year’s program will be all virtual. The program begins Monday September 21st. More information will be shared during Learning Seminar/3rd period on September 15th. The MSASP is completely voluntary but students are encouraged to attend. If you have any questions, please contact Chris Woodby at cwwoodby@fcps.edu.
