From your Academy Administrator

Fairfax Academy Friends and Family,

We hope everyone enjoyed spring break and that 4th quarter is off to a great start! We are getting close to the end of the school year. There are a ton of performance and celebrations (see details below) and there are a lot of activities and tests for all of our students. Please take a few minutes to review the reminders below to support your students have a successfully closing to their Academy class.

  • Pre-Arranged Absences: With the end of year testing at base schools, we ask that all students complete a pre-arranged absence form before they are absent and to discuss their absence(s) with their Academy teacher. Our pre-arranged form can be found on our website and is also available in all classrooms and the Academy office. (https://fairfaxacademy.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/inline-files/Pre-Arranged%20Absence%20Form%2023-24.docx%20%281%29.pdf)
  • Last Day of Academy shuttles: The last day for Academy shuttles is June 5th. All 9th-11th grader students are expected to attend until that date. (Please note that there are no academy classes on June 4th due to Fairfax High School’s graduation.)
  • Last Day of Academy Classes for Seniors: All seniors are expected to attend their Academy class until their final exams begin at their base school. Seniors should notify their teach of their exam schedule and notify the Academy office of their last day.
  • Senior Internships: All Academy students participating in a senior internship must submit a pre-arranged absence form with a copy of the internship paperwork attached. All end of year assessments and projects must be completed.

If you have any questions, please call the Academy office or email us and we are happy to answer any questions you may have!

In partnership,

Mrs. Cook
