The public is invited to several community budget listening sessions as FCPS Superintendent Dr. Cheryl L. Dyson gathers feedback prior to releasing her Recommended Fiscal Year 2026 operating budget in January.

Feedback from all stakeholders is welcome. In September and October, Dr. Dyson offered staff engagement opportunities.

“Listening to the community is an important step in our budgetary process,” Dr. Dyson said. “We wanted to provide multiple opportunities to ensure as many voices could be heard as possible. I look forward to hearing about the community’s priorities.”

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.

In honor of Darlah Adams, the PTA has made a $1,000 donation to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. Darlah was a cherished and respected member of the FCPS community, particularly at Myersville Elementary, where her kindness, dedication, and unwavering support touched the lives of so many. Known for her remarkable courage and strength, Darlah’s legacy of compassion continues to inspire all who knew her. While she is deeply missed, this donation serves as a tribute to her enduring spirit and the difference she made in the lives of others.

Do you have gifts to purchase for this holiday season and not sure what to buy? Let us help! A gift card to Texas Roadhouse is the perfect gift!

10% of every Gift Card purchase will be donated to the Myersville Elementary PTA, which will help us continue to support our school!

You will receive your Texas Roadhouse E-Gift Cards in the email you provide 3-5 days after the closing date of the fundraiser.

Also, mark your calendars for December 12, which will be our "dine to donate" night at Texas Roadhouse in Frederick. We will post the flyer prior to that date to present when you dine in or carry out that evening.

Thank you for your support!

We are less than a month away from the MYES Holiday Gift Shop, taking place on Thursday, December 12 and Friday, December 13, and the PTA is actively recruiting parent volunteers to staff the shopping shifts. Click here if you are interested in signing up for a shift, and feel free to reference the student shopping schedule here if you’d like to volunteer when your child is shopping.

The PTA is also collecting scholarship funds to ensure all students have an opportunity to participate. If you are able, please consider making a donation so that school-identified students can shop alongside their friends. Contributions will be accepted via PayPal link here or via check (made out to MYES PTA and sent to the school address to the attention of Myersville PTA - Holiday Gift Shop).

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.

All labeled items will continue to be delivered to classrooms. Please remind your child to check Lost and Found regularly and please label all clothing! After school Friday (12/20), all UNLABELED items will be collected for donation.

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.
