Students taking AP Exams at Oakton High School for our May administration will receive a blue letter on March 19 detailing their upcoming AP Exam registrations. This included the date and time of each exam as well as an opportunity to be excused from classes the rest of the day; this means students testing in the afternoon would be able to come in late for the exam and students testing in the morning could leave after testing, assuming that they have their own transportation.
Please have students return these forms to the attendance office by Thursday, April 9th. If students require an additional form or did not receive one, they can email Mrs. Stewart, our AP Coordinator, at kastewart@fcps.edu. Please have them see their first block teacher prior to emailing to request a new form. They will get an email when the form is ready to be picked up in the main office.

Tutoring Resources for Families
Some families may be looking for additional resources to help support their child’s academic success. The FCPS Family Resource Center (FRC) maintains a list of FCPS employees who hold a valid Virginia teaching credential and who are available to hire as tutors. This list is a resource offered by the FRC, but families are responsible for contacting and working directly with the tutors. This list is not approved by FCPS and is only meant to be a resource to families.
FCPS also partners with Varsity Tutors to provide students and families with extra resources for learning. 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.
