Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) announced on March 18 a series of updates for students, families, and staff regarding recent achievements, upcoming events, and important deadlines. The announcement includes recognition of student-athletes, opportunities for family engagement, and reminders about school schedules.
The update highlights the importance of community involvement in education and provides information on how families can participate in surveys and events. FCPS encourages parents to share their feedback through the Family Engagement Survey by Monday, March 23. The survey is available in multiple languages and can be accessed online or via paper copies at schools.
Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid continues her outreach efforts with Community Conversations scheduled throughout the spring at various elementary schools. These sessions are open to all community members who wish to share their thoughts or ask questions. Registration is encouraged but not required.
