We are looking for 2-4 volunteers to help with Picture Day. If you are available for the full day or part of the day, please email Mrs. Gibson at lmgibson@fcps.edu. Thank you.
What to expect on picture day
- When an order is placed online, the parent/guardian will receive a camera pass via email. This can either be printed or texted to the student and brought to picture day. The photographer will photograph the printed camera pass along with the student.
- If a student is not able to print their camera pass, that is not a problem. We will match up the student to their order manually in the production process.
- A parent may order from the flyer up until 24 hours after picture day. After 24 hours, the online ordering access may close. This will allow our imaging team to "Pull" all orders submitted and match them with the students photographed.
- When pictures are returned to school, all students that purchased pictures will receive their prepaid package. Any student that was photographed but did not order a package, will receive a "Proof" (PX) of their picture that was taken on picture day.
All proof packages offer parents a second opportunity to order prints. All orders are subject to shipping and handling costs of up to $8.50 and will be shipped directly to home.

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is committed to challenging all students through talent development and differentiated instruction. A continuum of Advanced Academic Program (AAP) services is available to students in Grades K-12 and is designed to match services to each student’s unique academic needs.
Identification for Subject-Specific and Part-Time AAP services occurs throughout the school year. Full-Time AAP services have two identification cycles:
-
Fall identification: Students in grades 3-7 who have enrolled in FCPS since January may be referred by October 15, 2026.
-
Spring identification: Any FCPS student in Grades 2-7 may be referred by December 15, 2026.
FCPS uses ability testing as one consideration in the holistic identification process for AAP services.
- All students in Grade 2 take the Naglieri General Ability Tests (NGAT).
- Students in Grades 3-6 who do not have a multi-domain ability test score take the NGAT.
Clermont’s AAP information meeting, led by Raechel Acosta, our Advanced Academic Resource Teacher (AART) was held on Wednesday, September 30th. You can view the recording of the meeting here. You can access the slidedeck here.
For more information, please contact Raechel Acosta, AART, at rbacosta@fcps.edu or visit the FCPS Advanced Academic Programs website.
Programas Académicos Avanzados
Las Escuelas Públicas del Condado de Fairfax (FCPS) están comprometidas a desafiar a todos los estudiantes a través del desarrollo del talento y la instrucción diferenciada. Una continuidad de servicios del Programa Académico Avanzado (AAP, por sus siglas en inglés) está disponible para los estudiantes de los grados K-12 y está diseñada para adaptar los servicios a las necesidades académicas únicas de cada estudiante.
La identificación para los servicios de AAP por materias específicas y a tiempo parcial se lleva a cabo durante todo el año escolar. Los servicios de AAP a tiempo completo tienen dos ciclos de identificación:
-
Identificación de otoño: Los estudiantes de los grados 3 a 7 que se hayan inscrito en FCPS desde enero pueden ser referidos antes del 15 de octubre de 2026.
-
Identificación de primavera: Cualquier estudiante de FCPS en los grados 2 a 7 puede ser referido antes del 15 de diciembre de 2026.
FCPS utiliza las pruebas de capacidad como una consideración dentro del proceso de identificación integral para los servicios de AAP.
- Todos los estudiantes de 2.º grado presentan las Pruebas de Capacidad General Naglieri (NGAT).
- Los estudiantes de los grados 3 a 6 que no tengan una puntuación en la prueba de capacidad multidominio presentan la prueba NGAT.
La reunión informativa del Programa de Apoyo Académico (PAA) de Clermont, dirigida por Raechel Acosta, nuestra profesora de recursos académicos avanzados (PAA), se celebró el miércoles 30 de septiembre. Puede ver la grabación de la reunión aquí.

- Celebrating the Power of School Lunches
Multiple studies show that school lunches are important in supporting overall student health by improving students’ diets and combating food insecurity. Students who eat school lunches consume more fruit, vegetables, and fiber than their peers.
This National School Lunch Week, FCPS Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) reminds families that they are dedicated to providing delicious, healthy, sustainable, and student-focused meals. New menu items have been launched this year based on student feedback.
Want to know what’s for breakfast or lunch? View the Nutrition Services menus.
Celebrando el poder de los almuerzos escolares
Múltiples estudios demuestran que los almuerzos escolares son importantes para apoyar la salud general de los estudiantes al mejorar sus dietas y combatir la inseguridad alimentaria. Los estudiantes que comen almuerzos escolares consumen más frutas, vegetales, y fibra que sus compañeros.
Esta Semana de Almuerzo Escolar, los Servicios de Alimentos y Nutrición (FNS) de FCPS les recuerda a las familias que están dedicados a proveer comidas sabrosas, saludables, sostenibles y enfocadas en los estudiantes. Nuevos artículos de menú han sido lanzados este año basado en la retroalimentación de los estudiantes.
¿Quieres saber lo que hay para el desayuno o el almuerzo? Los Servicios de Nutrición tienen menús disponibles.
- Immunization Events for FCPS Students
FCPS, in partnership with Inspire Health Alliance, will be providing school-required immunizations and optional flu shots for all FCPS students, ages 18 and under, with no out-of-pocket costs. Multiple events will take place at designated FCPS locations.
Additional dates will be made available throughout the school year. Parents or guardians may view upcoming events and schedule an appointment for their student. Participation is voluntary. Additional immunization resources are available.
Eventos de vacunación para estudiantes de FCPS

- Share Your Feedback on Traveling to and From School
The FCPS Office of Safety and Security and Safe Routes to School program are asking families to share their experiences traveling to and from their child’s school. The feedback will help inform the Fairfax County School Board’s annual assessment of traffic and pedestrian safety near schools.
The Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Survey asks about walking and biking routes, traffic near schools, kiss-and-ride experiences, accessibility, and other safety concerns.
Your feedback will help FCPS identify common issues. Your responses will be kept confidential and shared with school administrators and the Office of Safety and Security. The five-minute survey is open through Thursday, October 15.
Be sure to identify the school related to your feedback and include specific locations where you have observed a safety issue. If you have students at different schools in FCPS, please complete a different survey for each school.
If you have any questions about the survey, please contact SafeRoutestoSchool@fcps.edu.

La Oficina de Seguridad y Protección de FCPS y el programa Safe Routes to School (Rutas Seguras a la Escuela) invitan a las familias a compartir sus experiencias al trasladarse hacia y desde la escuela de sus estudiantes.

La Encuesta sobre Seguridad Vial y Peatonal incluye preguntas sobre las rutas para caminar y andar en bicicleta, el tráfico cerca de las escuelas, las experiencias en las áreas de kiss-and-ride, la accesibilidad y otras inquietudes relacionadas con la seguridad.
