FCPS ensures that students who are struggling academically receive the support they need to succeed. FCPS Policy 326P, Instruction - Remedial Instruction outlines processes designed to help students who are at risk of falling behind, including those who do not pass key state assessments or fail to meet graduation requirements. Such support processes and programs focus on prevention, intervention, and remediation to help students improve their skills and catch up with their peers.
When a student struggles with assessments in grades three through eight or in high school, they may be required to attend a remediation program, such as summer school, or other specialized programs. These programs are designed to provide extra help without any cost to the parents. The goal is to help students succeed academically and be prepared for the next grade or to earn the credits they need for graduation.
Parents are encouraged to support their students’ participation in these programs if needed, and to be involved in the process. Schools work with parents to choose the best options for their child’s needs.
