Volunteer FCPS Helps Community Members Connect With Schools
 A new volunteer management system, Volunteer FCPS, will allow students, parents/caregivers, and community members to register and search volunteer opportunities in the division.
All volunteers (new or returning) will register in Volunteer FCPS, complete a volunteer orientation, and be required to sign in using the visitor kiosk. Some volunteers will also be required to undergo a background check. Visit the Volunteer FCPS website for details.
Student Charger:
If your student still owes a charger from last year, the replacement fee of $27.55 must be paid before the school can provide a new charger with their laptop.
Unfortunately, the school cannot issue a charger until the lost charger fee has been cleared.
Please follow the instructions below to make your payment.
