Weapons Screening at Football Games
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is taking additional steps this year to help ensure that our athletic events remain safe for students, families, staff, and community members by introducing security screenings of all spectators at our varsity football games.
We will be using the existing weapons screening systems that our students pass through every morning in our schools. In addition, we will be implementing a standardized bag policy to help support a smooth and efficient entry process. Students, family members, and all spectators are reminded that the following items are prohibited:
- Backpacks
- Purse
- Fanny pack
- Tote bags
- Outside food and beverage (water bottles included)
- Sporting equipment (balls, bats, sticks, etc.)
- Any item prohibited by FCPS policy, or determined by event staff to present safety concerns
Approved bags are limited to:
- Clear plastic, vinyl, or pvc bags no larger than 12”6”x12”
- Small clutch bag no larger than 4.5” x 6.5”
- Medical and diaper bags permitted but subject to inspection
As a reminder, middle-school students and younger, must be accompanied by a responsible adult who remains with the student(s) at the event.

Activities Registration Site
We are very excited to announce that Fairfax County Public Schools has partnered with FinalForms, an online forms and data management service. FinalForms allows you to complete and sign athletic forms for your students. FCPS and FinalForms have worked to ensure we safeguard your most sensitive information. FinalForms meets all of FCPS’ rigorous data protection requirements and will be a tremendous new partner.
The most exciting news is that FinalForms saves data year-to-year, meaning that you will never need to enter the same information twice! FinalForms will also pre-populate information wherever possible, for each of your students, saving you time. You may review your data at any time to verify it is current. You will be required to sign your forms once per year and after any update.
All parents with students registered in grades 9-12 will receive a confirmation email from FinalForms. These emails will be delivered to the email address associated with the enrolling parent. Please check your spam/junk folder and if the FinalForms email landed there please “mark as safe” emails from FinalForms and add them to your “contacts”. Your school, and the Office of Student Activities and Athletics, will use FinalForms to communicate directly with the enrolling parent quite regularly throughout the school year.
After you receive the initial email from FinalForms, click on the Parent Playbook (attached) to get started in FinalForms. If you require any support during the process, scroll to the page bottom-right and click “Get Help”.

  New Physical Process
Legislation introduced in the Virginia General Assembly and recently signed into law will result in two significant changes to the athletic pre-participation examination (physical) requirements for FCPS student-athletes:
- Beginning July 1, 2025, athletic physicals will be considered valid for a period of 14 months from the date the form is signed by the medical provider completing the exam. This is the date on page 3 of the VHSL Athletic Participation/Parent Consent/Physical Examination Form (revised January 2021).
- Beginning May 1, 2025, FCPS student-athletes are EXPECTED to have athletic physicals completed on the new VHSL Athletic Participation/Parental Consent/Evaluation Form (revised April 2025)
- The new form has been updated on the https://mcleanathletics.org/required-participation-forms/ website
