Fairfax Academy Families,

The end of the year is upon us and with it a multitude of special events, testing, and other activities. This email will give you information about how to make sure your student's Academy attendance is accurate.

After that, read on to learn about upcoming Academy events as we celebrate everything our students have achieved this year! 

End Of Year Attendance Information

Here's what everyone needs to know about attendance:

  • The last day for shuttles is June 5. There are no classes or shuttles June 4 due to FHS graduation.
  • Academies will take attendance through the beginning of senior exams for seniors; through June 5 for commuter students; and through the last day of school for FHS students. (That schedule is posted in your student's classroom if they need to reference it.)

Here's what you need to know about testing (SOL, AP, etc.) 

  • The Academy schedule does not change. Academy buses will continue to run on schedule every day until June 5, including testing days. (There's one exception: no shuttles to Fairfax on June 4 due to FHS graduation.)
  • Base school schedules may change due to testing. If your student will miss Academy due to the testing schedule, submit an attendance form to make sure their attendance is marked correctly. 
  • Academies are not notified of students' testing schedules. If you receive a notification of absence while your student is testing, this is why; please submit an attendance form and we will gladly correct attendance. 

Here's what you need to know if you have a graduating senior.

  • Academy will automatically mark attendance for senior exams, senior activities, and graduation. You do not need to submit attendance for those dates.
  • Doing a senior internship? Submit a prearranged absence form and a copy of your internship proposal to ensure Academy has the correct attendance information. Students are still responsible for end of year Academy work including testing and projects.

Every base school does end of year a little bit differently, and keeping attendance correct is a team effort. Thanks for your partnership during this busy time of year! 

Need attendance help? Email Sarah at [email protected] or call us at 703-219-2226.

A Reminder About Lanyards

Please remind your students to wear their lanyards on their way in the building. Even now that the year is winding down, the lanyards and ID cards are essential to help us identify our Academy students at the door and in the hallways. We will continue to use them as an important safety and security measure. Students can stop by E119 or the Door 1 security desk for a day pass if they do not have a lanyard.

End of Year Attendance Reminders

Please make note of dates your student will not attend Academy during the final quarter of the year.

Use the online attendance form or a pre-arranged absence form, both linked here

Thanks for your partnership in keeping attendance records accurate!

Fairfax Academy Friends and Family,

We hope you are enjoying the taste of spring this week and are gearing up for a fantastic end of 3rd quarter before we begin the fast-pace of 4th quarter. We have a record number of registrations for next year and look forward to continuing to work with current students and celebrating our seniors!

A word about attendance: As those senior schedules and testing calendars roll in, please notify us of any days that your student will not be attending so we can ensure all end of the year requirements are met. You can do that by filling out the pre-arranged absence form or using our online attendance form (see the link at the bottom of this email).

We have a number of exciting events over the next few months, starting off with this Friday’s Cultural Celebration at Fairfax High School. Keep reading for more information and updated times for a number of our spring events being produced by Fashion, Dance, MCT, MTAS and more. 

We have two contests our students can compete in. One is the annual Fairfax Rotary Club Music Contact and the second if the Inaugural Spotlight on the Arts Art Contest. See details below. Performing arts students should also be on the lookout for the annual Academy Scholarship sponsored by Spotlight on the Arts. Information will be shared through their Academy teachers.

We hope everyone marches strongly to the end of the 3rd quarter!

In partnership,

Mrs. Cook

Fairfax Academy Receives Social Media Communication Award!

Fairfax Academy Receives Social Media Communication Award: For the Fairfax Academy social media accounts, new Career Experience Specialist Amy Hard focuses on bringing surprise, fun, branding, and creativity to content. She posts consistently, creates fun reels (some she is in herself), and is diligent about highlighting the diverse programs and people across the Academy. 

Make sure to give us a follow on Instagram and Facebook!

Alumni in the Industry: Jessica Meiko '18

“The most meaningful thing about Fairfax Academy was having not just a TEACHER, but a LIFE MENTOR by my side every day. It sparked this fire in me and made me realize a creative career is attainable if you love it enough. Without Academy, I wouldn't have found my love for creating with my hands. I was surrounded with like-minded peers, an insanely creative room to escape that "normal" high school day in, and abundant inspiration. My teacher, Jin-A Chang, would tell us every day that we were going to be world changers- that has stuck with me through it all."

February 4, 10 | 2:00 p.m. 

Tickets: https://mtasacademy.weebly.com/cry-baby-the-musical.html

Based on the cult classic, 1990 John Waters film, this jumping, jiving Tony nominee is a rebellious teen comedy event!

It's 1954. Everyone likes Ike, nobody likes communism and Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker is the coolest boy in Baltimore. He's a bad boy with a good cause – truth, justice and the pursuit of rock and roll. Cry-Baby and the square rich girl, Allison, are star-crossed lovers at the center of this world. Fueled by hormones and the new rhythms of rock and roll, she turns her back on her squeaky clean boyfriend, Baldwin, to become a "drape" (a Baltimore juvenile delinquent) and Cry-Baby's moll. At the other end of the topsy-turvy moral meritocracy of 1954 America, Baldwin is the king of the squares and leads his close-harmony pals against the juvenile delinquents, who are ultimately arrested for arson, sending the drapes all off to prison. It's Romeo and Juliet meets High School Hellcats.
