Review and Sign the Student Rights & Responsibilities Booklet Online
FCPS’ updated Student Rights & Responsibility booklet is available online and in the ParentVue section of the Student Information System (SIS). The SR&R booklet explains expectations for student behavior, and adult responses to enhance school safety and create a fair, equitable, and supportive school environment.
Each year, we ask parents to review and sign the SR&R. In ParentVue, you may now download and digitally sign the SR&R. Every parent/caregiver with a ParentVUE account will see the SR&R upon login to ParentVUE until the SR&R acknowledgment has been completed.
Your name in the digital signature box must match the parent/caregiver’s first and last name in SIS exactly before the signature will be accepted.
Please take a moment to log into ParentVue in your child’s SIS account to access the SR&R. Digital signatures are due by September 30. Visit the SIS Parentvue Account Overview page for help logging in to your account. Please contact us at aknair@fcps.edu, if you are having difficulty accessing the booklet.
