Your Voice Matters! Family Engagement Survey Extended

🏫 Register Your Five-Year-Old for Kindergarten
Read this photo essay from Mosaic Elementary School for a glimpse of what it’s like to be a kindergartener. Attending kindergarten provides children with an opportunity to learn and practice essential social, emotional, problem-solving, and self-regulation skills they will use throughout their lives.
Registering your child early helps schools prepare and ensure they have the teachers and resources needed on the first day of school. After determining which school your child will attend, parents/caregivers may prepare for registration by gathering documents and completing forms. For details and language support, please visit the Kindergarten Registration page.
Online Registration Opens Soon!
Online registration for FCPS students will open for the 2024-25 school year on Tuesday, April 2. Learn about the online registration process.
Before- and After-School Care
Fairfax County Government’s School Age Child Care (SACC) program provides fun, safe, and educational care for children in kindergarten through sixth grade. Care is available before school, after school, and during school breaks in select Fairfax County public elementary schools and community centers.
SACC registration is now open for the 2024-25 school year and the Camp Fairfax summer program.
Easter
May all in our community who celebrate Easter have a joyful holiday! This year’s Easter artwork was created by Falls Church High School student Dayanara M. The springtime celebration of Easter is the most important Christian holiday. It commemorates the resurrection of Jesus, who sacrificed his life so that Christians may have life with God after death.
🗓️ Calendar Reminder: Student Holidays
Monday, April 1, and Tuesday, April 2, are school planning and teacher workdays, respectively, and are holidays for students.
