Emergency Care Forms
New Families - We are working through entering Emergency Care Information, we have the forms that you completed at registration but parents can help by updating through their SIS ParentVUE account here: https://sisparent.fcps.edu/PVUE/PXP2_Login_Parent_OVR.aspx?regenerateSessionId=True New families should have received their ParentVUE activation letter by post end of last week but if you did not receive one, please contact the office on 703-913-6800 or email laakofiohite@fcps.edu
For returning families, you can also view/update/change Emergency Care contacts to make sure that we have updated contact information for your student(s).

Health Information Form: All students must have an updated health form with the school health room. New families have submitted theirs with their registration but returning students should complete here
Please print the Health Information Form below and send a completed form to school with your student(s) tomorrow - if you’ve already submitted the form this school year, no action is required. We will send paper forms home in next week’s Tuesday folders if you prefer to wait.

We Need Your Consent for Select Digital Resources
At Orange Hunt 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. You can find our school’s list of the resources that require parental consent here: https://orangehuntes.fcps.edu/adopteddigitalresources. Additionally, you can find more information about approved digital resources in FCPS here: https://www.fcps.edu/resources/technology/digital-resources.
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. Please reach out to your child’s teacher if you have questions or concerns about the digital resources we’ve chosen to use this year.
Schoology
The School Based Technology Specialists of the West Springfield Pyramid have made this video to help parents with the basics of our new Learning Management System Schoology. Making sure you have an active parent account will help you in supporting your child’s learning as well as get communication from your child’s teacher and the school.
