We want to wish all of our families a restful and relaxing spring break! We have encouraged our staff to take the time to recharge and unplug as they spend time with their family and friends. Staff will respond to emails upon their return to the building on Monday, April 10th.
April is the Month of the Military Child! Every year we take the opportunity to recognize military-connected youth for their service and contribution to our community. Fairfax County Public Schools is proud to have over 14,000 military-connected youth as a part of our student body. We appreciate the varied life experiences they bring to our school community, and recognize their strength and resilience. Learn more about Month of the Military Child and FCPS’ resources for military families.
