📱For Visitors/Volunteers: Raptor Safe App

For those who need to attend a meeting or event during the school day, or to volunteer in the library, cafe or classroom, we recommend downloading the Raptor Safe app to ensure a faster sign in process.

Instead of using your driver's license, scanning both sides, and taking a selfie every time you come into the school, you set up your Raptor Safe app at home.

Then when you get to school, you pull up a secure QR code, scan it, select the reason, and your badge will print out!

This will work at any FCPS school. Search your app or play store for the Raptor Safe app. See instructions on how to set it up.

Please remember:

If you are signing out a student, you need to show your ID; the Raptor app is not sufficient.

🚌Student ID Cards for Bus Riders

We are distributing student ID cards to all our students who ride the school bus or use FCPS transportation services.

Students who have student ID cards should begin tapping as they board and exit the bus. Only students who use FCPS transportation services will be provided with a student ID card at this time.

We ask for your patience! Bus drivers will begin checking in students next week and may need some extra time at each bus stop while they do this. The transportation team is working hard to minimize any potential delays.

Learn more about the bus navigation and student ID cards.

🎒😧Drop Off Table for Forgotten Items

Any forgotten items can be placed on a table outside the office. With a provided post it, label the item with:

• Student's Name
• Grade/Teacher

Finally, please email your student's teacher to let them know it has been dropped off.

Students will know right where to go to find it!

🚨Reminder: Football Game Safety/Security Update

New this year, FCPS is implementing additional safety and security measures at all varsity football games.

Now, all spectators will participate in security screenings using the same weapons detection technology introduced in our middle and high schools last school year. A standardized bag policy will also be in place to help ensure a safe, efficient entry process for everyone attending our games.

These enhancements are designed to support a safe and welcoming environment while allowing families, students, and community members to enjoy Friday night football. We encourage attendees to arrive a little earlier than usual to allow time for screening. Get more information about weapons screening at football games.
