To promote safety on school property, particularly during arrival and dismissal when cars, school buses, pedestrians, bicycles, and other traffic converge, FCPS Regulation 8610 has been updated to address motorized and electric-powered devices on school property.
Motorized and electric-powered devices — electric bicycles (e-bikes), electric scooters (e-scooters), hoverboards, motorized skateboards, mopeds, Segways, and similar devices — may not be operated on school property.Individuals traveling to and from school on either traditional or electric bikes, scooters, etc. should dismount them when reaching the school property line before walking them and parking them in their designated area. When leaving school, they should be walked to the school property line before being used and not ridden until they are off school property.
This regulation does not apply to wheelchairs or other mobility devices which are being used as mobility aids or as disability-related accommodations. Read more details in section 10c of FCPS Regulation 8610.
FCPS is continuing to explore options for adjusting school start times, with the goal of implementing healthy school start times that are budget neutral, where possible, and minimize impacts on staff. Your feedback remains an important part of this conversation.
At a School Board work session on November 10, staff presented recommendations for K-12 school start times. They also shared that a survey is being sent to families and staff on Tuesday, November 17.
The survey will close on Tuesday, December 1. The School Board plans to review the results in December and take action later that month. Learn more about the K-12 School Start Times project.
All FCPS schools use a framework called Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) to ensure every student gets the help they need to learn.
Through MTSS, school teams provide high-quality instruction for all students, along with additional time, support, and interventions based on individual needs. Families are important partners in this process, and they will receive information about their child’s learning, needs, and progress.
Families can view their child’s intervention plans and progress in SIS ParentVUE. Progress updates are available quarterly, in alignment with report card due dates.
See directions for logging in to your SIS ParentVUE account to access MTSS information. Learn more about MTSS in FCPS.
In partnership with the SCA, we are excited to share exciting news about the return of Blizzard’s Market! We had such great feedback from our students last year and we’re thrilled to keep it going. Blizzard’s Market is a school store with small, low-cost items for sale. Items will range from 25 cents to $2. Only quarters and dollar bills will be accepted. The last market of the year will take place on the following date from 8:35-8:50 am in the front lobby.
Friday, December 11th (4-6)
PTA Open Positions
The PTA is in need of parents interested in taking on leadership positions. All board positions are up for re-election in 2027. Without an active board, the PTA will be put on hold until one is secured. In order to have a PTA we need a President, Treasurer, and Secretary. To learn more about what each role entails, join our next PTA meeting on February 17 at 6:00 pm.
