Phones Down, Engagement Up: FCPS Cell Phone Policy and Storage Pilot

Keeping cell phones off during the school day helps students focus and learn. It also boosts positive social behavior. Review FCPS’ cell phone expectations by grade level with your child and help keep our classrooms free of distractions! If you need to reach your child during the school day, please call your child's subschool office - numbers listed below.


Annual Notice of Survey, Records, Curriculum, Privacy and Related Rights

Fairfax County Public Schools wants all parents and caregivers to understand its policies regarding surveys, records, curriculum, privacy, and related rights.

In its Annual Notice of Survey, Records, Curriculum, Privacy, and Related Rights and Opt-Out Forms (Annual Notice), FCPS provides explanations of the rights listed above as well as forms that may be used to exercise opt-out choices. Two versions of the Annual Notice are available: a grades K-8 version and a grades 9-12 version. Parents/caregivers with children at different grade levels should read each applicable version of the Annual Notice, because the notices and opt-out rights vary depending on the student’s grade level.

Get more information and view the 2024-25 Opt-Out Booklets.


Immunizations

Please check with your healthcare provider as soon as possible to make sure your child is up-to-date on the immunizations required by the state of Virginia. Starting Monday, September 30, students who have not provided proof of immunization will not be allowed to attend school. 

You can check your child’s immunization compliance and submit their immunization record in SIS ParentVUE. Records may also be delivered to a school’s front office. 

If your child needs a vaccine, please make an appointment with your healthcare provider, visit the Fairfax County Health Department website for a list of child immunization clinics, or access other local services. If needed, families may also provide other immunization documentation including a healthcare provider’s written statement of a permanent or temporary medical exemption or a notarized Religious Exemption Form. 

Find more information on immunizations on the FCPS website.

PE Uniform Information and Ordering

The expectation for the 2024-2025 school year is that Physical Education and Personal Fitness students will use their assigned locker room to change into safe, comfortable clothing for the class period; we prefer and recommend Robinson athletic wear.   Students' participation in class activities can be limited due to improper clothing.   Due to physical education and personal fitness grades being dependent on the ability to participate, students’ daily assessments in the assigned unit could be affected. The HPE department has set up a site where you can purchase Robinson Athletic wear to be ready for class activity. Students will be given the opportunity to lock their belongings within the locker room for their class period. Student’s belongings, including backpacks, laptops, and phones will be left in the locker room unless directed by the teacher. Students must have a master lock to lock items. This can be brought from home or purchased through the 2024-2025 PE site.  The window to purchase uniforms is currently open and will close on Friday, September 27, 2024.  Robinson Physical Education teachers will distribute the purchased uniforms to students.

Students are not permitted to have cell phones or headphones at any time in PE.  Cell phone usage during class can hinder learning, disrupt the learning environment, and negatively impact their engagement.

Please contact Jill Cross, JPCross@fcps.edu, HPE Department Chair, with any questions.
