Student Rights and Responsibilities Acknowledgement Due Friday, September 29
FCPS’ updated Student Rights and Responsibility (SR&R) booklet is available online and in SIS ParentVUE. The SR&R booklet explains expectations for student behavior, and adult responses to enhance school safety and to create a fair, equitable, and supportive school environment.
Each year, we ask parents/caregivers to review and sign the SR&R. The SR&R will be visible upon logging in to SIS ParentVUE until the SR&R acknowledgment has been completed.
Signatures are due by Friday, September 29. Contact your school’s front office if you are having difficulty accessing the booklet. Visit the SIS ParentVUE Account Overview webpage for help logging in to your account.
Please join Oak Hill principal, Mrs. Kelly Durso and Assistant Principal, Mrs. Cali Loewenberg, for coffee on October 2nd, at 10:00 am. All parents and caregivers are welcome. Mrs. Lahr, our Advanced Academics Resource Teacher, will be conducting a presentation on the Advanced Academics Programs offered in FCPS and the different levels of AAP services. Please RSVP by Friday, September 29th at 3:00.
Another presentation will be conducted later this fall to discuss the full-time AAP screening process. The meetings will be held in person.
