Whitelisting Keep in Touch (KIT) E-Mail

If you currently use an anti-spam program or service and would like to be sure that you receive your Keep in Touch messages, please add Keep in Touch to your "safe" or permitted email sender list. This usually involves simply adding our sending address (From:) to your whitelist, safelist, or list of privileged senders. This is commonly known as whitelisting.

FCPS district messages: whitelist FCPSkit@fcps.edu

KIT messages from FCPS schools: whitelist {Schoolname}{school type: ES, MS, HS}.KeepInTouch@fcps.edu

Examples:

Aldrin Elementary School : whitelist AldrinES.KeepInTouch@fcps.edu

Carson Middle School: whitelist CarsonMS.KeepInTouch@fcps.edu

Falls Church High School: whitelist FallsChurchHS.KeepInTouch@fcps.edu

If you have any questions relating to whitelisting a specific school, please contact the school directly or email Cindy Rivera.

Please refer to the following whitelisting instructions you can use to whitelist Keep in Touch, depending on the filtering solution you use:

AOL

AOL Version 9.0:

Open your latest Keep in Touch e-mail.
Click the Add Address button (on the right) to add to your "People I Know" list.

Alternatively, you can just send an e-mail to: FCPSkit@fcps.edu,
and that will add us to your "People I Know" list automatically. To do this:

Open your latest Keep in Touch e-mail.
Click the Reply button (it's in the top right corner).
A new email window opens with the wrong address in the "Send To" box.
Replace the address in the Send To box with: FCPSkit@fcps.edu
Click Send Now (in the top right corner).
Even if the e-mail you send doesn't get through to us, the act of sending
it does the job of putting us into your "People I Know" list.
