School Board Members: Welcome Back Messages
Messages from both The City of Fairfax & FCPS School Board members
What Is a School Board?
The Fairfax County School Board is responsible for running the public schools in Fairfax County. Twelve School Board members are elected by county voters every four years.
A student representative serves on the board as a non-voting member. They are chosen by their peers each year.
The School Board makes general rules and sets guidelines to ensure Fairfax County Public Schools runs properly. They follow the laws of Virginia and the rules set by the Virginia Board of Education.
Learning about your local School Board is important. Understanding their policies and initiatives can help you advocate for positive changes and ensure that the educational needs of all students are met. There are many ways to get involved.
Learn more about the School Board, how to participate in their meetings, and where to watch their meetings.

Providence Back to School Night
We're excited to announce our upcoming Back-to-School Night on September 19th from 5:30pm to 7:00pm. This special event is a wonderful opportunity to meet your child's teachers, learn about our curriculum and expectations, and ask any questions you may have.
We'll have a brief presentation followed by classroom visits where you can get a firsthand look at your child's learning environment. There will be two identical sessions to accommodate families with students in different grade levels. Specialists will be located in the lobby at tables throughout the evening and also help to direct families to classrooms
We hope to see you there!
