Fairfax Academy,
As we start the second quarter and head into a heavy travel season, we want to remind our families to notify us of absences. The new full day form in SIS does not show in your student’s Academy attendance. Please have them pick up a pre-arranged absence form from their teacher or the Academy office (or download it from the website here). It is also important that students communicate absences with their teachers so they can stay on top of any work they may miss.
We are gearing up for our annual Career Experience Expo. This year’s event spans 6 days with guest speakers in all of our classes. Follow us on Instagram to learn more about what your students will be participating in this month.
Lastly, it’s the time of year when we collect nominations for outstanding employee awards. If you have an Academy faculty or staff member that you want to nominate, please follow the directions below.
Please reach out to the Academy office if you have any questions.
Do you have 5-10 minutes to tell someone at Fairfax Academy how outstanding they are?
Nominations are now open for the Outstanding Employee Awards! To submit a nomination for a Fairfax Academy/Fairfax High Outstanding Employee in one of the categories below, please complete the nomination through the Google form linked in each title. You may nominate one employee at our school or multiple employees (one individual may only nominate one employee per category.)
