Many staff members, including Ms. Consolla seen above, were grateful to get their first dose of the COVID vaccine this week. We're all feeling a little more hopeful that we're getting closer to welcoming students back into the building and seeing an end to this pandemic.

"Go Paperless" Report Card Option
Parents now have the option to “Go Paperless” in ParentVUE and receive only online report cards. To take advantage of the paperless options, parents/guardians will need to log into ParentVUE, then go to “My Account” and select "Go Paperless!". This process is the only way to keep a paper report card from being generated for students. All parents who share the same address as the student must have a SIS ParentVUE account and must select the paperless option. Activating a ParentVUE account allows for instant access to: Progress Reports, Attendance records, Immunization records. To create a SIS ParentVUE account, contact Ms. Berrios at Mount Eagle through email: yberrios@fcps.edu
