2021-22 FCPS school year calendar

As discussed briefly at February's PTA meeting, FCPS is considering revising the 2021-22 school calendar. The school board will have a public hearing about the upcoming 21-22 school year calendar on March 4 & will vote on March 18. Options A & B includes 4 religious holidays observed by many in our community. Option C does not include those 4 days. If you want to share your input prior to the vote on March 18, you can reach out to your local school board member, Melanie Meren, by visiting the School Board page and submitting a question.

A recent FCPS newsletter with a description of the options can be found here.

At-Large School Board Member, Rachna Sizemore-Heizer, has a survey up about the options. Click here to take the survey.

Stay warm and show off your Westbriar pride, all while supporting your PTA!
