Fairfax County Schools September 26, 1997 How do I register my child for school? Take your child to the school he or she will attend. To find your local school, call the Boundaries Office at 703-246-2111. Beware: School boundaries in Fairfax County are in constant flux! Even if you think you know which school your child should attend, it's worth a call to check. You must accompany your child and bring proof of residency in Fairfax County; a birth certificate and proof of citizenship; the child's Social Security number, proof of immunization; and, if your child is transferring from another school or school district, school records or transcripts. In addition, a certificate of a recent physical exam is required for students who are U.S. citizens entering grades K-6 and for students who are foreign citizens entering grades K-12. The school year calendar for 1997-98 is as follows: Sept. 2: First day of school. Oct. 13: Columbus Day holiday. Nov. 3-4: Schools closed for professional activities for teachers. Nov. 27-28: Thanksgiving holiday. Dec. 24-Jan. 2: Winter break. Jan. 19: Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Jan. 26-27: Schools closed for professional activities for teachers. Feb. 16: Presidents' Day holiday. April 3: Schools closed for professional activities for teachers. April 6-10: Spring break. May 25: Memorial Day holiday. June 17: Last day of school.
