We are on the lookout for two parents who would be interested in serving on the Superintendent's Family Vision Group. This group kicks off on August 31, 2026 and will meet regularly to discuss hot topics and provide representation to the Louise Archer community. It's a great opportunity to share feedback directly with the superintendent herself. More information can be found on the FCPS website. Please email Principal Noto at eanoto@fcps.edu if you are interested in participating.

Instrumental music is not just about learning how to play the cello or flute. Our performing ensembles also teach students important life skills such as responsibility, teamwork, perseverance, leadership, accountability, honoring commitments, and discipline. Learning and instrument can also help relieve stress, build self-confidence, and be an outlet for creativity and expression! For information about Band and Strings at Louise Archer Elementary School, check out our school's music site. 

Strings - available to 4th, 5th, & 6^th graders

Band - available to 5th & 6th graders

Register by Friday, August 21st! That's tomorrow!

As we roll out the new bus card system for the 2026-27 school year, we will temporarily be unable to accommodate afternoon bus pass requests. This pause will allow us to ensure the new card system is working smoothly before adding temporary bus changes.

 Once the bus card system is fully underway, we will send a community message letting families know we can begin accepting afternoon bus pass requests.

What Families Need to Know About the New Process

Once afternoon bus passes are available, families will need to follow a new request process:

• Email LAESBusPass@fcps.edu at least TWO SCHOOL DAYS in advance of the requested bus change. Please do not send requests to the classroom teacher.
• Copy the receiving parent/guardian on the email.
• The receiving parent/guardian must reply to the email approving the request and confirming that they are expecting your child after school. A simple response of “I approve” is sufficient.
• Louise Archer office staff will process the bus pass and notify Transportation so the temporary rider can be added to the bus roster for that day.
• The student will then be permitted to board the bus.

Then and Now: Comparing the New Process to the Previous Process

We appreciate your patience as we transition to the new bus card system and work to ensure that afternoon transportation changes are handled safely and efficiently.

Many Permission Forms Now Available Online

Families can now easily grant permission for their children to access a variety of school resources through the Parent Digital Consent system. This online tool can be accessed using your SIS ParentVUE account and parents can easily opt in or opt out their child from a variety of resources including online educational tools, school counseling services, tutoring services, and how student information is managed.
