Hello FCPS Families and Staff,

Due to the Code Red air quality alert issued for Fairfax County, all outdoor activities scheduled on Fairfax County public schools’ fields and courts on Friday, July 17, 2026, are canceled, including: 

  • Recess
  • FCPS Team Practices
  • Co-curricular or extracurricular activities.
  • 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.

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.

We will continue to monitor conditions and will provide additional updates as needed.

Take good care,
