Winter Break 12/23 - 1/3

winter break

As a reminder, winter break will be held Monday, December 23, to Friday, January 3. To help make sure you and your children have a restful break, we have asked that no homework be assigned during this time. 

Parklawn's main office will also be closed during the entire winter break.

We look forward to welcoming students back in the new year.Classes resume on Monday, Jan. 6, 2025. See the complete school year calendar.


Lost and Found

Our lost and found is overflowing!  We will have it displayed in the front hall from Wednesday through Friday and have all classes walk by in hopes of getting items returned to their owner.  Any items left at the end of the day on Friday will be bagged up and donated.

⛄Student and Family Resources

Fairfax County Public Schools has compiled a list of resources for students and families in case they need assistance while schools are closed for winter break. Please visit FCPS’ winter resources webpage for information on academic support, mental health support, and county resources related to food, clothing, housing, and other needs.

School’s Closed, Learning Can Continue! 

FCPS encourages students to take advantage of fun learning opportunities during winter break and snow days. Consider these winter activities to blend education and play for your students during winter break or weather-related school closures.
