FCPSOn

FCPSOn is a district-wide initiative that will issue student laptops for use both at school and at home starting in the 2019-2020 school year.  If you have any questions about FCPSOn you can visit this link, or contact our Technology Specialist Scott Thimons. Here are answers to a few of our most commonly asked questions:

Are we going to continue using Google Classroom and Blackboard?

Yes. FCPS 24-7 (Blackboard) and FCPS Google Apps for Education are two core instructional tools in the FCPSOn digital ecosystem that coexist and interact to impact how students learn, where students learn, and when students learn.

What sort of expectations are in place for students and teachers? Are assignments going in one place? Will there be common classroom expectations?

FCPS is entering a multi-year transformation to align our classroom instruction with our goal for all students – the FCPS Portrait of a Graduate. During the first year of this effort, the focus will be on building teacher and student capacity for learning in this type of environment. Because each school staff is at a different place in adopting these types of instructional practices, schools will be determining the best pace at which they move forward. Related to this, as part of FCPSOn, the division is working to build out its digital ecosystem which will help teachers and students use all of the different tools that we have available seamlessly.
