All school offices are closed. In addition, all outdoor facilities such as athletic fields, courts and playgrounds are closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing recommendations.

On Thursday, April 2, the Frederick County School Board’s Instruction Committee will meet at 3:30 p.m. and the Board’s Finance Committee will meet at 4 p.m. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Frederick County Public Schools' commitment to adhering to current public health and safety recommendations such as social distancing, the meetings will be made accessible to the public via a live video stream on the FCPS Facebook page.

All families with students enrolled in FCPS are being asked to visit Parent/Student 360 to verify that their contact information is accurate. In addition, students are reminded to check their FCPS e-mail at least once each day so they don't miss any important information that may be sent to them by their school.

FCPS will soon be offering learning opportunities to all students, either through print or online resources. Families who do not have Internet access are being asked to contact each school in which they have a child enrolled to make them aware. Schools will be providing print materials to any students who need them in order to ensure all students receive the same educational opportunity. Additional details will be communicated as they become available.

Bright Futures Frederick-Winchester is seeking food and monetary donations in order to help students and families in need while schools are closed.

In his proposed FY21 budget, Superintendent David Sovine addresses enrollment growth, increased student needs, attracting and keeping high-quality teachers and staff, opening Jordan Springs Elementary School and funding preventative maintenance projects.
