Crossfield Elementary school librarian Heather Baucum has gone full-on princess to welcome back kindergarteners to the school building.

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is partnering with families to ensure we keep students and staff safe and healthy as we return to school buildings for learning. Working together, we will follow recommended health guidance that focuses on student health, safety, and emotional well-being.

Online registration for the lottery is open.  Parents may register their child for the 2021-2022 school year using their FCPS SIS account credentials.  Registration for Grade 1 will be open until February 18 at 4 p.m.   Registration for Kindergarten will be open until March 11 at 4 p.m. 

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.

Report safety issues online or by text message using the Safety Tipline.  You may choose to identify yourself or remain anonymous.
