Military Families
Fairfax County Public Schools welcomes all of our new and returning military-connected families during Blue Star Welcome Week and throughout the year! Whether your family is moving permanently to the school district or living here for a short time, our schools and support staff welcome you and will be able to assist with your transition into and/or out of our district.
For further assistance or questions about how our military-connected families are supported, please email Family and School Partnerships or contact the Fort Belvoir School Liaison Officer.
