Fairfax County recently wrapped up the 3rd quarter
This week is spring break.
And that means this time of year is right about the time where students start to check out, and parents start the 10-week challenge of keeping their kids “with it” enough to close out the year without tailing off.

- Continuing to work on building consistent routines around homework and studying after school.
