FCPS Student Enrollment for Fall

Deadline to Select Option is Extended to July 15

All parents\guardians of students registered at Hunters Woods ES for the 2020-2021 school year should have received an email from Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) last week which provided you with a link asking you to select your preference for distance learning or in-school learning for the fall.

The plan offers families two choices: 

  • Option 1: Full-time online instruction. Students will take part in virtual, teacher-directed instruction four days a week.  Details.
  • Option 2: Students will receive at least two full days of instruction in school each week. Students will be engaged in independent study and work on the days they are not in the school building.  Details

If you did not receive the email from FCPS, the link and other information are below:

  • https://www.fcps.edu/enroll2020
  • Deadline to submit your student(s) enrollment option has been extended to Wednesday, July 15.  If no response is received by the 15th, the student will automatically be enrolled for in-person instruction for the year.
  • Student ID is needed to complete the survey. Student ID numbers can be found in your ParentVue account. If you have any trouble finding the ID number, please contact Lamiaa Salama at lasalama@fcps.edu.
