Parent Action Needed

Good afternoon Mighty Red Families,

Please take a moment to complete the following links virtually.  These are required forms for the school year. Please let us know if you need assistance or have questions regarding the below forms.

Digital Consent Form

Listed below are the digital tools that are used at your child’s school that require parental approval, and not all tools will be used by every student. The tools have been carefully reviewed to ensure that they align with the FCPS Learning Model and FCPS conducts the same technical evaluations for all products that use student information. 

You can find our school’s list of the resources that require parental consent here: https://cardinalforestes.fcps.edu/adopteddigitalresources

To provide your parental consent for each student in your family, please follow this link and follow the provided directions.  Provide consent. 

 

Student Rights and Responsibilities

Parents and guardians, please review the Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R) guide and related resources at www.fcps.edu/srr. After reviewing the information, fill out the SR&R Parent Acknowledgement Form using this link we have provided. The form must be filled out one time per student.

Thank you
