Distance Learning Support
If you need assistance with distance learning, please use this list of contacts to reach the correct person. We have also included this tip sheet for parents to support their kids on this journey.

Distance Learning Starts April 14
FCPS' Distance Learning program starts tomorrow, Tuesday, April 14. The FCPS Distance Learning Plan provides detailed information about what to expect.
At all grade levels, teachers will provide specific information about the learning calendar for each class, and they are available if your child needs help. Whenever possible, families and caregivers are encouraged to support your child with the transition to distance learning and guide them to any support they may need.
If your student needs a laptop to complete distance learning assignments, please contact your principal.
We are excited to have you onboard with us as we embark on our Distance Learning journey. Information on technical support is available online.
Begin Strong on Day 1 of Distance Learning
Returning to school, even school at home, after an extended break can be difficult. Here’s some advice for getting your student back into study mode:
- Most important: Help your child set short-term goals for learning each day. Use a prompt such as: “My goals for today are_______.”
- Set a timer for focused work time.
- Break long tasks into smaller parts. Complete one part at a time.
- Schedule brain breaks and physical exercise into the day.

School Counselors Available
Need to speak with a counselor? Any FCPS parent may schedule a 30-minute phone consultation with a school psychologist or school social worker, for either themselves or their middle or high school student.
Consultations provide an opportunity for parents to receive guidance on how to support their child’s emotional well-being during their time away from school. Student consultations will provide support and strategies to students who may be experiencing difficulties with anxiety, mood, behavior, or peer or family interactions during this unprecedented and challenging time.
Note: Parent consultations are available for all grade levels. Student consultations are only available for middle and high school students. Schedule a phone consultation online
