Our school told us that there was an FCPS change and teachers would be posted in SIS. This is the first year they aren't posting lists on the website. The kids are more interested to see who is in their classes but they will need to wait until the open house this year.

What made you think this was a private school being referenced?

I have been teaching 25 years and we have always been told lists couldn't be posted. Safety and Security.

Some FCPS do this. I know that Dogwood in Reston did at one point (not sure if they still do).

When does FCPS mail classroom/teacher placement letters?
