Winter Weather Cancellations

In the event of an early school closing or school cancellation, all after-school activities and clubs are cancelled at Longfellow (and all other FCPS schools). If school closes early, students will be sent home on their regular bus.

To receive e-mails or text messages of school closings and delays, sign up for the Keep in Touch e-mail system (click Keep In Touch on the left). Radio, television and radio/TV news websites also carry up-to-date school closing information, as does the Fairfax County Public Schools website.

We recommend you develop a plan with your child to cover emergency situations--how your child can access spare keys, neighbors they could stay with, how to contact you, the importance of contacting you when they arrive home, etc. In the event of an early closing, students can call parents from school telephones in the office and classrooms (with teacher approval). Proper planning for emergencies will help to make both you and your child feel safe and prepared to handle these situations.

Please Observe Parking/Pickup Rules

Parents who MUST pick their children up after school may not enter the parking lot until after the busses leave, no early than 2:35 pm. Cars also cannot be parked except in marked parking spaces (not along curbs).

Parking and student pickup at Longfellow is very tight. Please have your child walk or take the bus home as often as possible!
