Vision & Hearing Screening

ALL 10TH GRADERSSTUDENTS NEW TO FCPS

Screening identifies students who need further evaluation due to difficulty seeing the chart or hearing the tones. If your child wears glasses, make sure they are at school on screening day. Parents are notified by letter if follow-up with your health care provider is recommended, since vision and hearing difficulties can interfere with learning.

PSAT / SAT School Day

GRADES 10-12 TESTMOST 9TH GRADERS OFF

FCPS is administering the PSAT/NMSQT and SAT School Day. Staff will support testing for grades 10-12, so most ninth graders have an unscheduled day and do not attend; they are encouraged to complete missing work before the end of the first quarter. Ninth graders on an adapted curriculum still receive in-person instruction with a 2-hour early release. Questions: Assessment Coach Elly Donlen, ekdonlen@fcps.edu.
