We're excited to welcome our newest Hawks!

We are a school in Fairfax County, Virginia.

New students fall into one of two registration categories:

Students who are new to Holmes Middle School and have not attended FCPS before.

Students who are new Holmes Middle School and who are currently enrolled in FCPS, but did not most recently attend either Bren Mar Park ES, Columbia ES, North Springfield ES, Parklawn ES, or Weyanoke ES.
- If the student attended one of these five schools last year, there is nothing that needs to be done. The student records will be automatically transferred to Holmes MS! Please review the mandatory forms from our Student Services homepage.

To join Holmes Middle School, first determine if your student lives in our boundary by viewing the FCPS boundary locator.

Additional Resources

Registering a Student Whose Home Language Is Other Than or In Addition to English

Student families wishing to register a student with a home language other than or in addition to English should please contact the FCPS Student Registration Welcome Center. Here professionals may assess your student's English language skill and/or educational level. These assessments can provide valuable information to the local school and support your child's instructional needs.
