Justice HS Cell Phone Policy
Justice HS will be following the FCPS School Board Policy that was adopted at its meeting on May 9. Here are the key points:
- Cell phones may be used on campus before the first bell, after the last bell, during passing periods, and lunches.
- There will be cell phone storage cases in every classroom. All students shall put their phones in the cell phone storage case at the beginning of class. They will then pick it back up at the end of class.
- Phone accessories are also to be silenced and away when phone use is prohibited. Smart watches that serve a dual purpose may be worn, but the phone features (texting, Internet viewing, and calls) are to be off when phone use is prohibited. Airpods must also be out and away during all instructional periods.
- Students with a documented health or educational need through special services may have an exception. Please work through your child’s administrator if you believe an exception is needed.
- We will spend the first two weeks of school reviewing the new policy with students. We will go live with cell phones storage cases on Tuesday, September 3.
Student Chromebook Distribution
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.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Academic Integrity
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a type of technology that involves computer programming and data. There are many different types of AI tools. Some can use data to make predictions, decisions, and/or generate content. Teachers will specify when it is acceptable for students to use AI on any part of an assignment. Teachers will also review expectations for citing AI. They will also cover how students should show their work and explain their use of AI. Students should follow the Honor Code to maintain academic integrity. Students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the work they submit. Students should not use AI on an assignment unless the teacher has given permission. AI tools can produce false information called “AI hallucinations.” Students should always check what AI creates. Students should make sure it matches the needs of the project and audience. Students remain responsible for the content they submit.
Before using AI tools on assignments, students should ask their teacher(s):
- if AI can be used on any part of an assignment,
- how it can be used,
- how to show their work, and
- how to cite or explain their use of AI.
In general, students should not enter any of the following information into AI Tools:
- personal information (name, date of birth, etc.);
- education records (grades, transcripts, etc.); and
- work that belongs to others.
You can search the FCPS Digital Ecosystem Library (DEL) using "AI" (in quotes). It will show you which AI tool features are approved for use on FCPS devices or networks. The DEL provides information on approved audiences for each tool. Student use of AI must comply with the Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R). This includes the Acceptable Use Policy in Appendix A of the SR&R.
Personal devices may enable access to AI tools not approved in the DEL.
- Teachers will not require the use of AI tools that are not approved in FCPS.
- Parents/Caregivers decide what access to AI tools is appropriate on personal devices.
- Parents and students should read the AI tool's terms of service and privacy policies. Find out what kind of information the AI tool can collect, use, and share and what age students must be to use the tool. Check who retains rights to the data entered, the ability to delete data, and the ability to opt out of data sharing. Be aware that some AI tools may keep the information students enter and use it without permission. Students might not keep all rights to their work.
- Students should be careful with any information you give an AI tool.
Parents can explore resources from CommonSense Media: Resources on AI and Parent Tips and FAQs.
Regardless of whether a student uses a personal device or an FCPS device, students must follow teachers' expectations, the Honor Code, and SR&R.
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:
Julia Sanchez - Monzon at jmsanchezmon@fcps.edu.

Varsity Tutors Provides On-Demand Support at No Cost
FCPS is partnering with Varsity Tutors to provide students and families with extra resources for learning. Every student can take advantage of Varsity Tutors’ services at no cost, including weekly live online classes, on-demand 24/7 chat tutoring, essay editing, and study resources such as recorded content, practice problems, and diagnostic tests.

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.
