#WeAreFC
The English 11 Team is ready to dig into The Crucible with their students!
Attendance Matters!
Attendance drives everything! It is tied to almost every aspect of school performance and future outcomes.
Students who frequently miss school:
- Have lower financial security
- Develop delinquent patterns that may lead to adult criminal behaviors
- Are more likely to engage in risky behavior like substance abuse or gang activity
- Are subject to school consequences such as loss of privileges or suspension

2019-20 Changes to Advanced Placement Test Opt-Out Timeline and Fees
FCPS will continue paying the fees for the first six AP tests taken for courses in which students are enrolled for high school credit. Students taking AP tests without enrolling in the corresponding FCPS course are responsible for the test fees.
If students do not wish to take an AP exam, they will have the opportunity to opt-out of the test(s) by filling out an Opt-Out form to be provided by their AP teacher by October 1st. Opt-Out forms are due to Mr. Walker or Ms. Vargas in student services by October 15th.
Parents will be billed in December 2019 for tests that exceed the six FCPS funded tests. Per College Board’s new fee structure, AP students that do not sit for a registered AP test or drop their AP class after October 15th will be assessed a $40 fee.
For more information, visit MyAP, College Board’s digital AP platform.

Make the College Connection at the 44th Annual College Fair and College Night Programs
Fairfax County Public Schools high school students and their families are encouraged to attend the 2019 College Fair on Sunday, October 20, 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., at Fair Oaks Mall, and College Night on Monday, October 21, 7 to 9 p.m., at Hayfield Secondary School. Both events provide opportunities for college-bound students and their families to gather information from a variety of schools.
Approximately 300 colleges and universities are represented, including two- and four-year colleges, international colleges, and military academies. Additionally, College Night features workshops related to the college admissions process, standardized testing, and financial aid.
Interpreters will be available during College Night, but these services must be requested in advance by contacting Susie Statham at sstatham@fcps.edu or at 571-423-4429. Students are highly encouraged to register in advance for these events. Upon registration, each student will receive a unique bar code, which will allow colleges to scan the student’s information instead of having to fill out an information card for each college or university.
Details and registration are available online.
