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.

COVID-19  has  impacted  Virginia' s  families and our youngest learners. If you are a Virginia parent or guardian of a young child, birth through kindergarten, we want to hear about your child' s early care and education experiences  during  COVID-19.

COVID-19 ha sido un desafío para las familias de niños pequeños en Virginia. Le invitamos a realizar una breve encuesta sobre el cuidado y/o la educación de su hijo más pequeño durante este tiempo desafiante.

Return to School Forms for Parents

Some of the digital resources your child may use this year require parental consent.

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.

To support families who are working with their children during distance 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 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., 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.
