Be Among the First to Hear About School Delays/Closings
Watch this video to see how FCPS makes weather closing decisions.
FCPS’ website is generally the first place to find out about emergency weather closings. Other communication channels will be used as quickly as possible, including email, text, social media, and news stations. Learn more about how schedule changes are communicated.
Be among the first to hear about weather delays and closings! Update your contact information in SIS ParentVUE. Emails and text messages are sent to parents and caregivers based on the addresses and cell phone numbers entered on this platform.

Virtual Parent Café
Fairfax County’s Department of Family Services will host its Building Stronger Families Virtual Parent Café next Tuesday, January 14th, at 6:30 p.m. This month's topic is "Parenting in Hispanic Culture." Facilitators will lead an open discussion about the cross-cultural challenges many parents face while raising their children in a diverse environment. The discussion will address the common issue of instilling respect for Hispanic culture and values while balancing the conflicting cultural influences that children encounter through media, peers, and other sources.
