The first days of school are going very well. Please read the following information so that you and your student are aware of our arrival and dismissal procedures:
Arrival - Kiss and Ride: If you are driving your student to school, Kiss and Ride locations are doors #5 and #13. We encourage you to send your student to school the way that he/she will always go to school (i.e. riding the bus, walking, or utilizing Kiss & Ride). This will help your student know what to expect every day of the school year. Please follow the directions of staff members, and ALWAYS drive slowly. Remember that students and staff are in the parking lot.
The building opens to students at 7:30 AM. Students need to be in their classrooms, ready to learn, by 8:10 AM.
Dismissal: No early dismissals after 2:30 PM, because buses are arriving and we are preparing for dismissal. Dismissal is at 2:55 PM.
Please be aware that all of us are getting used to new routines at the start of the school year. Thank you for your patience as those routines are established.
If a student’s bus is delayed, parents may access the Bus Delay Notification System or use the Here Comes the Bus mobile app to receive the delayed bus report. E-Notify (School Messenger) email messages will also be sent to announce significant bus delays. Contact the Transportation Office at 703-446-2150. For any concerns after hours (after 5:30 PM), contact Safety and Security at 571-423-2000.
Students do need to pay for breakfast and lunch this year; meals are no longer free for all students. If you need assistance with paying for your student’s meals, please apply for Free/Reduced Meals. More information and the application can be completed here: https://www.fcps.edu/frm. When completing the application, please also complete the section regarding sharing this information. By electing to share the information, it allows us to waive other fees like class fees, SAT/ACT registration, etc.
Make sure your cell phone numbers are listed in the parent/guardian contact information section on the emergency care information form for each of your children. Parents and guardians can view and update emergency contact information online using weCare@school.
Text messages will be sent in the event of emergencies, delays or school closings, if buses are running more than 30 minutes late, if your student missed the morning attendance deadline, and for other important reminders.
Standard message and data charges may apply for text messages depending on your cell phone service plan. More about text messages is available online.

FCPS has tools to help parents and guardians know more about their child’s activity on any FCPS device. These tools are provided by Lightspeed, our internet content filtering service, at no cost to families. You may sign up for a weekly Parent Report, which will provide a list of the top sites your child visited. |
If you want more detailed information, sign up for the Internet Use Parent portal and log-in anytime to see more detail about your child’s browsing and “pause” access to the internet during non-school hours. Find out more and sign up for these services on our website.
