General Information
Upcoming ACT and SAT Exams
FCPS will not be hosting the July 18 ACT exam. We hope to have more information soon to confirm whether or not schools will be able to host the August 29, 2020, SAT. The decision will be shared as soon as it becomes available.
Summer Continuity of Learning
To support student learning from June 29 to July 31, teachers will hold one hour per week of “office hours” for Continuity of Learning. Office hours for Mathematics, Language Arts, and English Language Development will be with one of our own outstanding staff members and are intended to support students with the digital practice resources and the English Language Development Summer Practice Book. Attendance is optional.
To register your student for office hours and receive a secure link, please complete this form. Once registered, your child will receive log-in information through his or her FCPS Google email address prior to the first session.
AP Exam Refunds
After all AP exams have been administered, the parents, guardians, or students that are due a refund will be identified by Financial Services. Refunds will be processed in late June/July.
AP Score Information:
Students in Virginia will receive access to their AP scores on July 17 at 8 a.m. ET. Students will access scores via their College Board account. If students don't remember their username or password, they can recover them on the College Board website—they should NOT create a new account. Students who are unable to reset usernames or passwords online, can call AP Services at 888-225-5427 or 212-632-1780 for assistance.
Opus Literary Magazine
The 2020 edition of The Opus Strides Literary Magazine has been published. The students and staff have worked very hard to get it together this year. Congratulations to all of our editors and students who had their pieces included. A copy can also be found on Oakton's website.
Yearbook Update
We are still awaiting the final shipment date of our 2020 yearbooks, we believe yearbooks should arrive in late July or early August. We are looking at distribution days the week of August 3 and August 10.
Parent Resources
FCPS has compiled a list of mental health resources that you may find beneficial. All of the resources can be accessed here at any time. Mental health resources and emergency services information can be found here.
Parent Response to Risky Student Behavior
During a time of disruption, students may find themselves feeling frustrated, isolated, or bored. They may turn to risky behaviors, including the use of tobacco, alcohol, or drugs.
Virtual supports are available from FCPS. Contact your school administrator or counselor who can refer you to your school-based substance abuse prevention specialist (SAPS). To learn more about the SAPS program, watch the six-minute FCPS video: Parent Presentation: Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs. The presentation features SAPS program professionals who discuss risk factors that make some students more likely to abuse substances and how parents can influence student decisions.
Do you have concerns about student vaping? Once again, your school counselor can help you. Also, you can watch Vaping: What Every Parent Should Know, a one-minute FCPS video.
Get more information about the SAPS program and vaping.
