After School Program Registration Form

We want to make sure all South County Middle School students have the opportunity to participate in our After School Program.  Every student who participates in our Virtual After School Program must have a registration form on file. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me, Chris Woodby at cwwoodby@fcps.edu.

Picture Day - December 7th

SCMS students can sign up to have their school picture taken on Monday, December 7th. Please arrive as close to your assigned time as possible. Parents will need to stay in the parking lot while students wait in line to get their picture taken – the line may be outside, so please dress appropriately. Remember to stay 6 ft apart while in line and masks are required.

Holiday Gift Card Drive

The Student Services Department will be collecting gift cards for holiday assistance to support families in need within the South County Middle School community. Drop off your gift cards in the main office (7:00 AM – 3:00 PM) between December 1st through December 16th.

National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) Food Drive Monday, December 7th

The South County Middle School Chapter of the NJHS is sponsoring a Packaged Food Drive on Monday, December 7 during Picture Day at SCMS. You can drop off food between 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM. Please contact Ms. Sall (slsall@fcps.edu) or Ms. Ziegler (cmziegler@fcps.edu) with any questions.

COVID-19 Health Metrics

In making determinations regarding in-person instruction, FCPS will consider the Centers for Disease Control Core Indicators. View the data.

In-School Instruction – Form Needed

Parents/guardians who chose in-school instruction for their child will receive a health screening commitment form where you will agree to completing a daily health screening prior to sending your student to school. Forms must be received at school electronically or by hard copy before your child returns to in-school instruction.  Students whose parent/guardian have not returned a signed form will be required to complete a health screening and have their temperature taken daily by school staff until the form is received.

No-Cost Meals for All FCPS Students through June 30, 2021

Grab and Go service hours are 8 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Monday through Friday (excluding holidays). Bus routes for food distribution are operating Monday through Friday. Breakfast and lunch will be available at no-cost Monday-Friday at all schools with in-person instruction.  Specific information about meal distribution locations and bus distribution schedules are available.  

Parent Technology Help Desk

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.

Safety Tipline

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