Wellness Tip of the Week
As we bring this school year to a close, final exams and final grades may cause some additional stress for some of our students. Please note that this year final exams will only be used to improve a student's grade. As you prepare to end the 2020-21 school year here are some tips as we approach our final week of school.
Calendar Reminder: All Students will be Virtual on June 8th due to Democratic Primary Election
Tuesday, June 8th, 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 8th will be a virtual synchronous learning day (no in-person classes) for students.
