2012-2013 Back to School Virtual Packet

Welcome to the Thomas Jefferson High School for Science & Technology Virtual Back to School Packet for the  2012-2013 school year.

This page contains all of the necessary forms and important information students and families will need for the start of the school year.

As we prepare to begin another exciting school year, we are pleased to welcome back all students and staff members who are returning and extend a very warm welcome to all new members of the TJ community.  We hope you are having a relaxing summer made even more interesting with the school-wide reading assignment of This I Believe.  If you do not have a copy of this book, you can find it in local book stores or check online for a used copy of the text.

Information about bus routes and FCPS transportation will be mailed home as soon they are made available to the school by the FCPS Transportation Office. Students from outside FCPS who have transportation concerns and questions should contact their local jurisdiction’s transportation offices for specific information about how bus routes will be assigned for the coming school year.

Information about how to request a schedule change will be included when we email schedules on August 24, 2012. The Student Services staff will return on contract August 20th and will be available to respond to phone calls and emails at that time. Counselors will also be available August 29th from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM for schedule changes as well.
