Love riding your bike? Celebrate Bike and Roll to School Day and join students, families, and teachers across the country in biking to school together! This national event promotes healthy habits, encourages walking and biking, and helps reduce car traffic.
While it’s a one-day event, Bike and Roll to School Day inspires long-term change by showing communities the benefits of safer, active school commutes. Mark your calendars and join your neighbors on Wednesday, May 6. Ride together, make a difference, and show your community the power of active travel!
We are in need of hallway monitors to ensure a quiet work environment and keep an extra eye on students taking breaks. Please sign up below if you are available to support us from 9-12 during one or more of our testing dates.

Reach out to Alex Dilldine, adilldine@fcps.edu, if you have any questions.
Students will be participating in spring assessments based on their grade level and courses. This includes summative assessments like Standards of Learning (SOL) tests, which measure what a student knows, and progress assessments like Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) tests, which measure where they are in their learning.
FCPS encourages all families to support their students in taking these tests. Virginia requires schools to test at least 95% of students on SOLs, so when families choose not to participate in testing, it can impact a school’s accreditation, accountability ratings, and ability to measure student progress accurately.
Parents and caregivers can help their children perform their best on these tests by reminding them to get a good night’s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and the cell phone policy still applies during testing season.
It is important that students attend school on scheduled testing dates. If you are aware of a conflict that may cause your student to miss a test, please notify us as soon as possible.
Learn more about how to support your child and why test participation matters.
