We would like to introduce Ms. Arria Ibach Durham to the Student Services team! Arria Ibach Durham is joining Justice High School part-time in order to support our Section 504 Plans. Arria worked at South Lakes High School from 2002-2008 as a School Counselor before staying home with her three kids for 15 years. She returned to FCPS in January 2023 to support South Lakes High School as their part-time Section 504 Coordinator.
Arria will be coordinating and facilitating all Section 504 Plan meetings moving forward. The process of Section 504 Plan annual meetings will change slightly in that Arria will be the one reaching out to you for scheduling and facilitating the meetings. Justice HS Staff (teachers, School Counselor, and others) will still be in the meeting to support their students. If you have any questions, please reach out to adibachdurha@fcps.edu.

As a reminder, to support students in settling into a consistent class schedule, please see the timeline for schedule changes for the 2024-2025 school year.
- Starting September 23, 2024 - February 27, 2025:
- No Elective Change Requests
- All Academic Level Change Requests must complete the Academic Improvement Plan that involves a parent/teacher/student conference.
- If, after the Academic Improvement Plan, the student still wishes to move forward with the academic level change, the request will be reviewed by a committee. Approval is not guaranteed and is based on seat availability in the requested course.
-
November 5, 2024: Last day to drop a course without it going on the student’s transcript as a Withdrawal Pass (WP) or a Withdrawal Fail (WF). This is an FCPS regulation.
-
February 28, 2025: No schedule changes will be permitted after this time.
All 2-year/4-year college/universities and Military Academies need your Official Transcript as part of the application.
Part One: All seniors must have the Consent to Share Transcript to Colleges on file in order for us to send your transcripts to 2-year/4-year college/universities, Military Academies, and Scholarships. If you've already signed the form, no need to sign again. Please return completed forms to Ms. Bond in Student Services.
Part Two: You must submit an Official Transcript Request for EACH college/university and indicate whether we need to upload the transcript to a college portal, Common Application, Coalition Application, or email/mail directly to the College Admissions Office.
Seniors who are using the Common Application must remember to add your School Counselor and Teacher to the portal in order for the School Counselor and Teacher to submit their Letter of Recommendation. PLEASE ensure that their email address is correct.
If your School Counselor and Teacher are not added to your portal, they are unable to upload any documentation to your application. This will cause you to receive emails stating that documents haven't been received.

The Health Information Form (HIF) (SS/SE-71) and the Emergency Care Information form (SS/SE-3) provide valuable information regarding student health conditions. These forms are critical in the early identification of students who may need healthcare support in the educational environment. Along with the development of Healthcare Plans (HCP) and Action Plans, the Public Health Nurses (PHNs) utilize the information contained in the HIF to develop teaching strategies for FCPS staff in order to meet the requirements of Regulation 2104 Health Services-School Health-Related Needs.
These forms are required for all students. Enrolling parents/guardians who have a SIS ParentVUE account may submit them electronically by using the Online Verification/Update packet.
For families without SIS ParentVue accounts, forms can be located on the General Registration Forms page.
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.
