South County Middle School Community,
I’m excited to introduce myself as the new principal of South County Middle School! My name is Veronica Del Bagno, and I’m looking forward to joining you as we begin the second quarter. I’m grateful for the opportunity to become part of the South County community and to work together in support of our students.
I’m eager to get to know our students, families, staff, and community partners. I’ll work on scheduling a formal meet-and-greet, along with other opportunities for us to connect. In the meantime, please feel free to stop by the school for a quick, informal introduction. I’d be happy to say hello!
I’m very much looking forward to collaborating with everyone. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have a question, an idea to share, or something you’d like me to know. You can reach me at vdelbagno@fcps.edu.
I’m excited to be part of the South County community!
Veronica Del Bagno | Principal | South County Middle School

Canned Food Donations
We are grateful for your support in donating canned food items. We will continue to collect canned food donations through Friday, November 13.
We will have collection boxes placed in front of the building for students to drop off donations before they enter the building.
To ensure we can distribute everything safely and effectively, we kindly ask that you follow these guidelines:
-
Please donate canned food items only (non-perishable canned goods such as soups, canned vegetables, canned fruits, and canned meats).
- Please check the expiration dates on all items prior to sending them in to ensure they are unexpired.
Students can drop off their donations in the collection boxes located at the main entrance. Thank you so much for your generosity and support in making this initiative a success!
SIS ParentVUE Quarterly Outage
SIS ParentVUE will be unavailable for students and parents during end-of-quarter updates through Monday, November 9, at 9 a.m.
Maintain Access to Your Child’s Grades and Assignments: Download the New ParentVUE App
New ParentVUE and StudentVUE mobile apps launched in July. Be sure to download the new app before winter break. After that, you will need to use the new mobile app or a web browser to access ParentVUE or StudentVUE.
For instructions on installing the new apps and learning more about the updated login process, view ParentVUE and StudentVUE mobile app resources. If you need assistance, please submit a Parent Support Request.
Weekly Chromebook Update
Automated weekly reboots will help maintain device health and apply background updates to the Lightspeed Filter agent. The schedule is for Middle schools: Wednesdays at 6:00 p.m.
If a Chromebook is asleep at its scheduled time, the user will receive a notification prompting a reboot within one hour of login or wake. Although scheduled reboots occur outside instructional hours, this notification may appear when students next use their devices.
Impact Aid
The Impact Aid Program is a federal program designed to directly compensate local school districts that have been financially impacted by federal activities. The program’s mission is to reimburse local school districts for local revenues lost due to the presence of federally owned, and therefore tax exempt, property.
FCPS is pleased to announce that the Federal Impact Aid Survey will once again be available electronically through your ParentVUE account. For families that do not have access to ParentVUE or prefer to complete a paper form, a printed form was sent home either Wednesday, November 4th or Thursday, November 5th. Please make sure to return your form as soon as possible.
Morning Drop Off Reminders
- Doors to the school open at 7:10am.
- The Kiss and Ride line is located at the entrance to SCMS closest to the fields.
- Please follow the direction of the staff members that are directing Kiss and Ride Traffic.
- Pull forward as far as possible in the Drop-Off Zone so more cars can fit behind you, and have your student exit the vehicle promptly.
- Stay in the single, continuous Kiss & Ride line. Drivers may not pull out of line after dropping off their student.
- All vehicles must turn right onto Laurel Crest Drive and proceed to the traffic circle. U-turns on Laurel Crest Drive are strictly prohibited.
- Traffic delays in Kiss & Ride do not count as excused tardies. Please build in extra time, especially during bad weather and the start of the school year.
