All families with students enrolled in FCPS are being asked to visit Parent/Student 360 to verify that their contact information is accurate. In addition, students are reminded to check their FCPS e-mail at least once each day so they don't miss any important information that may be sent to them by their school.

FCPS will soon be offering learning opportunities to all students, either through print or online resources. Families who do not have Internet access are being asked to contact each school in which they have a child enrolled to make them aware. Schools will be providing print materials to any students who need them in order to ensure all students receive the same educational opportunity. Additional details will be communicated as they become available.
