FCPS Schools Will Open as Usual Wednesday

All Fairfax County public schools and offices will open on time on Wednesday, Oct. 31, the schools system announced Tuesday.

Individual schools that may have power outages will be reassessed in the morning, so check your inbox for Keep in Touch messages from your individual schools or check the FCPS website.

FCPS is asking parents to be patient as buses may need to work around road closures in some parts of the county and bus routes may be delayed.

Meanwhile, Halloween trick or treating is generally on in most neighborhoods in Fairfax County. Since trick or treat is not organized by any one jurisdiction, like a town government it is hard to make a universal decision, said Fairfax County spokeswoman Merni Fitzgerald.

For more information, and also check with your homeowners' association or town government (in places such as Vienna and Herndon).

Don't feel like participating? Turn your front lights off for some Halloween peace and quiet.
