How to Submit Forms

Required Forms

The Emergency Care Information Form and the Health Information Form are available for electronic submission by parents via their FCPS 24/7 (Blackboard) accounts within the weCare@school (weCare) module. For more information, please visit the FCPS weCare@school site. 

Emergency Care Card Form

It is extremely important that we have the name and phone numbers of at least two people in the “Other Contact Information” section of the form. Please be sure to notify the school office of any changes in phone numbers or email addresses that occur during the school year by using weCare@School via your FCPS 24/7 Parent View account. 

Health Information Form (Grades 1 - 6 ONLY) 

  • This form needs to be completed annually to inform us about your student’s health condition that affects his or her school day. Please sign and date prior to returning. This form is available for electronic submission by parents via their FCPS 24/7 (Blackboard) accounts within the weCare@school (weCare) module.

 Students Rights & Responsibilities Acknowledgement Form

Parent/Guardian Consent for Select Digital Resources

  • At Wakefield Forest Elementary School, 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.
  • Please complete this form and indicate whether or not your student is allowed to use the WFES 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. Please reach out to the school if you have questions or concerns about the digital resources we’ve chosen to use this year.

Family Life Education Opt Out Forms

Family Life Education Instructional Program Information Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) provides a comprehensive, sequential Family Life Education (FLE) program for students in grades kindergarten through grade twelve. Instruction is seen as a partnership among parents and guardians, the school, and the community in supporting the learning essential to the development of strong families, positive relationships, and a healthy community.

Parents/guardians may choose to opt their child out of all or part of the Family Life Education program. Students who are opted out are provided with age-appropriate, nonpunitive alternative health instruction, and every effort is made to foster respect for family choices.

Your child will be included in all Family Life Education (FLE) instruction unless you request that he/she be opted out using the opt-out form. You do not need to return the form to the school if you wish for your child to participate in FLE instruction. Parents/guardians wishing to opt their child out of Family Life Education (FLE) instruction may complete and return the opt-out form or scan and email a copy of the completed form, which can be found online for Elementary (K-6) here .

Program questions may be addressed at your child’s school or by contacting Instructional Services at 571-423-4550 or by contacting Carrie Reynolds, Health and Physical Education Coordinator at cfreynolds@fcps.edu.
