Important Safety Reminder
Kiss and Ride Dropoff/Pickup
When picking up or dropping off, it is important to adhere to the traffic pattern laid out below. In addition, please do not park in any spot on campus during arrival and dismissal if you are dropping off or picking up.
It is important that you do not drop off your student on Marc Drive because it causes safety issues and impacts traffic flow.
We Are a Phone-Free School!
Thank you for helping to support the FCPS cell phone policy by waiting to call or text your child about non-urgent matters until the school day is over. In case of an emergency, it is always best to contact our school’s front office (703-207-4000) to reach your child during class time.
Visit the FCPS Cell Phone Policy webpage to read more about usage policies by grade level and to share your feedback on the current cell phone policy.
