6th Grade Promotion

FCPS has advertised that Tuesday, June 8, will be a 100% virtual day for all students so that schools may be used for voting purposes. Clermont’s virtual 6th grade promotion will be held at 2 pm on Tuesday, June 8. 6th grade families will receive the link to join from your child’s homeroom teacher as we get closer to June 8.


2020-2021 Yearbooks

2020-2021 Yearbooks have arrived!  For those attending in-person classes, your yearbook has been sent home already with your child.  If you are a virtual student and you ordered a yearbook, please come by the office Monday, May 24th between 9AM-3PM to pick up yours!  If you are not available during that time, please feel free to stop by any other school day between 10AM-2:30PM.  Unfortunately we do not have any additional yearbooks for sale this year, so we are unable to accommodate late orders. 


Calendar Reminder: FCPS Schools and Offices Closed on May 31 for Memorial Day Holiday

As a reminder, schools and offices will be closed on Monday, May 31, for the Memorial Day holiday. Students are not expected to complete asynchronous assignments that day. Classes will resume on Tuesday, June 1. See the complete 2020-21 school year calendar


All Students to be Virtual on June 8 Due to Democratic Primary Election

Tuesday, June 8, is the Democratic Primary Election. Because the Fairfax County Electoral Board and City of Fairfax Electoral Board will be using 165 school facilities as polling locations, June 8 will be a virtual synchronous  learning day (no in-person classes) for students. All Clermont students will log into classes from home by 9:00 am. 

Get more information about the primary elections.
