Spring Break

Spring Break graphic

🌷March 25-29 is spring break. April 1-2 are student holidays/professional workdays. The Clermont Main Office will be closed until April 2. Students will return to school on Wednesday, April 3. We wish our students and teachers a happy and restful Spring Break! See the complete school year calendar


Advanced Academics News

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is committed to challenging all students through talent development efforts and differentiated instruction to meet the needs of advanced learners.  

FCPS offers a continuum of advanced academic services for all students in Grades K-12. The continuum of services approach recognizes unique student needs and focuses on matching services, not labeling students. Through the continuum, students have: 

  • Multiple entry points for deeper learning opportunities in specific areas of need as they develop.  
  • A cluster group of students with similar academic needs to continue growing in their learning.  

At Clermont, we conduct school-based screening for advanced academic services (Levels II-III and Young Scholars) in May. Parents do not need to submit a Level II-III referral form in order to initiate screening because we screen all students. Please find additional information regarding the levels of AAP services offered in FCPS and the screening and identification timeline by clicking on the links below. Please email our Advanced Academics Resource Teacher, Raechel Acosta, at rbacosta@fcps.edu with any questions.
