Thank You!
Thank you, FCPS staff and families, for going above and beyond to prepare for a successful start to the 2021-22 school year. Today is possible because of the dedication of the more than 24,600 educators that make FCPS a great place to learn and work and the patience and resilience of our families.
 
Have a great 2021-22 school year!
