New Attendance Reporting Feature Launching in ParentVUE for 2024-25 School Year
FCPS is excited to announce an important update beginning with the start of the 2024-25 school year. Parents and caregivers will have the option to submit their student’s attendance directly through ParentVUE starting the first day of school, August 19, 2024. This new feature aims to streamline the attendance reporting process and enhance communication between parents and schools. This change will make it more convenient for parents and schools to manage students' attendance while ensuring the highest level of security.
ParentVUE offers a more secure and reliable platform for managing students' attendance information. ParentVUE will replace the current Attendance Forms, which will be discontinued at the end of the 2023-24 school year.
ParentVUE access and assistance will be provided during Back-to-School events.

Away for the Day Update
Students will be required to store all electronics in their locker during the school day from 7:30am - 2:15pm.
Students will not be allowed to have electronic devices with them during the school day.
Devices will be confiscated and held for parent pick-up for students who do not comply with the Away for the Day procedure. Unclaimed devices will be returned to students on the last day of each week during dismissal at 2:15pm.

Lost and Found - Last Call
This is the last call for students to claim their items in the lost and found. Their are coats, sweatshirts, shoes, water bottles, etc. If your student is missing any items, please stop by the school by 3:00pm between Tuesday, July 16 and Friday, July 19 to check the lost and found.
All items will be donated or discarded on Monday, July 22.
Thanks,
Key MS Administration
Expunging High School Credits
High school credit courses taken in grades 7 and 8 become part of the student’s high school transcript and are included in the calculation of the high school Grade Point Average (GPA). VA State and FCPS regulations permit parents/guardians to make a request to have that course expunged from the student’s record.
Please contact your child's school counselor if you have any questions or to submit the completed Request to Expunge High School Courses Taken in Middle School Form.
Class Schedules for the 2024-2025 School Year
In preparation for next school year, we would like to set your student up for success! In the spring, students made their course requests for the 2024-2025 school year. You are able to view your child’s current course selections in ParentVUE/SIS. As a reminder, students may be identified for support classes which would take priority over elective choices. 2024-2025 class schedules are available in ParentVUE/SIS and at our Open House the week before school starts.
If you have any questions or wish to discuss course selections, please contact your child’s school counselor after August 12.
