The FCPS Department of Student Services is now receiving requests for transfers to schools outside of a student's home attendance district for the 2022-2023 school year. Requests to transfer from a student's home school district must be made by parents/legal guardians. Guidelines for requests are outlined in FCPS Regulation 400-15.

Parents/guardians must apply for an out-of-district transfer annually. Therefore, if your child is currently attending a school out of your attendance district, you must complete and submit an application if you would like to request that your child remain at that school.

If a school's enrollment is over capacity, it is necessary to restrict out-of-district student transfers to those schools. This includes students whose daycare providers are located outside their assigned attendance area.

Please click here to see school enrollment information: 2022-2023 FCPS Enrollment Projections and Closed Schools

Out-of-district requests submitted as the result of school redistricting by the Board of Education may be denied.

Parents or guardians who wish to request an out-of-district transfer for the 2021-2022 school year must apply by completing an out-of-district application. The applications are available in English and Spanish. The application can also be found online at http://www.fcps.org under the "For Families and Students" tab. The application window is open until March 1, 2022. Families will be notified of the decision by April 1, 2022.

If you need assistance, please call (240) 236-2493 or email outofdistrict@fcps.org.

A note stating the reason for absence or lateness is required upon the student’s return, or the absence is automatically classified as unlawful until an approved note is provided. FCPS Regulation 400-98 mandates that a school letter be mailed when a student accumulates 3 days of unlawful absences in any marking term. These letters were sent from MYES this week.

Anytime your child will be absent from school, please either send in a handwritten note or you can email MYES.Attendance@fcps.org. If you'd like to include your child's teacher in the email as a courtesy, it would be appreciated.

The Little Mermaid Production will be splashing its way into the hearts of MYES students in the Spring of 2022.

Paperwork will be emailed. Please email myesplay2022@gmail.com with your child’s name and grade and we will send the packet to you. You may either complete the forms and email the packet back to us or have your child bring the completed packet to school prior to auditions. Please seal it in an envelope marked MYES PTA – Tammy Fisher.

Audition dates:
2nd and 4th graders: February 23, 4-6pm
3rd and 5th graders: February 24, 4-6pm

Play rehearsals will be held afterschool on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 4-5:30pm at MYES beginning March 8. Your child will only need to attend rehearsals when their part is scheduled. The schedule will be released after auditions.

Each auditioning student will need to have a song prepared. It can be as simple as singing Happy Birthday! Every student will be cast! There are plenty of spots for both boys and girls!

Parent Volunteers will be needed. Please sign up through SignUp Genius: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0C4CA9A728AAF58-myersville

Please sign up for Remind to receive up to date information. This will be our main avenue of communication with the parents regarding schedule changes, COVID protocols, etc. Text @myespl to 81010 to sign up.

Frederick County Public Schools has three inclement weather days remaining built into the 2021-22 school year. If inclement weather prompts FCPS to close, it will be a traditional snow day and a virtual option will not be used.

While FCPS utilized virtual learning during the early stages of the global health crisis, this year we will work toward instituting systemwide virtual learning and evaluate the viability of a virtual option for inclement weather days if all available inclement weather days are used.

How can the community find out about inclement weather decisions?

The FCPS Office of Public Affairs swiftly communicates inclement weather decisions as soon as they are made using a variety of communications tools:

• FCPS social media (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram)
• FCPS.org
• FCPS Find Out First text messages and emails
• FCPS Cable Channel 18

Local and regional media are also alerted.

What are the fastest ways to find out about inclement weather closures?

Our FCPS Maryland social media channels are usually the first to have updates about closures and delays. FCPS.org and FCPS Cable Channel 18 are also quickly updated. It can take up to 30 minutes for FCPS to alert our media partners and for a FindOutFirst message to get published.

We encourage families to sign up for text message alerts via Find Out First. Text messages are only sent in case of an emergency or in case of inclement weather closure or delay notifications. To sign up for text messages, visit www.fcps.org/fof, log in, and add a cell phone number in the profile. Text messages are distributed faster than email messages.

Myersville Elementary is a place where students and staff are engaged learners. They feel safe to take risks and all contributions are valued. Here we have fun while we learn in our school community.

Get FindOutFirst email and emergency closing phone-text messages from Frederick County, Maryland based on the areas of interest you select.
