Calendar for Next Year Approved
The 2022-23 school year calendar was approved at the January 27 School Board Meeting. This calendar focuses on instruction, and student and operational needs. The calendar is aligned with neighboring school districts and adds additional key observance days.
Most importantly, this calendar was developed with significant input from the FCPS community. Thank you to everyone who participated in the process through surveys, webinars, and participation in the feedback committee. This effort reflects the best effort of everyone the school calendar touches.
Important dates for planning:
First day of School: Monday, August 22
Labor Day Holidays: Friday, Sept 2 & Monday Sept 5
Winter Break: December 19 through January 2. Return on January 3

Curious to Know Where Your Child Spends Their Time Online?
FCPS has new tools to help families know more about their child’s activity on any FCPS device. These tools are provided by Lightspeed, FCPS' internet content filtering service, at no cost to families. You may sign up for a weekly Parent Report, which will provide a list of the top sites your child visited. If you want more detailed information, sign up for the Internet Use Parent portal and log in anytime to see more detail about your child’s browsing and “pause” access to the internet during non-school hours. Find out more and sign up for these services on the FCPS website.
