 Tuesday, March 5
NO School for Students

The Fairfax Board of Elections requested that schools be closed on Tuesday, March 5, to accommodate the safe and efficient administration of the 2024 presidential primary election.  March 5 will be a holiday for students and a VIRTUAL School Planning Day for teachers.
As outlined in Regulation 4421, School Planning Days are directed by
school-based administrators to devote time to school improvement efforts,
such as collaboration around data, common assessments, and responsive
instruction.
Central offices and school offices will remain open. SACC will remain
open, as it is on other professional work days.
