During the month of September, students in the EMT classes receive American Heart Association Healthcare Provider BLS CPR w/AED training through their classes.
Students in the Pharmacy Tech program learned what to do in case someone has been badly injured and is bleeding profusely. Trauma Clinical Educators from Inova Fairfax Medical Campus were in class to teach students how to apply a tourniquet, pack a wound and apply pressure to stop the bleeding and hopefully save a life. All students involved received a certificate of completion.
Students in the Medical Assistant courses will be supporting Public Health Nurses at FCPS high school, middle school and elementary schools with their vision and hearing screenings this fall. These students will receive experience in direct patient contact as well as the process of taking vision and hearing screenings on multiple students.
Parking & Transportation at the Academy |
|
 |
Parking / Transportation: Due to the ongoing renovative at Falls Church High School all Academy students are strongly encouraged to take the free shuttle bus to and from your high school if shuttles are available. Drop-offs and pick-ups will be at Door #4. Shuttle schedules will be posted on our Academy website according to AM, Mid-Day 1, and Mid-Day 2 classes. Student drivers must have an Academy hang tag displayed from their rear view mirror. If you have a base school tag, there is no charge. If you do not have a base school tag, your parking fee is $67.00. Academy parking is located at the Providence Rec Center and student drivers will enter the building through Door #11. Parking is limited and will be prioritized for students without shuttles. For students taking classes at the Plum Center, parking is available in the Plum Center parking lot.

Cell Phone Policy at Falls Church HS Academy |
Falls Church High School has been selected as one of the schools to pilot the new phone-free initiative, beginning September 3. This includes all students attending Falls Church Academy classes as well. Even if the student's base school is not included in this pilot, all Academy students will adhere to this same policy when in Academy classes. Students will need to store cell phones in central storage units in each classroom. Airpods must be secured in the storage unit or placed in backpacks. Smartwatches must be off or on airplane mode. More information will be shared in class.
Attendance: Good attendance is paramount to your success at Falls Church Academy. Our courses are performance-based so it’s absolutely critical you are here to participate. When reporting absences, parents must contact both their child’s base school and Academy attendance offices. The Academy Attendance number is 703.207.4011
