Sorry, Kids: Another Day Added to Fairfax County Schools Calendar
Last day will be early dismissal.
Fairfax County Schools have a new last day of school: Wednesday, June 25.
The school board voted to add a day to the end of the 2013-14 school calendar as a makeup day for the 11th missed day of the year due to weather.
“This has been a unique and challenging year due to snowstorms both early and late in the season,” FCPS Superintendent Karen K. Garza said in a news release.

FCPS’ adopted calendar for school year 2013-14 identified specific makeup days – February 17, April 7, June 23, and June 24. The calendar approved by the School Board for the current year provided a plan for 10 makeup days. The 11th snow day occurred on March 17, requiring the need for an additional makeup day.
The final day of school – June 25 – will be an early dismissal day for all students.
