Are you a military-connected family? 

In an effort to ensure that the unique needs of military-connected students are met, state law requires that schools collect information on military-connected students. The goal is to help accommodate these students by providing them with support and consistency when their parents are deployed, when they are transitioning between schools, and at other pivotal times during their academic career.  

If you are a military-connected family, please:

  • Download and complete this fillable form.
  • Complete one form for each of your children.
  • Return to the mcanny@wcpss.net. 

The deadline is Nov. 11. You may also print and return a hard copy of the form to HES if you prefer.
