As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we want to inform you that Technology Pickup for Chromebooks will take place during the first week of school during English or PE classes.

Please note that each student will receive a Chromebook for use throughout the academic year, provided that their device was returned at the end of last year. If your child did not return their Chromebook last year, please contact Jack McAuley at jpmcauley1@fcps.edu or (703) 824-3957.

If your student requires a password reset, they may visit our Technology Specialists during the first week of school or receive a password reset from their classroom teachers.


Required Immunizations

All students are required to be immunized against certain communicable diseases to attend school in the state of Virginia. It is important for all students to receive the required immunizations. 

Please talk with your family health care provider about whether or not your children are up to date on their vaccines before the new school year begins. Submit updated immunization records to your school as soon as possible. Appointments are required for most vaccination clinics. Don’t wait until the last minute when you might not be able to find an appointment. Visit the Fairfax County Health Department website for a schedule of clinics or schedule with your family’s health care provider

More information on immunization requirements and the necessary documentation is available online.

You may drop the records off in Student Services between 8:30 AM – 1:30 PM during any weekday, mail the records to Justice High School Student Services, or email the records to:

Pre-K Program Accepting Applications for 2024-25

The FCPS Pre-K program serves 3- and 4-year-olds who are either income-eligible or who face certain educational challenges. Programs are in place in 73 FCPS elementary schools. Apply for Pre-K online or call 703-208-7900 (English) or 703-208-7901 (Spanish) for more information and to apply.


No-Cost Virtual Therapy for High School Students

Virtual therapy sessions are available at no cost to FCPS high school students to provide a safe space to address concerns such as:

  • Mood/behavior changes, motivation, grief/loss.
  • Anxiety, worry, fears.
  • Social skills, bullying, peer and family relationships.
  • Academic stress.

In order for students to participate, caregivers must give permission for FCPS to share basic demographic information with Hazel Health in ParentVUE. They must also provide consent for their student to access therapy services. 

Students may then be referred by a guardian or designated school staff member. Refer your child by calling 571-749-2940 or contacting an FCPS school counselor, social worker, psychologist, or director of Student Services.

Visit the FCPS Teletherapy webpage for more information.


Student Insurance

During the school day, a student may have an accident that results in injury. There is a common misconception that FCPS (Fairfax County Public Schools) is financially responsible for medical bills resulting from such injuries. However, this is not the case.

Students who participate in sports are required to have health insurance. FCPS does not provide medical insurance for students, but parents can purchase low-cost Voluntary Student Insurance through K & K Insurance Group.

This student accident insurance program offers an affordable way for parents to cover medical or dental expenses resulting from their child's accident. For those who already have medical or dental insurance, this additional coverage can help with deductibles, limitations, and exclusions. For those without medical insurance, these accident policies provide primary coverage.

Please read the information on K&K Student Accident Insurance found here, to determine if this coverage would be beneficial for your child.
