September is Attendance Awareness Month
Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow! The beginning of the school year is the best time to develop strong attendance habits! Students who attend school regularly are more likely to perform well in reading and math, develop strong social and emotional skills, and graduate from high school on time. Help prepare your child for future success. Visit FCPS’ Attendance web page for tips and strategies.
2024-25 Student Rights and Responsibilities
FCPS’ Student Rights and Responsibilities document (SR&R) explains expectations for student behavior and adult responses to enhance school safety and to create a fair, equitable, and supportive school environment. Read Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid’s letter to families regarding the SR&R.

Family Life Education Instructional Program Info
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) provides a comprehensive, sequential Family Life Education (FLE) program for students in grades kindergarten through grade twelve. Instruction is seen as a partnership among parents and guardians, the school, and the community in supporting the learning essential to the development of strong families, positive relationships, and a healthy community.
Parents/guardians may choose to opt their child out of all or part of the Family Life Education program. Students who are opted out are provided with age-appropriate, nonpunitive alternative health instruction, and every effort is made to foster respect for family choices. If you wish to opt your child out of all or part of FLE for this school year, opt out forms are available in Parent Digital Consent. Paper opt-out forms are available from your child’s school. Students receiving special education services and accessing modified curriculum will receive a printed opt-out form for modified FLE lessons.
Detailed grade-level program descriptions are available online at Elementary (K-6) , Middle School (7-8) , and High School (9-12). FLE grade level-specific lessons and media that FCPS has streaming rights for are available for parents online in Schoology. Parents/guardians login to Schoology using the same username and password as their Student Information System (SIS) Parent account. Grade level-specific lessons are also available at the City of Fairfax Regional Library (this location does not have media). Grade level-specific lessons and media that is not streamed online are available for review at your child’s school library. Due to copyright permissions, we are unable to stream all media online.
Program questions may be addressed at your child’s school or by contacting Instructional Services at 571-423-4550 or by email to fle@fcps.edu.
Parental Consent Required for Selected Digital Resources
At Robinson Secondary School, our teachers will use a variety of digital resources to support student learning and promote communication and collaboration with students and families. Some digital resources — those that collect any student data or from vendors who have not established a formal contract with FCPS — cannot be used by students until we obtain consent from their guardian.
You can find the list of the resources that require parent/caregiver consent here on the Digital Resources-Parent Consent webpage. FCPS’ Digital Resources page provides additional information.
The Digital Resources-Parent Consent page has a link to the Digital Consent System, where the parent/caregiver will need to indicate whether or not their student is allowed to use the list of digital resources this year. You will need to access the form using your SIS ParentVUE username and password.
The Digital Resources page also highlights how FCPS carefully reviews digital resources and why we must obtain your consent before using certain tools. We encourage you to complete the Parental Consent for Digital Resources form as soon as possible, as your child will not be able to use the digital resources until we have received your permission.
Please reach out to Nathan Poumade (njpoumade@fcps.edu) or Elizabeth Joyce (eajoyce@fcps.edu), if you have questions or concerns.

We prefer and recommend Robinson athletic wear. The HPE department has set up a site where you can purchase Robinson Athletic wear to be ready for class activity (please see link below). Proper footwear is required for PE class. Crocs,slippers,etc. are not permitted. Students must wear shoes that enable them to participate fully every day. Students will be given the opportunity to lock their belongings within the locker room for their class period. Student’s belongings, including backpacks, laptops, etc. 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.

Who is your school social worker? My name is Kristen Licciardo and this is my 14th year working as a school social worker. This is my 10th year at Robinson! I have been working as a social worker with children and families for 29 years. I attended California State University, Northridge and received my Bachelor’s Degree in Child Development. I completed my Master’s Degree in Social Work at the University of Southern California. I spent the early part of my career working with children and families in mental health settings, including residential treatment centers, day treatment programs, non-public schools, and outpatient therapy programs. In California, I also worked as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker doing private practice. I relocated to Northern Virginia in 2009 and have enjoyed living on the east coast with my husband and two children, one a freshman and one senior in FCPS!
What does your school social worker do? I provide support to children and families in the areas of mental health, accessing community resources, basic needs, and special education. I partner with our school teams and counselors to ensure all students are achieving their full academic, social and emotional potential.
Important updates and resources from the student services department.
