Hello FCPS Families and Staff,

Due to the National Weather Service heat advisory in effect for Fairfax County, all outdoor activities scheduled on Fairfax County public schools’ fields and courts from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, are canceled, including: 

  1. Co-curricular or extracurricular activities.
  2. Recreation programs and community use by outside groups not affiliated with FCPS. 

Employees whose job function requires outdoor work (e.g., landscaping, groundskeeping, warehousing, general facilities, etc.) are to complete the remainder of their workday indoors. Alternate work activities that can be completed include required training, indoor maintenance, etc.

Extreme heat resources, including the locations of cooling centers and safety tips, can be found on the Fairfax County website.

In addition, the FCPS Summer Food Service Program continues at locations across the county, providing meals to all children at no cost on a first-come, first-served basis. Locations are listed on the FCPS website.

As conditions evolve and this heat continues, we will provide daily morning updates.

Take good care, 

Dr. Reid signature
