Student Services Updates


No-Cost Mental Health Teletherapy for Students


Tele Therapy

FCPS has partnered with Hazel Health to begin offering virtual mental health services to high school students via live video sessions. Starting Monday, April 10, parents/caregivers who have been struggling to find a therapist for their child or who notice changes in their child’s behavior will be able to connect them virtually with a licensed therapist. Teletherapy is available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. The first step for parents is to provide information through an opt-in form. Visit FCPS’ Teletherapy webpage for details.


College and Career Center Updates


Attention Seniors! NOVA is pleased to bring back JumpStart2NOVA for summer 2023! This opportunity is for seniors who are thinking of coming to NOVA in the fall 

All classes will be offered through NOVA Online and run May 30st through August 9th, 2023.  Students are required to pay for textbooks or other course materials. Courses have been selected based on their usability in NOVA degrees and their status as part of the Uniform Certificate of General Studies.

The application opens March 27 and will close at 5PM on April 28th, 2023.  First-time NOVA students will need to apply to NOVA and create an account to request the course in nvcc.dualenroll.com.  Current DE students can skip the NOVA application and go straight to nvcc.dualenroll.com, selecting term “JumpStart2NOVA 2023.”  All students will be required to upload a high school/homeschool transcript and any qualifying test scores if they do not have a 3.0 GPA.

To learn more about JumpStart2NOVA, including course offerings, minimum qualifying scores, and details on how to apply, please visit http://www.nvcc.edu/jumpstart/.
