Thank your current school board for why they have today off.


What are you talking about? I went to FCPS schools from the early 1980s through mid 1990s, taught in FCPS from 1999- 2020, and have had kids in FCPS for 12 years. FCPS has ALWAYS had two days off at the end of first quarter.

My son went on a field trip to iFly with the community center/teen center. Tomorrow he will work on a school project at a partner's house for a couple hours and have a tennis lesson in the afternoon. In between will probably be online gaming and/or youtube videos.

No idea. I’ve been at work all day so I’m assuming a lot of time online after sleeping in. She’s going to a sleepover tonight.

I taught for FCPS and my DW still does so. She had meetings this morning and is currently looking at plans. Many of my ES teacher friends have today and much of tomorrow filled with conferences with parents and are working to enter grades into SIS.

These days at the end of the quarter are nothing new.

These two days have been off for decades, it has nothing to do with the SB.
