SmartWatchesParents and guardians, please help us by encouraging your child to not access smartwatches to converse during instructional time. This is becoming a growing issue throughout our school. Please leave a message at the office if you need to contact your child for an emergency. We will get the message to them. During SOL's smartwatches will be removed and students will reclaim them after the test. It is suggested that students leave their watches at home. Thank you for your support.

Required Immunizations for Rising 7th and 12th GradersImmunizations are required for all students entering 7th and 12th grades this fall. Visit the FCPS immunization webpage to learn about the required vaccines. Caregivers should ask their private healthcare provider or the health department to review their student's immunization record to ensure that their student has received these required immunizations.
