Safety Patrol Information
The Deer Park Patrol Guide
Welcome to the 2024-25 School Year! We are excited for the opportunities and adventures that await us this year for our awesome Sixth Grade Patrols. We have some important beginning-of-the-year information for you and your students as we look to get started next week.
Patrol Belt Pickup
Students should come by the Dominion Theatre (Mr. Wallace’s classroom) to pick up their belts first thing Monday morning. This can be as they enter the building, or on their way to Specials. If your student is in Mrs. Mott’s homeroom, they should pick up their belts during music class on Monday morning(8/19).
First Patrol Meeting
Our first Patrol meeting will be Tuesday, 8/20, at 2:50.
If you have any Patrol-related questions, we may be reached at mdwallace@fcps.edu and ksfuchs@fcps.edu.
Thank you!
-Mr. Wallace and Ms. Fuchs

Emergency Care Card Forms are important in helping us contact you in case of an emergency. Parents can help by assuring that the school has the most up-to-date information. Your child's pre-printed emergency care form is in the first take home folder which you received today or will receive on Monday. Please verify the information is correct, sign and return the form to your child's teacher.
Parents can also access the information by using the ParentVue/Online Verification Update system. To read more about the OVU, please visit the OVU page on the FCPS website.
