Parents, We Need Your Consent!

Many of the amazing digital tools your student's may be accessing this year require your consent! Even if you filled out the paper form included at laptop distribution, this digital version includes an updated list of tools, will be centrally managed within FCPS, and will allow your consent to be registered in SIS. It also allows you more flexibility to modify your consent in the future. Please help us out by completing this as soon as possible! Without your consent, your student cannot access these tools.
