No Play Dates for All School Activities

School Year 2024-2025

In accordance with FCCPS Regulation CC-R, FCCPS will, as much as practical, not schedule the following activities on religious holidays:

  • Tests, quizzes, or other assessments;

  • Field trips, school pictures, guest speakers, or assemblies;

  • School-sponsored special events and activities (e.g., prom, back-to-school nights);

  • Sporting events (unless required by the Virginia High School League)

  • Auditions or tryouts that cannot be rescheduled; and

  • Safety drills which occur 1-2 times per year including tornado, earthquake, and lockdown drills.

State, national, and international competitions, exams, or sporting events (e.g., SAT, SOL, AP/IB, VHSL) are not bound by this regulation. FCCPS will make every effort possible to communicate with students, staff, and families when these events are scheduled on religious holidays. See Policy CC and Regulation CC-R.
