Comprehensive School Boundary Review

Fairfax County Public Schools is committed to ensuring that each and every FCPS student has equitable access to excellence and opportunities in alignment with the FCPS 2023-30 Strategic Plan. As part of this commitment, we are undergoing a comprehensive boundary review for the first time in nearly four decades. This review will assess the boundaries across our district to better support student population growth, changes in school capacity, student health and wellness, and evolving community needs.

How to Update Immunizations and Records

Immunizations are required for all students to attend school in Virginia. Please log in to SIS ParentVUE to see what immunizations your child has recorded. If your child needs a vaccine, please make an appointment with your healthcare provider, visit the Fairfax County Health Department website for a list of child immunization clinics, or access other local services. Please bring your child’s immunization record to your school’s front office or submit the record via SIS ParentVUE as soon as possible.

Limited Early Release Mondays for 2024-25 School Year

Providing an excellent education to all students and meeting individual student needs requires appropriate planning time for teachers. This means teachers need a dedicated block of time to prepare lessons, participate in professional development and training, and collaborate with peers.

With that in mind, FCPS has developed a division wide plan for seven three-hour early release days (Mondays) for elementary students in the 2024-25 school year.
