A Message from Your Academy Admin

Fairfax Academy Family & Friends,

We hope you're enjoying the taste of spring we've had this week. The quarter is flying by and we are excited to see all the great work our students are doing. 

Recently we have celebrated student achievement and also recruited the next class of Fairfax Academy students. See below for our Students of the Quarter and for some pictures of Academy recruitment events. 

We are looking forward to MCT Fest, the MTAS Signature Showcase, and Fashion in Motion. Keep reading for information about those events showcasing student work. 

A quick reminder with testing season coming up: Your base school does not send us attendance information. Field trips, testing, illness, vacation, prearranged absences - we don't receive those reports. Please see the bottom of this email for attendance links. 

In partnership,

Mrs. Cook

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.
