We will be sharing information about what 6th grade might look like for your student, explain the registration process and answer any questions you may have.

*Students are welcome but this presentation is geared towards parents.*

Out-of-district enrollment applications for the 2025-2026 school year will be accepted by the Office of Student Services from February 1 to March 1, 2025.

Students may be considered for enrollment outside their designated attendance area. Parents or guardians who wish to request an out-of-district enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year must apply by completing the application. All students who are currently enrolled outside of their designated attendance area MUST reapply because approval is granted on a year-to-year basis.

Out-of-district enrollment requests are reviewed by the pupil personnel worker in consultation with the school principal. Please review the factors considered for approval prior to submitting your application. All information is outlined in FCPS Regulation 400-15. The FCPS list of closed schools for the 2025-2026 school year can be found here.

If you have questions, you may contact the Pupil Personnel Worker (PPW) assigned to your child’s school. For assistance completing the form, please call 240-586-8817.

Families will be notified of the decision by April 1, 2024.

Our fundraiser to support the Physical Education Department at Myersville Elementary School has officially started! This year, we are excited to shift our focus from traditional jump roping to a broader theme of movement. Our aim is to promote all types of movement activities that contribute to the health and fitness of our students.

Over the past years, your generous contributions have allowed us to purchase a variety of physical activity equipment. This year, a portion of the proceeds will also be donated to a local charity. We’re excited to make a positive impact both in our school and in our community!

Get Involved!
Students who would like to participate in collecting online donations can create their own personalized "participants page" by following this link: Create Your Participant Page. After setting up their page, students can share it with friends and family via email, text, Facebook, and Twitter!

Additionally, fundraiser envelopes will be sent home next week in your child’s take-home folder. You can contribute by placing cash or check donations in these envelopes, or you can choose to donate online.

Thank you for your support in encouraging active lifestyles for our students! Together, we can make a difference!

This year, FCPS has enhanced the volunteer process to prioritize the safety and security of our students, staff and community. As a result, we have added additional training to be completed by all volunteers across the county. These trainings will ensure our volunteers are equipped with the necessary information they need to partner with our schools.

Effective Monday, July 15, 2024, family and community members interested in volunteering should begin the volunteer process by visiting our new FCPS Volunteer Webpage. Applicants will be directed to:

1. Register for a guest account on Unified Talent (instructions available online)

2. Complete and pass two training modules on Unified Talent.

3. Complete the registration application in the Volunteer Center.

4. Await school approval on application.

5. Sign-up for volunteer opportunities facilitated by individual schools..

The volunteer training and registration process is completed annually for each school year. Volunteers must complete the process before being signing up for volunteer opportunities. FCPS encourages family and community members interested in volunteering to complete the process early as processing times have increased.

For technical support in Unified Talent, volunteer applicants may contact unifiedtalent@fcps.org. For all other volunteer related questions, volunteer applicants may contact: FCPSVolunteers@fcps.org. FCPS is grateful for the generous support from our family and community volunteers.

We are asking parents not to stop or park in the bus rider loop. Please find a parking spot if you plan to walk your child to the arrival or dismissal door. With everyone’s cooperation, we can make our parking lot area and transportation practices safer for all of our students and more efficient for our parents.

Maryland Law requires that a written excuse be provided each time that your child is absent. The excuse should include the date of the absence, your child’s first and last name, and the reason for the absence. Please either send in a handwritten note or you can email MYES.Attendance@fcps.org.

Absences considered lawful and therefore excused, as described in the Public School Laws and Code of Bylaws of the Maryland State Board of Education, are:

• Illness of the student

• Death in the immediate family

• Court summons

• Hazardous weather condition

• Work or activity accepted by the school authorities

• Observance of religious holiday up to 3 days

• State emergency

• Suspension

• Lack of authorized transportation

• Health exclusion

• Other emergency (judgment of Superintendent or designee)

• Students who take trips with parent/guardian approval may be excused a maximum of five days per school year.

FCPS attendance policies will be fully implemented and parent notification will be sent for any student who is on track to becoming or is already deemed chronically absent or tardy. Notification will begin at 5 days and when a student accumulates 10 or more absences within the school year. Chronic absenteeism is defined as missing 10 percent or more of school days due to absence for any reason- both lawful and unlawful. This amounts to 18 absences total in a single school year.

Myersville Elementary is a place where students and staff are engaged learners. They feel safe to take risks and all contributions are valued. Here we have fun while we learn in our school community.
