Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology Applications

The Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology application window closed today.  It was open until today at 4 pm(with an application start deadline of Feb. 24th at 4pm).  We hope any interested student submitted their applications.


New Bell Schedule has Begun

As we prepare for students to return to in person learning in March, it was necessary to revise the bell schedule to accommodate more bus runs. The number of students allowed on each bus will be reduced substantially to meet social distancing requirements. With fewer students able to ride a bus at the same time, FCPS must adjust the times that buses are transporting students. The school day has been reduced by 15 minutes due to the increased cleaning time required between bus runs.

A revised bell schedule has been developed to improve start times and end times for all levels. The following bell schedule began Tuesday, February 16th, for both virtual and in-person instruction

  • Middle School - 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
  • At Key Middle School, we adopted the following new bell schedule beginning Tuesday, February 16th:
