The first week of February is National School Counseling Week! If a member of the Student Services Department has helped you or your student or you want to thank them, please use this survey to write a nice note. You can also reach out directly to members of the student services department to show your appreciation.
Bus Riding Policy
As we begin the second semester of school, we'd like to remind families of our bus riding policies. All students are expected to ride their assigned bus home each day. Because of the high volume of students assigned to each bus route, students should not make plans to ride another student's bus home. If students have a need to get together after school, parents should arrange for transportation after their child arrives home.
If you feel that you have a special circumstance that warrants your student riding a different bus on a particular day, please contact Assistant Principal Sybil Terry, sdterry3@fcps.edu.
