3rd Quarter Report Cards
On Monday, we will distribute 3rd quarter report cards to students and we hope it serves as a good conversation starter at home about how the school year is going as we enter the last nine weeks of school. We hope your student has experienced many successes through the first 27 weeks of school and hope they can build on that momentum – not only for the 4th quarter, but also as they prepare for next year. If you and your student see areas where improvement is needed, consider having them stay after school to work with a teacher, use their agenda to write down important assignments and dates, and create a home/school calendar to better manage their time.
Grades are available through ParentVUE (there are temporary blackouts around grading periods), so please take advantage of this tool to help monitor how your child is doing in school. Here are some ways to make sure you are connected:
The Student Information System (SIS) Parent Account Access allows parents access to teacher grade books, attendance information, course history and other useful information.
- New Users: Please use the parent account registration page to register your account. You will need an activation key to log in for the first time. o Please contact the school if you need a new activation key or are having issues logging onto your ParentVUE Account. Please include your name, email address, student's name, students ID number and a short description of what the issue is.
- Returning Users: Please go to https://sisparent.fcps.edu to log in to your ParentVUE Account.
- Trouble logging in? If you are unable to log into ParentVUE, contact the school to verify that your correct email has been added into SIS:
If you have never logged into ParentVUE:
- Call the school to add your email into SIS – it takes at least 24 hours to update in SIS.
- Once added into SIS, the school can send out an activation key to the email you have provided. This activation key will include your username, password, and directions for how to log in.
If you forgot your username: Contact the school to verify what your username is.

At the end of the school year all students will be responsible for returning their laptop and charger. When students lose an FCPS provided laptop or charger they are responsible for replacing them.
Replacement fee for lost computer equipment:
- Dell 3310 Laptop Computer ($481.00)
- Dell 3310 Charger ($23)
Replacement fees can be paid either through:
- MySchoolBucks - https://www.myschoolbucks.com/
- Check - Bring in a check to Twain’s Main Office made payable to “Twain Middle School”. Write the Student ID# on the Memo line.
Once a student pays the replacement fee, we will provide them a new charger or laptop. Please do not purchase a replacement charger through outside stores or vendors.
We will not be providing replacement cases when students lose their case. You can purchase affordable cases through different retail stores.
