Woodson now allows "walk-ins" to complete the validation process for FCPS 24/7 Parent View (Blackboard) Accounts. *This is only for parents who do not have their own FCPS 24/7 Parent View (Blackboard) Accounts yet. If you have already created an account, you are not required to create/validate a new one.

What is a FCPS 24/7 Parent View (Blackboard) Account? This account allows parents direct access to the online class sites (Blackboard) for all of their FCPS students with a single login and allows access to Keep-In-Touch (www.fcps.edu/kit/) to review and update their students’ emergency data online. We would like all parents to take advantage of this valuable tool.

Dates, Time, and Location are the following:

What: FCPS 24/7 Parent View Account Validation (You must have your registration key...see details below)

For all parent and/or guardians who want to use and access FCPS 24/7 Parent View but do not have an account yet, you will need to do the following:

1) Complete the online registration by creating an account on the FCPS 24/7 (Blackboard) website…*This step should be completed before you come to Woodson to validate your account on the dates listed above.

To create your account, please do the following:

- Using your Internet browser, go to http://fcps.blackboard.com.
- Log on the site and type the following>Username: parentreg and Password: newuser
- Under the Parent Portal Registration heading, click on "Click here".
- Fill out the online form and follow the prompts. To complete the online form, you will need your child's student ID number that can be found on your child's class schedule or report card.
- At the end of the process, you will be assigned your unique registration key, please be sure to print or write it down.

For more detailed instructions for creating the "parent view" account, locate the "Help For Parents" portion of the parent registration page. Click the appropriate link to access the "Create a Parent Account" document. To access and print directions for creating a parent account immediately, click here .

2) The second portion of the account process is the onsite validation. For the onsite validation, please come to Woodson during the times listed above (Again, it is important that the parent/guardian has already created his/her account at home before coming to Woodson to validate the account).

When you arrive at Woodson, you will need to present the following:
- A government issued photo ID (i.e. your driver's license)
- A printed or written copy of the unique registration key that was assigned after setting up your account

Important Reminders:

>Please do not send your child with the registration key! FCPS requires that the parent/guardian requesting the "parent view" account must do this in person.

>If you have no access to a computer to complete the online registration before coming to Woodson to validate the account, a computer will be available at Woodson (on the dates above) if you need to use it to create your account, however, it is strongly recommended that you create your account prior to coming to Woodson to complete the validation process. Space will be limited and it will save time if there is a crowd waiting to validate their accounts.

>If you have difficulty creating your account online, please contact the FCPS 24/7 Parent View Help Desk at 1-866-434-8880…They can provide technical assistance and support.

If you have questions about location, dates, or times for the Account Validation please contact Leslie Lewis, Phone:703-503-4741 (8:30 am-3:30 pm) & Email:Leslie.Lewis@fcps.edu.
