  • 6/11 - Last day of school

Attendance Matters!

Attendance drives everything! It is tied to almost every aspect of school performance and future outcomes.

What to Say to Your Children:

  • Skipping school may sound fun, but it can have serious consequences, including jail time, fines, or even the loss of your driver’s license.
  • If you’re having trouble getting to school – issues with transportation, bullies, etc. – tell someone, such as a guidance counselor or your parents. Many schools offer services for the whole family to help.

It’s important to communicate these and other needs to our Dean, SOSA, administrators, counselors, & clinicians.

Face Masks Are Required at All Times at All FCPS Sites, Indoors and Outdoors

Despite the recent change in guidelines from the CDC on wearing face masks outdoors, Fairfax County Public Schools is still requiring that face masks are worn by spectators at all sporting events.

Please make sure you have one with you when entering FCPS facilities. Universal masking is the best way to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all spectators.

Please Note: Face masks are not required for athletes when engaged in competition.
