Students in the Biotechnology Foundations program observe milk and yogurt while proving that it is the presence of bacteria in the yogurt that causes the milk to become yogurt. Observational and reporting skills that students have learned in this class are used to discover and record their findings.
Individuals from the Fairfax County Community Emergency Response Team provided a week long training program designed specifically for high school students in which they prepared the Falls Church Academy EMT students to be disaster ready and able to provide assistance if necessary. Students learned disaster preparedness and CERT organization, disaster psychology, terrorism, medical 1 & 2, light search and rescue, utility control and fire safety. Each day students were given knowledge checks to confirm their understanding.
To learn about wound care you have to first have a wound, right? Students in the Medical Assistant classes had fun creating various simulated wounds on mannequins and then assessed them and learned how to manage their healing. Wounds were assessed for their length, depth, proliferation and inflammation and in the assessment students described them using medical terms. They also described the type of dressing or sutures the wounds needed as well as wound care and healing nutrition.
The students in the Criminal Justice Level 1 classes had the opportunity to learn and practice for the Stop the Bleed training with members of the Inova Trauma Services team by packing the wound, using pressure and tourniquet's.
As the weather begins to get colder, please be aware of the FCPS Inclement Weather Policy.
 Due to construction at Falls Church High School, parking is extremely limited this academic year. Students are greatly encouraged to take the provided shuttles to and from their base school. If students choose to drive to Falls Church Academy for class from their base school, parking passes are in very limited supply and are given on a first come/first serve basis. Students who do drive will need to park at Providence Recreation Center and walk to the high school. The Application for Use of Private Automobile will need to be completed and returned to Ms. Fields in Room 237 before parking can be approved. Falls Church Academy Student Parking Rules, Guidance, Fines and Penalties will apply.
