April is the Month of the Military Child! Every year we take the opportunity to recognize military-connected youth for their service and contribution to our community. Fairfax County Public Schools is proud to have over 14,000 military-connected youth as a part of our student body. We appreciate the varied life experiences they bring to our school community, and recognize their strength and resilience. To show our support, FCPS will celebrate Purple Up! Day on Wednesday, April 15, 2026. On this day, school staff and students are encouraged to wear purple, symbolizing unity and support for military families across all service branches.
Learn more about Month of the Military Child and FCPS resources for military families.

We’re so excited the book fair is coming soon to Parklawn Elementary Library from Monday, April 13-Friday, April 17! Students will preview the fair and make wishlists with their classes on Monday, April 13, and will be able to buy books during their scheduled time with their class. Families are invited to shop during school hours that week or:

Wednesday, Apr 15, 2026 after school until 7:00pm
The book fair will accept cash, check (payable to the school), credit cards and eWallet.
eWallet is a cashless payment option where money can be added to a virtual account for students to use. Please note that tax WILL NOT be charged on items this year. More information about setting up an eWallet account and our fair is available at the book fair homepage: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/parklawnelementaryschool2
This link can also be used to shop the fair online until April, 26.
Again, this year: ALL adult volunteers will get a free item of choice for their volunteering. Remember all proceeds from the book fair support our school’s classroom libraries and the school library.

Tuesday, April 21, is now a teacher workday and staff development day because of a recently announced special election that will impact all FCPS schools.
Students will have a traditional full day of instruction and be released at the regular dismissal time on April 22 and April 29, which were previously early release Wednesdays for elementary schools.
This adjustment allows our staff to still have dedicated time for planning, collaboration, and professional learning without reducing instructional time on other school days.Read Dr. Reid’s letter to elementary parents for more details.
Please Note: As a result of this change, Parklawn's kindergarten orientation is being moved from April 29 to May 20 from 1:30-3 pm.
April 6:Teacher Work Day; No School for students
April 9: PTA meeting and Family Market
April 10: School Planning Day; No school for students
April 13-17: Parklawn Book Fair
April 17: PTA Bingo Night
April 20: Career Day
April 21: State-wide Election Day; No School for students
