No School - Labor Day Holidays
Friday, September 4, and Monday, September 7, are Labor Day holidays for all FCPS employees and students. Virginia legislation requires that schools opening prior to Labor Day must be closed the Friday immediately preceding Labor Day. We hope everyone takes the long weekend to celebrate a strong start to the school year and enjoy time with family and friends. See the complete school year calendar.

Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow!
The beginning of the school year is the best time to develop strong attendance habits! Students who attend school regularly are more likely to perform well in reading and math, develop strong social and emotional skills, and graduate from high school on time. Help prepare your child for future success. Visit the FCPS Attendance web page for tips and strategies.

-
Built-in Support: You won’t be doing this alone! You'll have past yearbooks as templates, vendor support reps, and a team of parents ready to submit photos and help out.
Whether you're a photography enthusiast, a organizational pro, or simply someone who loves seeing the kids' faces light up when they get their yearbooks, this role is a incredibly rewarding way to get involved.
