Guidelines for Pick/Up Drop Off:
1. ARRIVAL: Arrive at your designated time, follow staff directional FLOW OF TRAFFIC, entering via Carroll Parkway by the electronic sign.
2. LAST NAME, FIRST NAME: Please have your name printed clearly on a sign in your car window as you pull up so we can quickly identify you.
3. OPTIONAL PICTURES ON STAGE: If you would like to get your picture taken in your cap and gown on our stage, once you reach the end of the pickup/drop off line pull into the student lot and wait for a staff member to come to your car. It is important that you remain in your car until you are prompted to get out. Each student, along with no more than 4 family members, will be escorted to our stage where you can get a picture taken in your cap and gown that will be used in our virtual graduation ceremony. Upon exiting the car all students and family members must be wearing a mask and maintain proper social distancing. Parents are invited to take their own pictures if they wish. If the student would prefer to take their cap and gown picture at an alternate location, we are happy to use that picture in our ceremony. Please email all alternate location graduation pictures to Robin.Brawner@fcps.org no later than noon on May 29th so we can include that picture in our graduation ceremony.

Virtual Senior Awards
Our FHS Student Services Department has been working tirelessly to create a virtual awards ceremony that has the same spirit of our traditional senior awards ceremony. We will publish the link to our ceremony at 4pm on Thurs May 28th so everyone can access the presentation
Virtual Graduation Video -Monday June 8th at 10am
Ceremony will be posted on the FCPS YouTube channel, as well as various social media platforms. A Find-Out-First will be sent from FCPS with details
Diploma Pickup - TBD (Week of June 8th or 15th, 2020)
As of May 19, schools have not received diplomas. We hope to have them available the week of June 8 or 15, but stay tuned as we do not have a definitive date from our printer. Additional awards, certificates, cords, pins, etc.. that had not been available at the first student pick-up will be available at this time.
Yearbook Pickup
Seniors who pre-ordered a yearbook will be able to pick it up when they get their cap and gown. Seniors who would still like to purchase a yearbook can do so when they come to pick up their diploma.
Face-to-Face Social Gathering
Please access the Class of 2020 Schoology group to give your feedback on this event. As soon as we are permitted to do so, we will invite the class of 2020 back to FHS (or an alternate location of their choosing) to celebrate, sign yearbooks, and say goodbye to their peers and teachers.
