Fairfax County Public Schools presented nine schools with awards for outstanding school communications at the third annual School Communicators Conference held in January by the Office of Communications. 

The 2024 Awards of Communication Excellence celebrate the creation of excellent websites, newsletters, and social media content that inform and engage readers. The winners are examples of the substantial talent that exists among the community of FCPS school communicators.

Newsletters

Schools were judged on their family newsletters sent through FCPS’ News You Choose platform. They were judged for consistency, engagement, creativity, writing, accessibility, and other best practices.
