Providing an excellent education to all students and meeting individual student needs requires appropriate planning time for teachers. This means teachers need a dedicated block of time to prepare lessons, participate in professional development and training, and collaborate with peers. With that in mind, FCPS has developed a division wide plan for seven three-hour early release days (Mondays) for elementary students in the 2024-25 school year. 

Early Release Mondays are determined by pyramid.  For these Mondays, we will follow the Robinson Pyramid dates for all students and dismiss at 12:15 p.m.
