Registration Process 

Staffing for next school year is supported by early registration. This helps to keep class sizes at optimal numbers for the best learning environment for all students.

Registration is open for all grade levels for the upcoming 2020 – 2021 school year. Currently, registration is occurring virtually with our registrar, Cassandra Baltimore, conducting enrollment interviews over the phone or via e-mail. If you need to register your child for school, please reach out to Ms. Baltimore at clbaltimore@fcps.edu

Please note that once schools reopen to the public, parents will need to make an appointment to complete the registration and present all required original documentation (birth certificate, deed or lease, etc.).

Please share this information with friends or neighbors who also need to register!


Has or Will Your Address Be Changing?

If you have moved or will be moving before the end of the school year, please be sure to contact Ms.. Baltimore at clbaltimore@fcps.edu to let her know. This is to ensure that your family will get learning packets and other important information for the rest of the year. Please note that even if you have moved or do move out of the Gunston boundary before the end of the school year, your child(ren) can continue to access Gunston distance-learning resources through the last day of school.


Family Resources

The family resource tab on Gunston’s Blackboard 24/7 is an area where we will share activities and resources that support social emotional learning (SEL), as well as community resources. Activities/ resources are compatible and easily adaptable to any grade level or age. We hope these activities, ideas, and resources will be helpful. Please feel free to reach out to anyone on the family support team (counselor, psychologist, social worker, parent liaison) if you ever have questions or need support! 

Recursos Para Familias

La barra que dice “Family Resources” en el Blackboard 24/7 de Gunston es donde vamos a compartir actividades y recursos que apoyan el aprendizaje socio-emocional (SEL), y también recursos en la comunidad.  Actividades/recursos son compatible y fácilmente adaptable para cualquier grado o edad.  Esperamos que encuentren estas actividades, ideas, y recursos útil. ¡Por favor comunícense con cualquiera de las personas en el equipo de apoyo familiar (consejera, psicóloga, trabajadora social, enlace familiar) si tienen preguntas o necesitan ayuda!
