Here Comes the Bus Mobile App

  • Know when your bus is approaching your stop! 
  • Here Comes the Bus® app is a school bus tracking app that can simplify morning and afternoon routines for parents and students by giving them real-time bus location and text or email notification alerts, helping them get to the bus stop on time.
  • Here Comes the Bus® utilizes our GPS data and an easy to use customizable map that works on one or multiple devices, such as a tablet or smartphone.

Using the app is EASY!  You will need the FCPS school district code 28982 and a SIS Parent Account.  Please be sure to follow the detailed instructions here to set up your account. 


SOL (Standards of Learning) Testing Updates-Elementary Grades 3-6

Across Virginia, students will be taking Standards of Learning (SOL) tests this spring. At Crossfield ES testing for grades 3-6 will be scheduled between May 10 and May 27, 2021.

We ask that all 3rd through 6th grade families complete this online Google intent form. Contact Lea Fadden (ltfadden@fcps.edu) at our school if you need help accessing or completing the form.

Below is a tentative SOL testing schedule for Crossfield:

SOL
  • All SOL tests must be taken in-person at school. SOL tests are not available for remote delivery from home.
  • If you do not wish for your student to take SOL tests at school this spring, you have the right to refuse testing.
  • If you choose to refuse the grade 3-8 SOL reading or mathematics test for your virtual student, you will have the opportunity for them to complete an alternative, non-SOL test at home. The Virginia Remote Student Progress Monitoring Test will provide information about strengths and areas for growth in grade level content standards.
