Frederick County Public Schools recognizes the importance of parental involvement in student education. The school district encourages parent participation in various aspects of their child's education, including attending meetings, providing feedback on school plans, and receiving training and support. Parents are legally obligated to support their child's education and behavior, which includes reviewing and acknowledging school policies, meeting with school officials when requested, cooperating with the school to improve their child's behavior and attendance, and facing potential legal consequences for failing to fulfill these responsibilities.
Both parents have the right to inspect their child's school records, visit the school, and receive notifications required by law. The custodial parent is responsible for keeping the school informed of contact information and providing any legal documents restricting the noncustodial parent's rights. By fostering strong partnerships between schools and families, the district aims to improve student achievement and create a positive learning environment for all students.
