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.
Attendance Matters!
October 31st marks the end of the first quarter. Students only have three weeks to complete missing assignments and retakes to improve their grades.
- Students can stay after school on Wednesdays (transportation is available) and Thursdays (must provide their own transportation) from 3:00 - 4:30 pm to get help from their teachers or they can come to the main office to get help from the deans and NHS student tutors.
- Please encourage your child to come to school every day and to take advantage of these opportunities to get caught up and to receive academic support before the first quarter ends.
Paperless Report Cards
We’re excited to offer you a more convenient option for receiving your child’s report cards: Go Paperless!
By choosing to go paperless, you'll be able to:
-
Access report cards directly in ParentVUE with just a few clicks.
-
Reduce wait time in seeing your child’s report card.
Here's how you can opt-in:
- Log into ParentVUE, click on "My Account," and select “Go Paperless.”
- All parents/guardians living with the student at the same address must have an active SIS ParentVUE account to opt-in.
- Once selected, the “Go Paperless” option will apply to all associated students, no matter their grade level.
- If you’ve already opted for paperless for your secondary students, it will automatically apply to any younger siblings at the elementary level too!
