Be Prepared for AP Digital Exams!
AP Digital Exams (taken at-home) are scheduled to begin on Tuesday, May 18 - see full AP exam schedule here.
All AP students taking digital exams have been provided information by their AP teachers about necessary steps to ensure they are ready for their digital exams. Students may use their FCPS-provided laptop for testing OR their personal computer (tablets and phones are not suitable devices for testing).
Specifically, there are four steps students need to take – 3 steps before the exam day, and one on the date of their digital exam. See the graphic below and the link that follows for additional information on these 4 required steps for digital exams (regardless of testing device).
Four Steps to Take Digital Exams
In the offhand chance that a problem occurs during digital testing, students will have the opportunity to request a makeup digital exam. Click here for more information about requirements and procedures should this information be necessary.
For specific questions about your student’s AP Exam(s), please first check with your student and check on Schoology for all information that has already been shared by the specific AP teacher(s). If questions remain, please contact the specific AP teacher.

Grading Policy Changes for HIGH SCHOOL – Adjusted Deadline!!
New Deadlines:
Underclassman - Friday, June 4
We are writing to share an update regarding the secondary grading policy changes that have been adopted to help our students achieve a strong finish to the school year.
FCPS is adjusting the grading policy for the 2020-21 school year to ensure students are not penalized by the challenges brought on by pandemic learning.
Key policy changes for high school students are listed below:
- Final Exam flexibility that ensures an exam can only serve to improve a student’s grade for the year. Teachers will apply this in their grading practices for each class.
- Use of No Mark, “NM”, instead of “F” grades for all courses. This will be automatically applied for any course in which a student receives an “F.”
- Allowing high school students to select a mark of “P” for pass for up to two courses for which a passing grade is earned for the final mark. As referenced above, for the 2020-21 school year, final marks of “F” will automatically receive a No Mark, “NM.”
-
Action Needed: Should you wish to designate one or more courses as Pass - No Mark status, the linked form must be submitted to your school counselor by the deadlines listed above. Please note that we have extended the previous deadline to allow more time for students and families to gain more information about their fourth quarter progress before making the decision to request a “P”.
- The course title is required on the form, but the course number may be left blank if you do not have it available.
Students and families are encouraged to carefully consider the option for Pass. Additional information including translated forms, considerations, and frequently asked questions are available at the following link: https://www.fcps.edu/academics/grading-and-reporting/secondary
Attention Sophomores who took the PSAT 10 in April, 2021:
Your score is available for the PSAT 10 in your College Board account as of Monday, May 17, 2021. If you currently do not have a CB account, you must set one up to view your score…click here for the instruction sheet for accessing your score report.

Effective July 1, 2021 all students entering twelfth grade will be required to receive one dose of Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY) administered at age 16 or older, and prior to the beginning of school.

Langley High School Credit Recovery Program - Summer 2021
This summer, Langley High School will be partnering with McLean High School who will be hosting credit recovery for our students who receive a final grade of No Mark (NM). NM is being used this year in lieu of an F to limit the impact of virtual learning on a student’s grade point average. However, students will still need to recover the course credit. Langley, McLean and Oakton High Schools will be combining credit recovery programs. This is to ensure we are able to offer all courses needed by students. McLean High School will host the program.
Credit Recovery offers opportunities for students to recover course credit(s), prepare to retake an SOL test, prepare to take a WorkKeys test, or develop academic language and skills necessary for success in future credit-bearing English and mathematics classes. Here is a table of important dates for each session:
 Each school day starts at 8:00 am and ends at 1:00 pm. Grab and go breakfasts and lunches will be available and free for all students who attend credit recovery.
Additionally, we will be offering ESOL Numeracy and Literacy courses for our English Language Learners who may need additional support after the past school year. Langley High School administrators and counselors will be reaching out to families soon with more information.
If you have any questions regarding credit recovery, please reach out to your student’s counselor. Counselor contact information is below.
Here is the contact information for Langley’s administration for credit recovery.

Parents are required to log into www.MySchoolBucks.com and from the homepage dashboard and click “Remove Student." Click the box under “Remove?” for the graduating student’s name.

Action Requested: Help save trees and FCPS $$ on postage by opting in to receive “Paperless” Report Cards (that can be printed through ParentVUE)
Parents/Guardians may opt into “Go Paperless” for report cards by following the below instructions:
- Parents/Guardians can take advantage of the paperless option, by logging into ParentVUE, then going to “My Account” and selecting "Go Paperless!". This is the only way to keep a paper report card from being generated for students at the secondary level.
