In alignment with Goal 4 of our Strategic Plan, this spring, parents/guardians will be able to review and acknowledge their child’s course requests for SY 2026-27 by using a new feature in SIS Parent VUE. Student course selection will end on Friday, March 13, 2026. The window for parents/guardians to review and acknowledge their child’s course requests via this new feature will open on Monday, March 16, 2026, and will close on Friday, March 27, 2026.
Schools are asked to share this information with their families using the draft communications that will be provided in the March 12, 2026, Principal’s Toolkit. Each school is asked to send messaging via e-notify, talking points to rising and current middle and high school families that have just completed the Academic Advising/Course Selection process.
Additionally, a resource guide and counselor instructions will be available for school counseling professionals on the School Counseling ATLAS site.

In Fairfax County Public Schools, any student driving parking their car in a student parking spot is required to have a parking permit. All parking permits were issued over the summer for the 52 student spots.
Unfortunately, some students are coming into the parking lot and taking staff spots. Vehicles seen without a parking permit will be ticketed per FCPS guidelines. The first ticket is a $25.00 fine, second is $50.00, third is $75.00 and fourth is $100.00. All fines are entered in MySchoolBucks for payment.
We have had to be more vigilant with ticketing as there have been days when staff did not have enough parking spaces. Students are able to park on the road in spaces without a number.

It was a great experience. Dr. Rolon, Mr. Harvey, and Ms. Futato attended as members of our SEL team along with students Hiwot Mesfin, Edgardo Sorto Carcamo, Kate Shank, Shelly Morales Cerino, and Madai Montano Rosas.

Rooted in Resilience, Echoes of Excellence: FCPS’ Second Annual Black History Month Celebration
The spirit of heritage and the promise of the future filled the air at Carter G. Woodson High School as FCPS held its second annual Black History Month Celebration with the theme, Rooted in Resilience: Echoes of Excellence. This year’s event was especially significant as it coincided with the 100th anniversary of the movement that became Black History Month.
Students from across the division took center stage as the true "echoes" of this excellence. The program featured student-led Moments of Pride that connected local and national history to contemporary achievements. Vernon Walton, senior pastor at the First Baptist Church of Vienna, delivered a spirited keynote speech. Another highlight of the night was the FCPS Black Excellence video tribute.

Keeping Children Safe Online
The Fairfax County Police Department shares these resources to help keep children safe online.
What Families Can Do to Fight Drug Misuse
FCPS is committed to raising awareness about the opioid epidemic with our educators, parents/caregivers, and students. Together, we can help ensure our students thrive.
What can families do?
- Show you disapprove of underage drinking and other drug misuse. More than 80% of young people ages 10-18 say their parents are the leading influence on their decision whether to drink.
- Show you care about your child’s health, wellness, and success.
- Show you are a good source of information about alcohol and other drugs. Find helpful resources on the FCPS Opioid Awareness webpage.
- Pay attention to your child and discourage risky behaviors.
- Build your child’s skills and strategies for avoiding drinking and drug use. Talk with your child about what they would do if faced with a decision about alcohol and drugs, such as texting a code word to a family member or practicing how they will say, “No thanks.”
Get more information on opioid awareness.
Varsity Tutors Provides On-Demand Support at No Cost
Every student can take advantage of Varsity Tutors’ services at no cost, including weekly live online classes; on-demand 24/7 chat tutoring; essay editing; and study resources such as recorded content, practice problems, and diagnostic tests. Learn more about online tutoring with Varsity Tutors.
No-Cost Mental Online Therapy for All High School Students
Is your student experiencing anxiety, behavior changes, or challenges with peer and family relationships? Do they seem withdrawn or uninterested in their usual hobbies?
Parents/caregivers can refer their children for free weekly therapy with a licensed therapist through Hazel Health. Visit the FCPS’ Teletherapy webpage for information about this service.
Supporting Your Child’s Mental Health
Children go through a lot of changes, and it can be hard to tell if their behavior is developmentally appropriate or if they could benefit from mental health support. It’s important to talk to your child and pay attention to their actions, especially these warning signs:
- Increased irritability, hyperactivity, energy, and/or aggressive behavior.
- Excessive sadness, hopelessness, or worries.
- Loss of appetite, or significant weight gain or loss.
- Lack of sleep or too much sleep.
- A decline in grades, school avoidance, or attendance concerns.
- Alcohol or drug use.
- Withdrawal from activities and/or friends and family.
- Thoughts of harming themselves or others.
If you notice any of these warning signs or feel your child may be experiencing a mental health challenge, help is available. Please contact your child's school counselor to discuss your concerns and identify resources. Find additional ways to support your child’s wellness.
If you or someone you care about is experiencing a mental health crisis such as thoughts of harming themselves or others, please take action right away. Call 988, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact the Sharon Bulova Center for Community Health Emergency Services at 703-573-5679.
