The FCPS CARES Program allows parents, staff, and community members to recognize FCPS employees who go above and beyond to help others and show they care about their students, colleagues, and the community. We invite you to submit a story below to acknowledge the great work of an FCPS employee or group of employees who should receive FCPS CARES recognition.  

Please take note of the following before submitting an FCPS CARES:

• Submissions are entered through StaffConnect, the HR portal for all employee actions. Select “I want to submit a(n)” and scroll to “FCPS Cares Submission.” The report will use the word “incident,” which is a generic term for all submissions, regardless of type.
• A notification email, with the submission text included, will be sent to the recipient(s) and copied to the recipient's supervisor(s).
• All submissions will be posted to our FCPS CARES webpage and shared via other FCPS news outlets. The FCPS CARES of the Monthrecipients are posted at the top of each month's page.
• Each quarter, the Educate Fairfax Board selects a recipient from the past 2-3  FCPS CARES of the Month recognitions. The recipient will be recognized as the FCPS CARES of the Quarter . A surprise visit from Dr. Reid, accompanied by a sponsor check and a special certificate, takes place at the employee’s worksite.
• To safeguard privacy, submissions that include personal or sensitive information may be edited or not published. All entries should reflect the positive spirit of the FCPS CARES program. We reserve the right to decline comments that are unprofessional, elevate one person’s contribution by diminishing another or the division, or conflict with our community standards.
• Feel free to compose your submission using a text editor such as Microsoft Word before copying and pasting it in the StaffConnect text box.
