Make sure excuse notes are returned with three days of your students return to school. 2. Refer your student for mental health services if that is affecting their attendance: Counseling Consent Form 3. Help your student create healthy habits with regards to diet, sleep, and exercise. 4. Schedule appointments on days in which school is not in session. Here is the FCPS calendar. | Academic Growth As we near the end of the semester, please make sure you are having conversations with your student about their grades. We are entering our final six weeks of the semester and it is important that students focus and finish strong.
