Information about student and school login information is also listed below.
Login Information
Students log on to most of these resources using their FCPS network username (Student ID#) and password. Students are practicing these logins in tech lab classes and with their homeroom teachers. Individual account information cannot be shared over the internet, but a document with your child's username and password will be shared with you at fall conferences or sent home in late October. Please keep this information in a safe place and do not share your child's student ID number with others to protect their account privacy.
Students' email accounts for Google Apps are StudentID#@fcpsschools.net extension (ex. 1234567@fcpsschools.net).
