BYOD At Rachel Carson MS
Rachel Carson MS encourages
students to bring their own laptops and tablets to school (BYOD) for use during
the instructional day. Whether writing a paper, solving math problems,
researching a topic, or collaborating with fellow students, portable technology
can help your child better complete his or her school work and assist them in
developing skills that will prepare them for their future. See more information
on FCPS and BYOD here.
Although Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) does not require students to
purchase their own devices, if you are considering purchasing a device that
your child could use during the school day or at home, please review the specifications listed here. Also, FCPS has partnered with Dell, HP, and Microsoft to
provide discounted devices and software for all students in FCPS. You can
access more information at our Technology@Home
site.

Finance Park Field Trips
Eighth grade students will soon be going to Finance Park. This program, sponsored by Junior Achievement, offers students opportunities to participate in practical budget simulations and allows them to apply their knowledge of financial literacy learned through their math and civics classes. Many parent volunteers are needed to ensure that we can fully participate in all aspects of the day. Volunteers may receive more information and sign up at this link:
