Good evening,
This is Marcus Petty, Principal of James Monroe High School with important announcements:
School starts on August 18 with Transition Day for our ninth graders. Grade levels 10-12 will return on Tuesday, August 19. On Transition Day, ninth graders will meet their teachers, experience new classes, and routines, and start the 2025-2026 school year with success! We look forward to seeing our ninth graders only on August 18 and all students together on August 19!
We will continue our division-wide implementation of Responsibility Centered Discipline (RCD). Our school-wide foundations are Respect, Engage, Prepare! This initiative is part of our commitment to fostering a positive and supportive learning environment for all students.
Please take a moment review and discuss the FCPS Cell Phone and Personal Device Policy with your student before the first day of school. 🔗 FCPS Cell Phone and Device Free Policy
We are excited to let you know we’ll be using ParentSquare to communicate with you. ParentSquare provides a simple and safe way for everyone at school to connect. You can use ParentSquare on any device by downloading the free mobile app.
Please remind students no hats, hoods, do-rags/scarfs, bonnets, blankets. Students who have a religious or medical exemption will be approved on a case-by-case basis.
