Digital Resource Consent

The Digital Resource Consent form list the digital tools that are used at your child's school that require parental/guardian approval, not all tools will be used by every student. The tools have been carefully reviewed to ensure they align with the FCPS Learning Model. FCPS conducts the same technical evaluations for all products that use student information.

SIS Parent Account

ParentVue contains access to weCare—an online tool to keep emergency and health care information current. Before school begins parents should log in to weCare to review and update the emergency care information we have in our system for each of your children.

Parents use their Student Information System (SIS) Parent account to log in to Schoology.

FCPSOn

FCPSOn provides equitable access to meaningful learning experiences and technology that supports student learning needs both at school and at home.
Please review the Student Device Responsible Use Guidelines with your student.
Copies of the Student Device Responsible Use Guidelines will be available in your child's Tuesday folder. The form must be signed by a parent or guardian before devices are distributed.

How to Opt-out of the FCPS Issued Device

FCPS supports family choice, and respects parents who wish to have their student use a personal, or BYOD, device for learning instead of an FCPS student device. Parents should simply follow the instructions on the BYOD Guidelines page to ensure their BYOD device meets FCPS parameters and follows FCPS processes.

Screen Activity Report

Parents/guardians can submit a request for a weekly email report with a summary of their child's FCPS device internet activity. Before submitting a request parents/guardians will need the enrolling parent email address on-file in our Student Information System (SIS), as well as the Student ID for their child.
