How do I request a statement saying how much I spent on child care?

How does the school calculate the breakdown of our tuition payments between school and daycare for our tax statements?

If your child is in our infant, toddler, preschool, or kindergarten program your entire tuition is considered as a daycare expense.  If your child is in first, second, or third grade, 25% of your tuition is considered academic and the remaining 75% is considered as a daycare expense.

Receipts are also available at the end of the year stating your yearly total for child care.  Please submit a written request to the office which includes the following information: your name, child’s name, and current address.  Please allow two weeks for processing.  For information regarding tax benefits, please contact the IRS or your tax representative.

What is the severe weather closure policy?

On days that are considered Snow Days by the Fairfax County Public Schools, we will make every attempt to be open with as many staff as possible.  On such days, we will be open for child care, but there will be no academic classes. 

If the Federal Government closes down for weather, we will close an hour and a half after the last shift release of the Federal Government’s Staggered Leave Program.  If the Federal Government is closed due to weather, we will also be closed.  Please call (703) 256-0002 for an update.

When can my child take his/her free week of vacation?

One week of vacation will be granted after your child has attended school regularly for six months.  This tuition-free week may be taken at any time you wish, but the Director must have written notice two weeks prior to such vacation.  Your child is eligible for one free week of vacation per year.  

The year is calculated from time of enrollment.  For example, if your child begin attending the school in September 1998 then your year would run from September 10, 1998 - September 10, 1999.  The first year your child would be eligible for vacation after six months.  The second year your child could take one free week of vacation anytime after September 10, 1999 (date of enrollment).
