January
Reminder: Quarter End, Early Release
Thursday, January 25, is the last day of the quarter and a two-hour early release for students. Also, schools are closed for students on Friday, January 26, for a teacher work day. Progress reports will be sent home on Tuesday, February 6th.
Winter School Closings & Delays
The best way to know about any school closings or delays is to stay close to your phone or computer. FCPS sends out updates through eNotify emails and texts. You can also find alerts posted on the front page of www.fcps.edu.
If there is a 2-hour delay, Brookfield will open its doors at 9:55 am. Please do NOT drop off your child or send them to walk to school before 9:45 am. Breakfast is not served, but lunch will be.
Snow Days This Winter
For the current school year, FCPS will be returning to its previous procedure for snow days — there will be no virtual learning days when school is closed due to bad weather.
During snow days, students may still access Tutor.com, complete any supplemental learning opportunities recommended by their teachers, and view educational programming (available virtually and on public access television channels):
Eleven snow days are built into the existing FCPS calendar. Eliminating virtual learning days will allow us to maximize students’ in-person learning and provide equitable access to instruction and student services.

Third grade went on a field trip to the Air and Space Museum. Above, Ms. Canavan's class poses for a picture. Below, can you spot the same students hidden in the photo of the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird?
What Families Can Do to Fight Drug Misuse
FCPS is committed to raising awareness about the opioid epidemic with our educators, parents/caregivers, and students. Together, we can help ensure our students thrive.
What can families do?
- Show you disapprove of underage drinking and other drug misuse. More than 80% of young people ages 10-18 say their parents are the leading influence on their decision whether to drink.
- Show you care about your child’s health, wellness, and success.
- Show you are a good source of information about alcohol and other drugs. Find helpful resources on the FCPS Opioid Awareness webpage.
- Pay attention to your child and discourage risky behaviors.
- Build your child’s skills and strategies for avoiding drinking and drug use. Talk with your child about what they would do if faced with a decision about alcohol and drugs, such as texting a code word to a family member or practicing how they will say, “No thanks.”
