Laptop Pick Up: Laptop pick up is August 10-20. Sign up for a time slot: FCPSOn Pick Up Information. Students must be present to receive their laptop and bring a photo id (previous year’s school id, a driver’s license/learner’s permit, walker’s id, passport, etc.  If no ID is available, we will work with the student to confirm identity.)

  • Note: If your student is opting out of the FCPSOn device program, check our Technology Resources page for guidelines. Students and their families need to agree with the school on the protocol; it is not as easy as just bringing in their own laptop from home. (The administrator to speak with for your form would be the assistant principal assigned to your letter of the alphabet.)

Counselor Assignments: Several counselor assignments have changed this year due to departures. Please visit the following page for updated counselor assignments for the 2021-22 school year - Student Services Staff 

Return to School: Visit our Return to School page on our website for back to school information including required forms and upcoming events.
