Parent Meeting: Supporting Student Success through Social and Emotional Learning
Dear Liberty Families,
The Student Services Department would like to invite you to attend a parent meeting live on Zoom on Friday, November 19th at 9:00 am.
This parent session will focus on “Supporting Student Success through Social and Emotional Learning”. Our presentation will provide tips and resources to assist parents/guardians in supporting the academic and emotional needs of students.
Student Services staff will be on hand to share information and conduct a brief Q&A session. This event will be held virtually, and we will be recording the session for anyone who is not able to attend. The meeting link will be sent tomorrow.
Thank you

- Participation in testing for students is optional
- Only students with parental consent will be tested
Testing Sites
- All schools and centers on a rotating schedule
Students tested in schools will be given a PCR test.
Test results will be kept confidential. Parents/guardians will be able to review results through the secure vendor portal. Parents/guardians may select an option to share their child’s test results with FCPS. Sharing results with FCPS is optional.
Students who have opted-in to testing will be tested during the school day.
Covid-19 Screening testing is a highly recommended strategy to reduce transmission and keep our schools and workplaces safe.
