Cox Connect2Compete Program
FCPS is working to ensure that all FCPS students have internet access at home. In partnership with Cox Communications, FCPS will pay for Internet service for the school year for qualifying families. Cox’s Connect2Compete program provides low-cost internet to families that meet these qualifications:
- have at least one child that attends an FCPS school;
- participate in, or qualify for, one of these government subsidy programs: The National School Lunch Program, SNAP, TANF or Public Housing.
- have not had Cox standard internet services in the home within the last 90 days.
If your family is in need of Internet service at home so that your student can participate in virtual learning, please contact us to begin the application process. If you qualify for the program, we will contact you to let you know how to complete the steps to receive your Internet service.
If you have any questions about this program, please reach out to Caroline Lee, School Social Worker clee9@fcps.edu.

Our school counselors are excited to kick off the school year and welcome our students into the virtual school year! School counselors are advocates for our students as they partner with parents, families, staff, and community members to support student success.
Students can access their counselor by emailing them during the month of September. At the end of September we will be having our Counselor Introductory Lesson and we will use the Remind App to schedule appointments with students.
