At Arrival and Dismissal, we ask our students to use the crosswalk to help with pedestrian safety. If you are using the Kiss and Ride lanes in the morning, please do not drop off your student(s) until you reach the crosswalk.
If you need a minute or two to drop off in the morning, please pull past the crosswalk and turn on your hazard lights.
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe!
Please join us at our annual Senior Parent College Night from 6-8pm on Thursday, September 24 in the Little Theatre. We will presenting on college timelines, transcript requests, senior packet as well as an opportunity to hear directly from a variety of college admissions representatives. We will be having Financial Aid Workshops later in the Fall.
Our first Saturday School of the year is happening Saturday, September 19, from 9:00 AM–12:00 PM! Saturday School is a great opportunity for students to receive additional academic support, catch up on assignments, and stay on track. Teachers will be available to provide support in any English, History, Math, and Science content areas. Students can also recover attendance through Saturday School. If students have missed school for any reason, attending can help make up missed instructional time. We encourage all families to take advantage of this opportunity to help students address academic needs early and remain on track for a successful school year.
September is Attendance Awareness Month. Some of the ways parents can help their children create healthy routines and a habit of getting to school on time every day include:
- Setting a regular bedtime and morning routine. (Need help? Download this checklist in English or Spanish.)
- Laying out clothes and packing backpacks the night before.
- Talking to teachers, school counselors, or other parents for advice on how to make your child feel comfortable and excited about learning, if they seem anxious about going to school.
- Developing back-up plans for getting to school if something comes up. Call on a family member, a neighbor, or another parent.
- Avoiding medical appointments or extended trips when school is in session.
If you or your family need any kind of support, please reach out to our front office. We are here for you! Visit FCPS’ Attendance webpage for tips and strategies.

The FCPS Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R) booklet explains expectations for student behavior and adult responses to enhance school safety and to create a fair, equitable, and supportive school environment. This year’s SR&R includes new Universal Grade Matrices, which are at-a-glance charts that make it easier for families to see behavior expectations and school responses for grades K-3, 4-8, and 9-12.
Families, please review the SR&R and discuss these expectations with your child. Be sure to sign the SR&R acknowledgement form by Wednesday, September 30, either by logging into SIS ParentVUE or signing and returning the Signature Sheet to your child’s school.
Learn more by watching a short video about the SR&R (available in English and Spanish) or visiting the SR&R webpage.
Justice High School will host Quarter 1 Parent University: “Building Your Digital Toolbox: A Night to Build a Shared Vision” on Thursday, October 1, 2026, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the Justice High School cafeteria.
Families will learn how to use important FCPS digital tools to support student success, including ParentVUE for monitoring grades, attendance, and updates; TalkingPoints for communicating with teachers in a preferred language; Naviance for exploring college and career opportunities; and other online resources. All families are welcome. Spanish translation will be provided, and raffle drawings will be held.
As we look ahead to the upcoming school year, the health and well-being of our students continues to be one of our priorities. Staying up to date with your child's flu vaccination helps:
- Reduce School Absences: Keeping students healthy means more time spent learning and engaging with peers.
- Protect the Community: Vaccination helps shield vulnerable family members and neighbors from seasonal illness.
- Support Overall Wellness: Routine flu shots are a key component of a proactive student health plan.
Upcoming Flu Shot Events
FCPS, in partnership with Inspire Health Alliance, will provide flu shots for all FCPS students, ages 18 and under, at no out-of-pocket cost. 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.
SAT School Day and PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT) exams will be held at each high school on Wednesday, October 7, at no cost to families. The digital SAT School Day exam is offered to 12th grade students, and the digital PSAT/NMSQT exam is provided to 10th and 11th grade students.
Unscheduled Day for 9th Grade Students
Because of the testing, most 9th grade students will not have school on October 7. Students are encouraged to complete any missing work or assignments that need to be completed prior to the end of the first quarter.
Ninth grade students with disabilities who receive low incidence special education services will still receive in-person instruction with a two-hour early release on October 7.
Contact the Student Services team at your child’s school with any questions. Learn more about SAT and PSAT assessments in FCPS.
