Bus Notes:
If your student is interested in riding the bus home with a friend, no problem! We need a note from each parent, one for the student riding the alternate bus and one from the other parent approving another student to come to their house after school. Each note needs to be brought to the main office at the beginning of the school day and a bus pass will be available for the student riding the alternate bus at the end of the school day.
Bus notes are no longer be accepted by email. We need a note bought to the main office by each student at the beginning of the day.
FCPS Calendar Survey:
In an annual planning process, FCPS uses input from the community to help develop the school year calendar for the following year. The Calendar Survey will be sent to parents/caregivers, employees, and students in grades 7-12.
Our framework for creating the calendar is available online to ensure transparency, as we work to build a calendar that is inclusive and equitable.
