SIS ParentVUE is an application for families to stay informed of their students' attendance, grades, and updates to school forms. As your child progresses through K-12, ParentVUE will become more helpful to stay engaged in your student's academic experience.
If you have not activated your account please contact Jailene Acevedo, SIA, at (703) 924-4500 to request your activation key. Your username is the email you used when registering your child(ren).
RSVP's are requested to determine space required for the meeting. Please email questions to Marily Grotz, Family Liaison at mgrotz@fcps.edu.
Additional immunizations are required for students entering 7th grade.
- All students entering 7th grade are required to receive one dose of each of the following immunizations prior to the beginning of school: Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis booster (Tdap), Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY), and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
- To meet the Tdap requirement, the vaccination must be administered at age 7 or older.
- To meet the MenACWY requirement, the vaccination must be administered at age 10 or older.
As a parent/guardian, you may decide that your child not receive the HPV vaccination. The school does not require documentation if a parent/guardian elects for their student not to receive the HPV vaccination.
ATTENTION all 4th and 5th grade students who are interested in becoming an SCA officer for the 2025-2026 school year. The campaign process has begun!
4th grade students can run for 2nd Vice President and Historian.
5th grade students can run for President, Vice President, and Secretary.
In order to run, simply create a campaign poster using Google slides and share with Mr. Pitts. Your interested student can find more information on the campaign in the Student All course in Schoology. Click on the 2024-2025 SCA folder. Posters are due by May 6th. Details on the next round will be shared at a later date.
POSTERS ARE DUE next week on Tuesday, May 6!!!
Students in grades 3-12 took the SEL Screener during the month of March, providing information on their SEL skills such as achieving goals, understanding and managing emotions, establishing and maintaining relationships, and making responsible decisions. The screener also asks students how well their school community makes them feel valued, included, and supported.
Individual student SEL Screener results are available to families in the Documents section of SIS ParentVUE. For families who do not have an active ParentVUE account, results will be sent via postal mail.
For support in understanding your individual student’s results or for ideas on how to support them at home, please review the SEL Screener Results Family Guide or reach out to our school staff with any questions.
