How to Receive FCPS Messages in Your Own Language
You may wish to read FCPS messages in a language other than English. There are several ways you can receive or view our communications in a different language.
eNotify Messages
eNotify messages are the most urgent and critical messages FCPS sends. They cover topics such as bad weather, safety concerns, schedule changes, and other time-sensitive information. Every parent/guardian is automatically set up to receive eNotify messages. To indicate a language preference other than English for your communications via eNotify, please contact your school’s front office. Find contact information for your local school in the Schools and Centers Directory.
Weekly Newsletter
FCPS This Week is a weekly newsletter for parents/guardians and community members. FCPS This Week is also distributed in other languages to parents/guardians who have filled out the Home Language Survey form and selected a language supported by FCPS as their preferred language for communication. Home Language Survey forms are available in the following languages: Amharic | Arabic (العربية) | Chinese (中文) | Farsi (فارسی) | Korean (한국어) | Spanish (español) | Urdu (اردو) | Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt)
