Eighth Grade Field Trip to Kings Dominion
Attention 8th grade parents! The Kings Dominion field trip will be happening on Tuesday, June 11th. Students received a packet with information about the field trip and two-sided permission slip today in advisory. If your child wants to attend the field trip, both sides of the permission slip need to be signed and returned to their advisory teacher by Wednesday, May 29th, and payment should be submitted through MySchoolBucks. Additional copies of the permission slip are posted in Schoology > Cooper Corner.
If any parents/ caregivers are interested in chaperoning the trip, please email Courtney Kaden at cdkaden@fcps.edu.
 Agents of Change - 7th-Grade Final Presentations
We are excited to invite you to a special event showcasing the creativity and hard work of our 7th-graders. Please join us for the Agents of Change Final Presentations!
June 10th from 12:50 PM to 2:15 PM
As part of an innovative cross-curricular project linking English and History, our students were tasked with a compelling challenge: "How can you, as a budding comic book writer for Marvel/DC Comics, design a hero who promotes positive change in our modern-day world?"
Throughout this project, our students have delved into the historical impacts of key figures from the Civil Rights Movement and imagined how these influences could shape a superhero who exemplifies positive change.

High School Credit Courses
High school credit-bearing courses will be reflected on the middle and high school transcripts. In accordance with Virginia state regulations, FCPS Regulation 2408 permits parents of students who take a high school credit-bearing course in middle school to request that the grade be omitted from the student's high school transcript and the student not earn high school credit for the course. Parents must make this request no later than the end of the first nine weeks of the school year following completion of the course. The request to expunge as well as guidelines and the procedures for expunging grades for high school courses taken in middle school can be found at the following link: https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/forms/is104.pdf
Contact your student’s counselor with any questions.
