The importance of keepingcontact information up to date.

In this new virtual environment, it’s more important than ever to keep the lines of communication open. If you have a new e-mail address or new phone number, please let us know as soon as possible so you can keep receiving critical information. Also, if you have a concern, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our staff – your child(ren)’s teacher(s), our administrators, our mental health support team, and/or our parent liaisons. You’ll find more information about the last two below.

If you still need assistance with setting up a SIS Parent Vue account or accessing Blackboard 24/7 – which is only possible using the SIS Parent Vue portal – please contact either registrar Cassandra Baltimore at clbaltimore@fcps.edu or parent liaison Tania Muskett at tmmuskett@fcps.edu.


Registration for School Year 2020-2021

Children residing in our boundaries who will turn 5 years old on or before September 30, 2020, as well as students in grades 1-6 transferring from Private/Home Schools or moving into our boundaries prior to the start of the new school year may visit our website and select an appointment to register. Due to the closure of schools, appointments through June are cancelled.  However, we are asking that anyone needing to register new students for the upcoming 2020-2021 school year select an available appointment by visiting our Student Registration page and clicking the button. This will allow our registrar to notify you of any steps that may be taken in the meantime to process the enrollment, get immediate information to you for when we are back up and running and if earlier appointments become available, as well as allow us to adequately prepare for next school year.  Please note that staffing for next school year is supported by early registration. Please do not wait to sign up for an appointment. We appreciate your support in this effort!

All information pertaining to registration can be found here.
