Students’ Electronic Devices
Parents, please discuss with your children who may have received expensive electronic equipment over the holidays what safeguards they will use if they choose to bring them to school.  Kilmer Middle School and FCPS does not assume responsibility for students’ personal property at school. Students and their parents are urged, therefore, to carefully consider the types and value of property that students take to school. Once at school it is then important to adhere to individual teachers’ directions about the acceptable use of cell phones and technology during instructional times.
