Key MS Families

Blue Star Welcome Week Event

During Blue Star Welcome Week, Key MS celebrated our military connected families. The families and students were invited to come together to learn more about each other and connect with other military families. It was a wonderful and well attended event.

Cat B "Cooks" in the FACS Kitchen

Key MS’ wonderful Family and Consumer Science teacher, Mrs. Jabour, created an opportunity for our Cat B students to receive some “real world” training. The students were using the kitchen and learning about cooking and safety in an engaging hands-on lesson. The students and their families were excited for this opportunity to show what they could “cook” up in the kitchen.

Start Times Survey

• ⏰ K-12 School Start Times SurveyFCPS is continuing to explore options for adjusting school start times, with the primary goal of beginning the middle school day at 8 a.m. or later. In order to minimize any cost for this project, elementary and high school start times would need to shift as well.

Providing feedback opportunities for the community is a critical part of this effort. Since 2024, FCPS’ consultant has hosted five community forums and administered two surveys. A new School Start TImes Survey is open through Tuesday, September 30. It includes two options that are designed to support student well-being, align with research, balance transportation logistics, and minimize costs. Staff, parents and caregivers, students, and community members may provide input on the two options by taking the survey. Find more information about adjusting school start times. 

SR&R (Students Rights and Responsibilities)

FCPS’ Student Rights and Responsibilities document (SR&R) explains expectations for student behavior and adult responses to enhance school safety and to create a fair, equitable, and supportive school environment. 

Parents/caregivers should talk to their child(ren) about expectations for this school year. Also, please log in to SIS ParentVUE and sign to acknowledge your review of the SR&R, or sign and return the signature sheet to your child’s school by Tuesday, September 30.
