Beginning the  2020-2021 school year, FCPS will offer every student access to a computer for learning. As part of our initiative to provide equitable access to relevant and enriching activities, Carson will leverage the 1:1 devices to prepare students with 21st century skills and the development of Portrait of a Graduate attributes including communication, collaboration, and critical thinking.

FCPSOn Device Expectations:

• Students are responsible for their device and will receive the same laptop each school year

• All students will participate in regular “health checks” to ensure their machines stay up-to-date
