Childcare Needs for 3 Hour Early Release

green check mark

ACTION ITEM: Childcare Needs 3 Hour Early Release

FCPS needs EVERY family to complete the 3 Hour Early Release Survey!  The first 3-hour early release school day is quickly approaching on September 16th!

If your family is in need of childcare supervision on the 3-hour release days, then you must make your request using the link below:

https://forms.gle/FskapugeAi2bJ8n4A

If you do not request childcare supervision for the early release Mondays using the survey link, then your child will be dismissed from school at 1:05 PM and sent home their normal route.

Parents who will NOT require after-school childcare supervision on early release Mondays MUST also complete the survey.

The Early Release Mondays planned throughout the school year for elementary schools are essential to allow educators time for planning and professional development. 

The following dates are planned for Early Release Mondays throughout the school year:

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

Thank you for your cooperation in completing the survey as soon as possible as this will help our Halley staff plan accordingly for childcare needs.
