Learn About What Parents Can Do Now to Get Ready for Schoology
I am excited to share that students, families, and teachers throughout FCPS and in our school community will use Schoology (pronounced /SKOO-luh-jee/) as our learning management system beginning Summer/Fall 2021.
Here is what you need to know now:
- Starting in July 2021, we will not use Blackboard 24-7 Learning or Blackboard Collaborate Ultra (BBCU)
- Schoology has a connected web conferencing tool, Zoom
- Schoology works with Google Drive
- You need a SIS/ParentVUE account to login to Schoology: http://bit.ly/FCPSSIS
- All parents who are new to FCPS will be mailed an activation code for the SIS parent account during the month of August if the student is registered before August 7. This is a centralized process for all FCPS families joining FCPS. Please expect the code via USPS in August. if you have any further questions, please call the Hunt Valley main office at 703-913-8800.
Timeframe for activation code delivery:

FCPS Updates:
Return to School – Safety
https://www.fcps.edu/return-school/return-school-safety
Returning strong and staying strong all year
We all have a part to play in how we return strong and stay strong all year. The most essential thing we can do is keep our schools safe and healthy places to learn. This fall, we’re implementing layered prevention strategies to keep everyone healthy- especially those who are not yet able to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Check this page often for the latest information on FCPS’ commitment to safety and how you can help.
Mask Up!
Masks are an essential tool in preventing the spread of COVID-19 and protecting those unable to be vaccinated. To ensure a safe start to the school year, masks will be required for everyone, regardless of vaccination status, inside FCPS school buildings.
With respect to Fall 2021 Health and Safety practices, FCPS will continue to follow the guidance put forth by clinical researchers and medical providers from the CDC, VDH, and the FCHD to ensure the safest classrooms possible. This includes FCPS’ face covering (mask) requirements. The most recent recommendations include:
COVID-19 Vaccine: How to Schedule Your Child’s Second Dose
FCPS’ in-school COVID-19 vaccination sites were a great success! With the school year ending, FCPS will not be hosting vaccine clinics for the second dose. If your child received their first dose, please remember to schedule their second dose. This Second Dose Information Sheet explains how to proceed. FCPS is considering hosting another first dose clinic during the summer for students ages 12 and up. Please stay tuned for more information.
