Mid-Semester Transcripts have been processed by FCPS IT Office and School Counselors are in the process of uploading them to Common Application, Coalition Application, college portals, and mailing them (the old-fashioned way).
Please remember that all colleges/universities send automated emails to students/parents requesting the Mid-Semester Transcript and/or stating that this has yet to be completed. These automated emails are not able to be discontinued individually. We are providing you with the information so that your student can check their Common App Dashboard, College Application portal, Naviance Student, etc to see if their Mid-Semester Transcript has been uploaded. As we are in Academic Advising and it takes time to individually upload each student's transcripts to portals, please be patient with School Counselors.
After Friday, February 14, 2025, if your student receives a specific email that is addressed to them from Admissions Representative (not the automated email with a generic message) still requesting the Mid-Semester Transcript, please check the student's Dashboards/College Portals first before contacting the School Counselor. If the student sees that the Mid-Semester Transcript has been uploaded to their portal, the student can respond to the email stating that the Mid-Semester Transcript has been uploaded on "x date".
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.
- How-to-Invite-Recommenders-on-Common-and-Coalition-Apps.pdf
- How to Add Teachers to Common Application
-
Georgetown University Application Portal
- Within the application portal, it will ask you to provide the names/email address of your School Counselor and Teachers submitting Letters of Recommendation.
- If you entered in the email correctly, Georgetown will automatically send them an email with the link on how to upload their documents.
- If you are applying to Georgetown University and you have submitted your application, please double-check with your School Counselor and Teachers they have received Georgetown's email.

The Code of Virginia, 22.1-273.2 requires schools provide, on an annual basis, parents/guardians educational information regarding eating disorders for students in grades five through twelve.
According to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA 2023), Eating disorders are serious but treatable mental and physical illnesses that can affect people of all genders, ages, races, religions, ethnicities, sexual orientations, body shapes, and weights. In the United States, 28.8 million Americans will suffer from an eating disorder at some point in their lives. There is no single cause of an eating disorder. Rather, it is a complex combination of biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors that converge and set off an individual’s predisposed genetic vulnerability.
In collaboration with the Fairfax County Health Department, FCPS has developed a web page with detailed information and resources to be provided to parents and guardians of Fairfax County Public Schools. This information may be found at Eating Disorders.
Sponsored by Fairfax County Department of Family Services. Virtual Parent Cafés are a great way for parents to learn from each other as they grow in their parenting skills.

This panel of young adults will share their experiences navigating social media as teenagers.

Fairfax County parents or guardians and their teens are welcome join us for this interactive online panel discussion through MS Teams at https://bit.ly/4hBnRli.
