Attendance Matters!
It is important that your child attend school daily over the next few weeks to finish the school year strong. The deans and teachers are here to support but they must be here to receive the support. We are all committed to your child's success. Please help us help them by ensuring that they attend school every day through the remainder of the school year.
Reminder: The deans have relocated to the main office. As a result, after-school support for attendance and academics will take place in conference room 1043 located in the main office. If your child has missed more than 10 days of school or needs assistance in math or English, please have them check in with Ms. Miller, the deans' administrative assistant, in the attendance office located inside the main office.
We will continue to provide support on Wednesdays from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM until May 21st. Please note that May 21st is the last day for students to make up for lost time and missed assignments with the deans.
If you have questions, email us at FCDeans@fcps.edu.

Summer Internship Program for Students
FCPS is launching a Summer Internship Program. This six-week, paid, in-person opportunity is for FCPS high school students or recent alumni enrolled in post-secondary education. This program is designed to provide valuable hands-on work experience, professional development, and project-based learning across various FCPS departments.
Interns will support professional staff in their selected department with projects and participate in weekly professional development workshops on topics such as personal finance, communication skills, resume writing, and networking. Interns will shadow staff completing mission-critical projects that prepare the division for the upcoming school year.
Learn more about this internship program, which supports FCPS’ Strategic Plan Goal 5: Leading for Tomorrow’s Innovation.

- To meet the MenACWY requirement, the vaccination must be administered at age 10 or older.
