School Picture Days

We are excited to have Lifetouch take portraits of your child on Monday, February 22 from 9:00-4:00 p.m., Wednesday, February 24 from 9:00-1:00 p.m. and Thursday, February 25 from 1:00-6:00 p.m. This year the process will be different, pictures will be taken by family instead of by class. To sign-up for a time slot for the Weyanoke students in your family please click here. Families may order photos at www.MyLifetouch.com  using the picture day ID: EVTVK472H (The Picture Day ID expires at midnight of the last picture day - 2/25/2021.)

Pictures will be taken in the Gym at your scheduled time. One parent and student(s) will enter through door #5 which is near the playground. Families will have to answer the health questionnaire before entering the building, we will have a QR code at the door that you can scan with a mobile device and complete onsite. Safety protocols must be followed before entering the building. Everyone present MUST always wear a face covering. Student(s) and parent will arrive with masks on and the students should be camera ready (jackets already removed, etc.) When it is their turn, students will step into the picture taking area and will remove their mask and hold it in their hand until their photo is finished.  (Hands will not show in the finished image.) After the picture is taken, the student is instructed to place the mask back on and then exit through the designated door.

If you have any questions please contact Dorothy Walsh at dlwalsh1@fcps.edu or by phone at 703-813-5400

Chrome Sync Rollout

As part of FCPS’s ongoing effort to support student use of technology, Chrome Sync and the ability to save passwords will be available as an option starting on February 18th.  Students are not required to use Chrome Sync and save passwords, but may choose to them in order to:

• reduce their log-in time.  
• access bookmarks and extensions across devices.  

Chrome will remember and offer saved passwords when students are logging into different instructional applications. Chrome will also make bookmarks and extensions available on any device in which the student logs into Chrome and turns on Sync.

If your student would like to use Chrome Sync and save passwords, support resources are available on the FCPS website.  If your child is logging into Chrome now, they may need to log out of Chrome and log back in to see the new features.

FCPS has developed multiple resources that can help with basic technology issues to support learning at home.

• If there is a problem with your Weyanoke-issued laptop, you may enter a support request ticket via the Parent and Student IT Portal.
• FCPS' Parent Technology Resource page includes tip sheets in multiple languages that provide answers to basic questions about FCPS technologies.
• FCPS’ YouTube channel has videos on basic technology topics that highlight some of the key FCPS tools, such as Google and Blackboard. These videos are designed to provide solutions for quick, simple questions. 
• Broader inquiries about FCPS programs or resources for families may be directed to the Parent Resource Center at 703-204-3941, or use one of our eight Parent Information Phone Lines for information in multiple languages.
