In-Person At School Instruction – Form Needed

Parents/guardians who chose in-school instruction for their child will receive a health screening commitment form where you will agree to completing a daily health screening prior to sending your student to school. Forms must be received at school electronically or by hard copy before your child returns to in-school instruction.  Students whose parent/guardian have not returned a signed form will be required to complete a health screening and have their temperature taken daily by school staff until the form is received.

COVID-19 Health Metrics

In making determinations regarding in-person instruction, FCPS will consider the Centers for Disease Control Core Indicators. View the data.

Service Learning Google Site

The Service Learning Google Site for student support is now up and running. As we progress through the year, more student-focused support resources will be made available. For now, there are four x2VOL support videos to help supplement the material covered in the student x2VOL login lesson. Students are invited to check these Service Learning resources out.
