Due to the number of weather-related school closings already this year, several changes will be made to the exam schedule. The last day of the second quarter (first semester) is Wednesday, January 29, with Thursday, January 30, scheduled as a teacher workday, and Friday, January 31, scheduled for a countywide professional development day. Both days are student holidays. • With schools opening two hours late on Friday, January 24, the quarter will end as scheduled on January 29. • No exams are to be administered on Friday, January 24, or Monday, January 27, allowing teachers and students time to prepare. • Exams may begin to be administered on Tuesday, January 28, and Wednesday, January 29. • Teachers will be given extended time, if needed, to complete and submit students’ grades. • Teacher workdays will remain as January 30 and 31. Each school develops a timeline for grading and reporting to parents based on the FCPS calendar. The local school grading deadline ensures schools can report information in a timely manner to families and provide teachers with adequate time to arrive at a grade. The official calendar is published more than a year in advance with contingencies built in for snow days. Schools may adjust internal schedules and grading timelines and provide flexibility for teachers with non-teaching responsibilities to allow adequate time to complete and submit grades.
