MYES teachers distributed the IReady Diagnostic results during parent teacher conferences. We also wanted to provide instructions if you'd like to digitally access in the platform as well.

How can I access my student’s results?

1. ­­­Log in to your student’s i-Ready Dashboard using their district or school’s portal credentials and then click on the i-Ready icon.

2. Click on the For Fami­lies dropdown and select the For Families report.

3. Enter your District’s Report Code Y3C2YZ.

NOTE for students with an IEP: The i-Ready Reading Assessment is used to identify students who may need additional support for reading difficulties. It is also used to monitor the efficacy of students’ current reading support pathways and as a data point for qualifying students for accommodations. For this purpose, it is imperative that no human reader, text to speech, or screen reader accommodations are utilized for the diagnostic assessment.

For more information and support, visit the i-Ready Family Center: Understanding Diagnostic Results. Thank you again for your continued partnership and support of your student’s learning.

Hearing and Vision Screenings will take place on Wednesday, October 16th for all students in kindergarten (if not screened in pre-kindergarten), 1st grade, and new enterers to the Maryland public school system.

Maryland State Law mandates this screening. Parents/guardians who have an objection to this screening based on their church or religion practices must submit a request for their child to be exempt from screening. All written requests must be submitted to the health room asap. Please make sure if your child wears glasses or contacts that they have them on the screening days. If you have any questions, please contact the health room at 227-203-4809.

Our Fall Festival will be held on Friday, October 25th. Students can come to school dressed as book characters in costume for the day. (All costumes should be school appropriate- no scary masks or look alike weapons.)

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.

October 25 from 5-7 pm

FREE event for Myersville students and their families hosted by the PTA. No advance tickets required.

Students can come dressed in their Halloween costumes, collect candy from each trunk and then dance the night away! Please bring your own bag to collect treats and visit each trunk once.

Parents, please consider donating candy or non-candy items to the school for this event before October 18th. Send items to school with your child or drop off at the main office.

A maximum of 25 trunks can fit in the parking lot. Sign up quickly if interested as they fill up fast!

Food Trucks will be on site for food purchase.

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.
