Greetings Bryant Families!
It has been another fantastic week of student work here at Bryant, and the energy on campus is electric as we enter the final week for the Class of 2026! A huge congratulations to our seniors as they approach their last day of classes on Friday, May 22. We are looking forward to a week of celebration, including our senior class trip to Dave & Busters on May 28 and graduation practice on May 29. Please remember that students must turn in their permission slips to the main office by Friday, May 22, to participate in the senior trip. We can’t wait to see our seniors enjoy this well-deserved time together!
As we near the big day, we want to ensure every family is ready for a seamless and joyful graduation ceremony. Our commencement will begin at 5:00 PM, and doors will open for guest security screenings starting at 4:15 PM. Please see below for additional logistical details, and thank you in advance for partnering with the Bryant staff to make this a truly special and memorable day for our graduates.
Finally, we are excited to offer Saturday School tomorrow (May 16) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at both Bryant High School and Annandale High School. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to receive teacher support and wrap up any remaining assignments. Please note that students placed at Bryant by the Hearings Office must attend Saturday School specifically at the Bryant campus. We strongly encourage all our students to take advantage of this extra time to ensure they finish the school year with passing grades and a great sense of accomplishment!
Take Care!

New Cellphone Policy Starts July 1
On Thursday, May 7, the Fairfax County School Board approved changes to the FCPS Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R). The approved changes include updated guidance for cellphone possession and use, to align the FCPS cellphone policy with Senate Bill 108. This new Virginia law goes into effect on July 1 and states that all schools in the Commonwealth must follow a “bell-to-bell” phone-free policy.
This means that starting July 1, 2026, across all grade levels at FCPS, student cellphones, phone accessories, and all smart devices (including watches that serve a dual purpose, such as smart watches, as well as earbuds, headsets, smart glasses, and other other items connected to the internet) must be off and personally stored (i.e., put away in backpacks) for the duration of the school day — thus, no cellphones from bell to bell.
High school students will no longer be able to use cellphones and personal devices during lunchtime. More details are available on the FCPS Cellphone Policy webpage.
Other SR&R Changes for the 2026-27 School Year
Visit the FCPS website or the School Board agenda to learn about additional updates, including:
- Added guidance and procedures for in-school and out-of-school suspensions and discipline investigations, including supports for students with disabilities and multilingual learners.
- Expanded guidance and standardized disciplinary procedures (“Universal Grade Matrices”) related to harassment, hate speech, discriminatory behavior, and Title IX reporting requirements.
- Responses to incidents involving intimate images, fighting, physical aggression, object throwing, and drug policy violations.
