Technology@Home

Technology@Home enables FCPS students and staff members to purchase technology products for home use directly from vendors at discount rates. It includes computers, software, and other technology products.

• All offerings are managed by the vendors and questions should be directed to the vendor. We recommend reviewing technical requirements, available on vendor websites, prior to making purchases.
• FCPS is unable to make product suggestions, answer questions about purchases, or to provide product support.
• Most vendors allow one purchase annually per employee, or student, and require verification of affiliation with FCPS.
