Annual Notifications

2026-27

With the start of each new school year, Fayette County Public Schools shares important notifications as required by law. These policies are in place to keep our students safe and supported. If you have any questions, please reach out to your school’s principal. 

Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

Our district uses technology to enhance the student learning experience, and our Acceptable Use Policy outlines essential expectations for responsible use of district technology and digital resources. By enrolling your child in FCPS, you are agreeing to these guidelines.

• Review AUP

Student Code of Conduct

This is a comprehensive guide to district policies regarding student behavior. It is reviewed and updated annually with input from students, families, teachers, and administrators, and then adopted by the Fayette County Board of Education. These guidelines align with legal and policy requirements, spell out our high expectations for student conduct, explain the procedures staff members follow in addressing issues, and outline consequences for misconduct. The Student Code of Conduct is available in multiple languages on the Chromebooks issued to every student and also online:

• View the Code of Conduct
• Request a Paper Copy

Assaults & Threats of Violence / Sexual Extortion

Ensuring the safety and well-being of our students is a priority for FCPS. Families can play a key role by encouraging healthy relationships and respect for personal boundaries. Please review these resources:

• Assaults and Threats of Violence 
• Sexual Extortion Letter

These files can be found in multiple languages at FCPS.net/conduct on our district website. 

Optional Opt-Outs

The Student Code of Conduct also explains district policies and procedures regarding the release of your student’s information for:

• Media Coverage – the student or their work appearing publicly in photographs, web or print articles, audio/video broadcasts, and/or interviews
• FERPA Directory Information – the release of the student’s directory information to persons and organizations outside of FCPS, and 
• Military Recruiters – release of information to military recruiters (high school only)

To opt your child out of any of these, please submit the appropriate form to your school. Otherwise, your permission is assumed.
