We hope to see you at our upcoming events!

Early Relase Mondays

As you may have heard, a requirement for Elementary Teachers (classroom, special education, and ESOL) from the Virginia Literacy Act includes approximately 27 hours of asynchronous training focused on the Science of Reading and evidenced-based literacy during the 2024-2025 school year. As a result, Fairfax County Public Schools has planned for 7 early release Mondays starting in September. 

Please note the dates and times for your calendars listed below. These dates only apply to elementary school-age students.

Island Creek Elementary will release school-age students at 12:20 pm on the following days:

  • September 16
  • October 21
  • November 18
  • Februray 10
  • March 10
  • April 21
  • May 12

FCPS has created a webpage to provide detailed information about the early release Mondays.
