Parent Technology Help Desk

To support families who are working with their children during distant learning, Fairfax County Public Schools now has a Parent Technology Help Desk. The number is 1-833-921-3277 (833-921-FCPS). It will be answered by staff 7am to 11pm, seven days a week. If the help desk is unable to solve the issue on the phone with the parent or guardian, they will enter a ticket on the parent's behalf and the request for help will be transferred to the appropriate FCPS team.

Stop the Spread

Your actions keep all of us healthy, and we need to keep it up, working together to help slow the spread of COVID-19. There are some simple steps you can take to protect yourself and your family. Testing, contact tracing, and staying home and away from others when sick or after contact with someone who is sick, are critical to help prevent COVID-19 from spreading further in our community.

Dual Language Immersion Informational Meetings

Online registration for the county-wide lottery for Dual Language Immersion (DLI) programs for the 2021-22 school year will open on Monday, January 25. Current pre-K students may apply for the kindergarten program and current kindergarten students may apply for the first grade programs. The kindergarten programs are available in Korean (Powell) and Spanish (Bailey’s Primary, Fort Hunt, Lake Anne, Laurel Ridge, London Towne, Rose Hill Elementary Schools). First grade programs in French, German, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish are available at 12 schools.

FCPS Hiring Classroom Monitors

FCPS is seeking individuals to serve as classroom monitors. Classroom monitors provide in-person classroom assistance for students when a staff member remains virtual. Candidates who are interested in a position or would like more information can review the job description and qualifications and apply online.

In-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.
