News: Full Day Mondays for Fairfax County Schools

Last week, the Fairfax County Public Schools Board voted to eliminate “Half-day Mondays”, which means that elementary students throughout Fairfax County will now attend school for the same number of hours every day of the week.

The Board also voted to change the master calendar

Do you think that the Aztecs had a master school calendar?

The new master calendar will allow for up to 13 snow days without having to “make them up” at the end of the year, as well as a full two-week winter vacation.  This new calendar will be implemented across all elementary, middle and high schools.

These changes will be implemented this coming school year (2014-2015)
