PSAT Information
This is a reminder that Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) will offer the Preliminary SAT (PSAT)/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT) to students in grades 10-11 on October 13, 2021. A PSAT/NMSQT Testing Notification letter is posted online. Students with disabilities who have testing accommodations documented in a 504 plan or an individualized education plan (IEP) may be eligible for testing accommodations on the PSAT/NMSQT. The College Board must approve a formal request for each student. If the student already has College Board accommodations approved from a previous PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, SAT, or AP test, then no further action is needed. Once instated, accommodations remain in place for all College Board testing. The Accommodations Process for College Board Testing webpage provides instructions on how to request College Board testing accommodations. To request new or amended College Board accommodations for the October PSAT/NMSQT, return the forms to Cedar Lane by August 10, 2021.
There are two forms to return: an input form on which you will circle the requested accommodations, and a consent form signed by parent/guardian and student. Instructions can be found at https://www.fcps.edu/node/38354. If preferred, paper forms can be printed from this link: https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/forms/CollegeBoardTestAccommEnclosuresEnglish.pdf

Parent Help Desk Summer Hours
The Parent Technology Help Desk will continue to support parents and students through the summer months.
Beginning on Monday, June 14, we are moving the service to our in-house Service Desk. The phone number for parents will stay the same - 833-921-3277 (833-921-FCPS) - and the reduced hours for summer are 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday in June, July and early August. Outside of those hours, parents can also visit the Parent and Student IT Support Portal to find self-help resources or submit a tech support request ticket.
Laptop Distribution at Cedar Lane SY 2021-22
Students who are attending academy classes, will be issued laptops on the first day of school, as they need them to participate in academy. All other students will be issued laptops during the second week of school (August 30-September 2). This allows teachers to begin building relationships and setting expectations for the classroom and the building.
