Marching towards spring at the Academy!

Fairfax Academy Families,

We hope you had a terrific start to March and are enjoying the warmer weather and sunny days. It was wonderful to see some of our students join us this past week for in-person learning. We certainly have learned a few things and are ready to have our 10th and 11th graders join us this week! If you have questions about any of the logistics for returning to the building, please do not hesitate to reach out to your student's teacher or to the Academy office. Please remind your student to breathe and that we are here to help in any way we can.

We understand that returning to in-person instruction is a big decision. As the coming months progress we wanted to make sure you know that you can change your intent between in-person and virtual. We will do our best to accommodate those requests based upon space in each class. If you wish to change your student’s intent, please email Mrs. Martin (mlmartin2@fcps.edu). (We do need notification from the parent, not the student.)

If your student is returning to the building please remember that we must have a completed Parent/Guardian Health Screening Commitment form. If you need assistance, please contact us in the Academy office and we are happy to help.

Please see below for a information about registering for an Academy course for next year and the City of Fairfax Thank an Educator Campaign.

Wishing you a wonderful week,

Andrea Cook

Thank an Educator Campaign

Thank an Educator!

We are looking to say thank you to the educators in our schools: Providence ES, Daniels Run ES, Lanier MS, Fairfax HS and Fairfax Academy for Communications and the Arts. If you or your child would like to say thank you to a current or former educator please go to our website and complete a short online form. Your thank you card can be for a specific good deed or as a way to tell an inspirational teacher, coach or administrator how much they mean to you or your child.  School staff, please feel free to thank a colleague who has been helpful or a mentor. 

All entries will be printed and delivered to the staff in our schools.

Thank you notes due March 30.


Academy Registration for 2021-2022

Friday, March 12th is the on-time deadline for academy registrations. All new and returning academy students are encouraged to get their academy registrations in by March 12th. Students will need to have their base school counselors submit their academy registrations for the 2021-22 school year if they are interested in taking an academy class next year. Note: Only base school counselors have access to the academy registration portal (students and parents do not have access) and can submit an academy registration for their students. For more information about academy registration, please go to our Fairfax Academy website.
