From your Academy Administrator

Fairfax Academy Friends and Family,

We have certainly had a quick 3rd quarter and we know how students are looking forward to enjoying their spring break in a few days. As we gear up for the start of 4th quarter and the end of year celebrations, we have a few details to share with seniors. Please check out information below about our annual scholarship supported by Spotlight on the Arts. We also want to feature our seniors and all the exciting places they will be going next year. Check out our social media for more details.

We hope everyone enjoys some time away and we look forward to all the celebrations in the coming weeks!

In partnership,

Mrs. Cook

End of Year Attendance Reminders

Please make note of dates your student will not attend Academy during the final quarter of the year. Base schools do not always share information with Academy about field trips, testing, pep rallies, and other activities. In order to make sure each student has an opportunity to meet end of year requirements, please submit dates your student will be absent from Academy. 

Use the online attendance form or a pre-arranged absence form, both linked here

Thanks for your partnership in keeping attendance records accurate!
