Parental Consent for Digital Tools: Recommended for Each Student

Digital Resources at Willow Springs Elementary - Parent Consent

Explanation of Form: As part of our commitment to protect student data, FCPS is required to secure parental permission for student use of software/applications for which FCPS does not have a confidentiality agreement. For ease of access, an online process has been developed to collect this information digitally and provide school-based reporting.

You can find more information about FCPS’ commitment to student privacy at Digital Privacy in FCPS and a list of all approved digital tools is viewable online in the FCPS Digital Ecosystem Library which has links to the vendors’ privacy notices and other useful information.

This permission will expire at the end of this school year and can be revoked at any time by contacting the school.  If you have questions about any of the digital resources listed below, please contact your child’s school.

To provide your parental consent for each student in your family, please follow this link and follow the provided directions.  Provide consent

    SR&R Signature Sheet: Required for Each Student

    The SR&R handbook is located online in SIS. Parents and guardians are responsible for acknowledging they have received and reviewed the SR&R and should be prompted to do so when they log into their SIS Parent Account. Students will be reviewing the SR&R during the month of September.

    Starting in the 2021-22 school year parents/guardians will digitally sign the SR&R in SIS: ParentVUE. Every parent/guardian with a ParentVUE account, regardless of relationship to the student, will see the SR&R upon login to PVUE until the SR&R acknowledgment has been completed.  If a parent chooses, he/she/they may “skip” the SR&R acknowledgment by clicking on “Remind me later!”. The next time the parent/guardian logs in the SR&R acknowledgment will appear again.

    The parent/guardian will NOT be required to click on the pdf document link to download/view the SR&R packet before the parent/guardian will be able to digitally sign and acknowledge the SR&R. The name in the digital signature box must match the parent first and last name in SIS exactly before the signature will be accepted.  Confirm the exact match with the "Welcome Message" in the top right of the screen where the parent's name is printed on the screen. 

    CLICK on SEND FORM, changes will be updated electronically in our Student Information System (SIS). You do not need to return the paper copy.

    Use of SIS: ParentVUE to submit the SR&R signature sheet is preferred.  If you need assistance accessing the SR&R Resources or the Signature Sheet please contact the school for guidance.

    Family Life Education Opt-Out Forms

    WSES provides a comprehensive, sequential Family Life Education (FLE) program for students in grades K-6. Instruction is seen as a partnership among parents and guardians, the school, and the community in supporting the learning essential to the development of strong families, positive relationships, and a healthy community.

    Parents/guardians may choose to opt their child out of all or part of the Family Life Education program. Students who are opted-out are provided with age-appropriate, nonpunitive alternative health instruction, and every effort is made to foster respect for family choices. If you wish to opt your child out of all or part of FLE for this school year, opt-out forms are available online.
