Family Engagement Survey ✅

✅ Take the Family Engagement Survey!

If you haven’t already, please take FCPS’ Family Engagement Survey today! Survey results will help us to better recognize, understand, respect, and address family strengths and needs in our school community. Survey topics include:

  • Welcoming environment
  • Communication
  • Student success
  • Advocacy 
  • Family and school partnerships
  • Community partnerships

The survey is available in 10 languages. Please check your email for a message from FCPS partner, K12 Insight, with a link to the survey or access the survey now. Your voice matters!


Attendance 🏫

Spring Break graphic

This year, spring break is March 25-29. We will be eager to welcome your children back to school on Wednesday, April 3, after two teacher work days. Student attendance is very important. Every day, our teachers will be teaching, and students will be learning. Studies have shown that just two absences per month can cause students to fall behind. Let’s finish this school year strong. Visit FCPS’ website for attendance resources

FriYay AttenDANCE 🕺💃

Today's Attendance rate is 83.8%.

As of today, students enrolled at the beginning of the school year that have missed 12 or fewer days of school are helping us reach our goal of 85% (percentage of students not chronically absent). Thank you for making regular school attendance a priority! We love dancing our way out of the building on Fridays at dismissal when our overall chronic absenteeism rate is below 15%!

Pickup Patrol

Use PickUp Patrol to report absences

In emergencies, email or call the front office 

This is a reminder to put your students' absence, arriving late, or leaving school early in Pickup Patrol (PUP). All default plans should be up to date. Make sure you change the default plan anytime you change your students' permanent dismissal. Emails and phone calls are no longer encouraged, except for emergencies. When you enter a change in PUP, it goes directly to your child’s teacher as well as our front office staff. Please remember to provide a reason for the absence, late arrival or early dismissal. Changes must be entered on PUP by 2:30pm each day. If you need assistance setting up your PickUp Patrol account, please reach out to Adriana Barreto at 703-633-6400 or aabarreto@fcps.edu. 

Este es un recordatorio para poner la ausencia de sus estudiantes, llegar tarde o salir temprano de la escuela en Pickup Patrol (PUP). Todos los planes predeterminados deben estar actualizados. Asegúrese de cambiar el plan predeterminado cada vez que cambie el despido permanente de sus estudiantes. Ya no se recomiendan los correos electrónicos ni las llamadas telefónicas, excepto en casos de emergencia. Cuando ingresa un cambio en PUP, se envía directamente al maestro de su hijo y al personal de nuestra oficina principal. Recuerde proporcionar el motivo de la ausencia, llegada tardía o salida anticipada. Los cambios deben ingresarse en PUP antes de las 2:30 p. m. todos los días. Si necesita ayuda para configurar su cuenta PickUp Patrol, comuníquese con Adriana Barreto al 703-633-6400 o aabarreto@fcps.edu.

 

هذا تذكير لوضع غياب طلابك أو الوصول متأخرًا أو مغادرة المدرسة مبكرًا في دورية الالتقاط  Pickup Patrol (PUP). يجب أن تكون كافة الخطط الافتراضية محدثة. تأكد من تغيير الخطة الافتراضية في أي وقت تقوم فيه بتغيير الانصراف الدائم لطلابك. لم يعد يتم تشجيع إرسال رسائل البريد الإلكتروني والمكالمات الهاتفية، باستثناء حالات الطوارئ. عندما تقوم بإدخال تغيير في PUP، فإنه يذهب مباشرة إلى معلم طفلك وكذلك موظفي المكتب الأمامي لدينا. يرجى تذكر تقديم سبب الغياب أو الوصول المتأخر أو الانصراف المبكر. يجب إدخال التغييرات على PUP بحلول الساعة 2:30 ظهرًا كل يوم. إذا كنت بحاجة إلى مساعدة في إعداد حساب PickUp Patrol الخاص بك، فيرجى التواصل مع Adriana Barreto على الرقم 703-633-6400 أو aabarreto@fcps.edu
