Fairfax County Park Authority is proud to announce our adoption of ePACT Network for better safety! ePACT is a secure emergency network, that we will use to collect medical and emergency contact information electronically. Not only will ePACT replace paper forms, but it will also ensure we have a way to communicate with you in the event of an unexpected situation.
Please note that you must register for preschool before receiving a link to fill out forms electronically. If you have already submitted paper forms for the 2025–2026 school year, you will need to complete the ePACT forms so that all records are in our new system. Learn more about ePACT in the FAQs below.
All forms are specific to the program so if you are enrolled in different program types, you may be prompted to complete different forms.
