Family Technology Supports

To support families who are working with their children during distance learning, FCPS has launched a new Parent Technology Help Desk, effective Monday, August 24. The help desk can be reached at 833-921-3277 (833-921-FCPS) and will be answered by staff members between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m., seven days a week.

FCPS has also set up Parent and Student Technology Support portal at https://itweb.fcps.edu/itsupport/ to allow older students and parents/guardians to request technology help directly. When a support request ticket is entered through the portal, it is auto-routed to the TSSpec at the appropriate site to expedite service. 

Shrevewood has also created a Return to School Webpage that will be updated with important information for this year.  Please use this page as a resource for your family.  Shrevewood specific technology support can be found here.

Tips for Virtual Orientations

We hope that each family was able to schedule a time with their student's homeroom teacher for Welcome Orientations. The goal of these orientations is to start building relationships and making sure students are set up for access on the first day of school.  

  • Be mindful of time- please don't log in more than five minutes before your schedule time 
  • Use the computer that your student will be accessing for virtual learning so that the teacher can help you set it up 
  • Parents will be emailed the slides for the session afterwards
