Launching on April 20, as a part of the 2024 Family Summit, the FCPS Department of Special Services is sponsoring an online Special Education Resource Fair.

This virtual event is a must-visit for families, educators, and community members looking to build their skills in supporting children with disabilities.

• Explore engaging, asynchronous videos, tailor-made to provide innovative support strategies.
• Visit the online exhibit hall to discover resources from FCPS, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations, all dedicated to championing students with disabilities.
• Join us in celebrating the 2024 Advisory Committee for Students with Disabilities (ACSD) First Class Award winners who embody excellence in their special education work, create a positive impact for students with and without disabilities and foster inclusivity for all students.

We are excited to inform you that information regarding the Fairfax County Public School Extended School Year (ESY) services program is now available on our ESY web page.

ESY services are provided to students with disabilities, whose individualized education program (IEP) team has determined they require a program of special education and related services in excess of the regular school year.

• The ESY direct, class-based program will take place from July 1 – July 26, 2024. 
• Specific information about direct, class-based ESY including sites, bell schedules, feeder schools, and FAQs are also posted on the ESY web page.
• If you have questions about whether your child requires these services, please reach out to your child’s special education case manager. 
• If you have any additional questions, please reach out to [email protected].  

Additionally, if you know of someone who is interested in working to support ESY, all staffing positions were advertised on February 14, 2024, and can be found on our ESY Teacher Employment Opportunities web page.
