A Message from Your Academy Admin

Fairfax Academy Friends and Family,

We hope you enjoyed the recent snow day mixed in with some warm spring-like days. We have a record number of registrations for next year and look forward to continuing to work with current students and celebrating our seniors! If you are interested in coming back next year, please make sure your registration is in by March 6. (More details below.)

Looking towards the end of the year, as those senior schedules and testing calendars roll in, please notify us of any days that your student will not be attending so we can ensure all end of the year requirements are met. You can do that by filling out the pre-arranged absence form or using our online attendance form. Please also notify us immediately if you are doing a senior capstone experience. You are still required to complete Academy final exams/projects.

This quarter is super short, so we hope everyone marches strongly to the end of the 3rd quarter!

In partnership,

Mrs. Cook

Registration and Audition Updates

As we approach the registration deadline of March 6th, 2026, please make sure that you are connecting with your base school counselors ASAP to register. Any admissions requests after March 6 will be considered late and could impact registration.

You may see a deadline of February 21 for auditions and portfolios in the automated email you received when you registered. We are extending this deadline to February 28.

If you have any questions in the meantime, please reach out to Academy Counselor, Luke Donald at ladonald1@fcps.edu with any questions.

How to Report Academy Attendance

Did you know? Academy attendance is separate from base school attendance. Here's how to report Fairfax Academy attendance. This applies to all absences (illness, vacation, field trip, testing) and all base schools (including Fairfax HS).

ParentVue entries are not visible to Academies, and we do not receive notification of base school submissions.
