At Laurel Hill, communication is a two-way street

Laurel Hill utilizes several different methods of communication to help keep parents and guardians informed about what's happening at school and how their children are performing in the classroom.

Please Keep Us in the Loop!

Our most basic method of communication is the telephone. We may need to reach you during the school day, so it's important that we have your current numbers on file. Your contact information is as important as ours.

General School Communication

Each week, the school sends home Wednesday Folders. This folder contains graded student work, teacher notes, school announcements, PTA fliers, and other valuable information. It is important to check your child’s folder each week, sign it, and return it to school for use the following week.

Website

Our school website – https://laurelhilles.fcps.edu - is our major method of public communication. It is updated regularly with school information and announcements and contains links to helpful information from other FCPS and county organizations. Please check the site on a regular basis.

Communication with Teachers

All of our teachers develop their own classroom communication plans, which may include notes, newsletters, e-mails, or contact through room parents.

Parent-Teacher Conferences

The school year is divided into four nine-week grading periods. At the end of the first grading period (the end of October), your child’s teacher will schedule a conference with you to discuss your child’s progress. At the end of each grading period, you will receive a printed Progress Report.

Student Information System (SIS)

Parents and guardians can access information about their children, including grades, absences, and discipline reports, through a ParentVUE SIS account. This is also the portal for parent access to FCPS 24/7 (also known as Blackboard) where teachers post classroom information and resources.
