AP Testing:
Please review very important updated information about the next two weeks of AP Testing at our AP Testing Information Page.
Academic Advising:
Academic Advising has now concluded for the 2025-2026 school year. Please review your student’s course requests for next school year to ensure accuracy and appropriate placement. Students’ course requests are based on the successful completion of this year’s course work. It is important to consider all of the student’s academic, co-curricular and extra curricular commitments to ensure a balanced and manageable schedule for each student. Students are expected to remain in and complete all courses they have selected.
FCPS and Madison staffing and budgets are much tighter than they have been in previous years. This results in students not having the flexibility that they have had previously when requesting schedule changes. Students will be required to work through an intervention plan prior to any level changes being considered. This may include commitment to Warhawk Time, before and/or after school assistance.
Due to the limited opportunity to make schedule changes, we have adapted a new schedule change request policy. For the 2025-2026 school year, the following timeline will be in place for schedule change requests:
Please note there are no “level-down” options for:
