Bell Schedule for Fairfax Academy
Attendance
Fairfax Academy’s attendance policy follows FCPS guidelines. We are considered a separate school, so absences must be reported directly to us. Please do not assume your base school will forward your attendance calls to Academy!
We must hear from a Parent/Guardian for ALL absences. We will not accept notices directly from students. The Parent/Guardian must notify both the Academy and the base school when students are absent for any reason.
E-Notify Calls go out each evening to the home telephone number to make parents aware of unverified and unexcused absences.
Please review this page for all attendance information for Fairfax Academy.
Student Driver/Parking Updates
The Academy parking fee is $67 for the entire school year, and that fee is waived if you already have purchased a parking tag from your base school.
View our Transportation page for more information about shuttles and student drivers/parking.

The help desk can be reached at 833-921-3277 (833-921-FCPS) and will be answered by staff members between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m., seven days a week.
Parents or guardians who need help in a language other than English can inform the help desk staff when they call, and an interpreter will join them live on the call.
If help desk staff members are unable to solve the issue, they will request help from the appropriate FCPS team.
