Calendar Survey

FCPS values your input as we plan future school calendars. On Friday, June 5, all FCPS staff and caregivers will receive an email from noreply@fcps.edu containing a unique link to complete the FCPS Calendar Survey.

Your feedback matters. Please take a few minutes to share your priorities and perspectives by Monday, June 22, at 11:59 p.m.

Individual responses will be kept confidential and will not be shared with school staff or used in any way that identifies you. Only aggregate, summary-level results will be reported to the Fairfax County School Board.

If you do not receive a link to the survey or have technical difficulties completing the survey, please contact the FCPS Office of Research and Program Evaluation. For other questions about the survey, please contact Beth Boivin or William Solomon.
