FES VISION
Updates from the Nurse
* The end of the school year is quickly approaching! Please remember to pick up your child’s medication in the health office prior to the end of the school year unless your child is attending the summer program. The school is not able to allow your child to bring the medication home. Medication not picked up will be disposed of.
* If your child has medication prescribed to them to be administered at school, daily or as needed, a new medication form is required for next school year.
*Have a happy and healthy summer!
Attention 5th grade families.
When transitioning to a new school, you are required to submit a current, valid proof of your residency in Caroline County. This is in support of Caroline County Public School enrollment procedures and Maryland Law. No student will receive a schedule not begin the school year at the new school until proof of residency is received and approved. THANK YOU TO ALL FAMILIES THAT PROVIDED PROOF OF RESIDENCY!

Reporting Incidents of Bullying
CCPS is committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and respectful educational environment where the worth and dignity of individuals are valued and their safety and rights are protected. In an effort to reinforce the processes we have in place through CCPS policy and regulation, we are reminding students and families of the procedures for reporting incidents of bullying.
We strongly believe that we all must work together – students, staff, families, and the community – to act as ‘upstanders’ rather than bystanders, and be the person who intervenes on behalf of a person being bullied. The school and district cannot act on incidents of bullying if we are unaware or not fully informed of the facts from everyone involved.
Students who believe that they have been subject to bullying, harassment, or intimidation or who have knowledge of employees or students who may be engaging in these acts should immediately report the problem to a teacher, counselor, or school administrator.
We also encourage all cases of bullying and harassment be reported by using the forms below. However, if a student or family member is unable to complete the form for any reason, help is available through the school office or the district Student Services office (410-479-3253). After the form is submitted, the school administration and Student Services division is notified so the investigation may be completed. All investigations must be conducted by school administration in a timely manner.
