Congrats to Cappies Winner Logan Baker! Best Comedic Actor in a Male Role in a Play
 June 9, 2022
Dear Fairfax Families,
Schools out for summer!
While finding myself in the role of acting principal for the 2021-2022 school was a bit unexpected, I am nevertheless incredibly grateful to have been able to lead this amazing community of students, staff, and parents. I want to thank you for your support, patience, and kind words throughout the school year! I very much appreciated it! On Monday, June 11, I will return to my position as an assistant principal and Ms. Georgina Aye will become Fairfax High School’s new principal!
I wish you all the very best for the summer. May it be a safe, healthy, and happy one and whatever your plans are, may they be most enjoyable!
Best regards,
Maureen
P.S. Please see below for announcements, information and celebrations.
Cappies: On Monday, June 6th, the FX Players attended the Cappies at the Kennedy Center. The Cappies are a DC area high school theatre award event, much like the Tony Awards (but for high school). The FX Players were nominated for 6 awards, including a nomination for best play. Every school that is nominated for best play is invited to perform a scene at the event. Logan Baker won best comedic actor in a male role in a play.

Details about how students can access Tutor.com through archived courses in Schoology are provided in Summer Access at Tutor.com - Online Tutoring Services. Students enrolled in summer Credit Recovery Academy, Online Campus, Online Economics and Personal Finance, and TJHSST summer courses will be able to access Tutor.com via their active summer course in Schoology.
Best,

All changes must be submitted in writing no later than June 10 to the school counselor. Only changes that will be accepted once schedules are released in August will be due to course work completed in the summer school course or for the following reasons:

Complete Your Free and Reduced-Price Meal Applications This Summer
 For the past two years, the federal government has provided no-cost meals to all public school students without the need to complete the annual Free and Reduced-Price Meal application. The extension of the no-cost meals benefit to all students is expected to expire at the end of this school year, meaning families must submit an application and be approved to be eligible for free and reduced price meals for the 2022-23 school year.
Interested families are encouraged to submit the Free and Reduced-Price Meal application before the first day of the 2022-23 school year. The online application will be available later this summer and accessible via the FCPS homepage.
Students approved for Free and Reduced-Price Meals may qualify for additional benefits such as waived or reduced fees for instruments, uniforms, field trips, FCPS class fees, and Parktakes classes

Lost & Found
Please check the Lost & Found area in the front office for any items that students may have lost or misplaced during the school year. Anything not picked up will be donated to charity.

Looking toward next year - Parent Expertise Needed!
The FHS Computer Science teachers and officers of the CS honor society are striving to promote opportunity and enthusiasm for computer science. They are looking to organize a hackathon for FHS next year and hope to work with a company that either sponsors or hosts such events, or find a parent that has any knowledge or experience running a hackathon. If you can help, please contact Mrs. Cruley at rdcruley@fcps.edu.
Good Luck, Track Team!
