If your student does live in the Vienna ES boundary, here is information about the process:
At this time, registrations will be completed virtually via email. Please prepare the following documents and email our Registrar, Darleen Ham, at dkham@fcps.edu.
- Registration packets can be found here https://www.fcps.edu/registration/forms.
- Copies of proof of residency in the form of a deed or a lease can also be sent virtually.

While we can not see what’s in store for us in the future, we are hopeful that with: a vaccine; a reduction in community spread; and mitigation strategies, we can have a return of students back into the building. Please help us open and keep open our doors by getting vaccinated, wearing a mask, washing hands, and maintaining social distance. Together we can and will get through this!
