Military Families

FCPS welcomes responsive and collaborative communication and partnerships with the families of our students.

 

Military blue start welcome week

Fairfax County Public Schools welcomes all of our new and returning military-connected families during Blue Star Welcome Week and throughout the year!  Whether your family is moving permanently to the school district or living here for a short time, our schools and support staff welcome you and will be able to assist with your transition into and/or out of our district. 

For further assistance or questions about how our military-connected families are supported, please email Family and School Partnerships or contact the Fort Belvoir School Liaison Officer.
