School Supply Kit Deadline to Order is
July 31st
Don't miss the opportunity to purchase a school supply kit with the teacher-requested supplies for the upcoming school year. Kits will be delivered to the school before the start of classes.
One of the biggest perks of ordering a supply kit is the all-year instant replacement headphone guarantee. If your student’s headphones break during the year, instant replacements are available in the office. No downtime, no learning interruptions and no need to buy a new set of headphones.
Extended Deadline: July 31

Emergency Contact Information
The 2026–27 Online Verification/Update (OVU) packet will be available in ParentVUE beginning July 24. Parents can electronically update phone numbers, emergency contacts, health conditions and upload any new immunization records for your student via ParentVue. Find out more about ParentVue at this link.
If you do not have a parentvue account, please contact our Registrar here.
It is imperative that the school can reach a parent in the event of an emergency.
ParentVue Update
New ParentVUE Mobile App Launching July 28
On Tuesday, July 28, a new ParentVUE mobile app will become available in the Apple and Google app stores. This new app provides parents and caregivers with a more secure sign-in. The current “classic” app will remain active for about six months. Families must download the new app by December 2026 to ensure they have continued mobile access to their child’s school data.
In the new app, families can enroll in multi-factor authentication (MFA) for FCPS Single Sign-On. While enrollment is optional, we strongly recommend that everyone enable this security feature.
Learn more about installing the new ParentVUE app. Parents needing assistance should submit a Parent Support Request.
Free and Reduced Price Meals - Apply Now
Apply Today for Free and Reduced-Price Meals
According to the Centers for Disease Control, eating breakfast at school is associated with better attendance rates, fewer missed school days, and better test scores. Studies show that students who eat both school breakfast and lunch tend to have healthier diets than those who don't participate in school meals.
Families who qualify for free or reduced-price school meals can receive breakfast and lunch for their students at no cost or at a reduced cost. This includes more than one-third of FCPS students. Families must complete the Free and Reduced-Price Meals (FRM) application before the start of each school year. Approved applications may also qualify students for additional benefits.
The application for FRM is now available for the 2026-27 school year. Students who were approved for FRM last year are eligible for the first 30 days of school this year (or until a new application is processed). Families should reapply as soon as possible so eligible students continue to receive meals at no cost.
Access the application and view criteria and up-to-date information on the FRM webpage. Families should reach out to their schools with questions or for assistance.
