Musical Theatre and Actor's Studio students had the privilege of working with Ricky Oliver from The Hartt School this past week.
Fairfax Academy Community,
What a fantastic September we have had! Academy September highlights include seeing our incredibly talented students at both National Dance Day and the MTAS Sparkplug Showcase, kicking off our college visits (checkout our MTAS students getting a private Q&A with a staff member from The Hartt School), and getting to meet many of our Academy Ambassadors.
A reminder for students that may need to miss their Academy class for altered bell schedules at their base schools: please complete a pre-arranged absence form at least two school days before your absence. Our Academy shuttle schedule never changes. We are here to talk through any questions or schedule options should a student need assistance. Just stop by or call the Academy office!
Take a minute to checkout all the colleges we have visiting in October. If you are interested in seeing a school and are not sure how to get there, stop by our office and check in with Ms. Martin.
Thank you for being part of our community!
Mrs. Cook
There are a number of times when students need to miss their Academy class including Homecoming. Use a Pre-Arranged Absence Form to report absences in advance (doctor appointments, vacations, college visits; or base school activities such as AP/SOL testing, assemblies, meetings, or other bell schedule changes). This form requires signatures from the Academy teacher, base school attendance office, and parent/guardian. Submit this form at least two days in advance of the upcoming activity.
If you have any questions, please contact the Academy office at 703-219-2226.
Additional information about attendance can be found on our website.
On Wednesday, October 12, 2022, FCPS secondary students will be taking the SAT or PSAT. There are NO academy classes or shuttles.
