Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District

Acronyms and Educational Terms

Most professions have their own jargon, and education is certainly no exception. In fact,

teachers and school administrators often use acronyms, initials and abbreviations in our

everyday communication. Without any intention, we have been told that this is sometimes

confusing and frustrating to parents and community members.

As a result, the Board of Education has asked that we create this list to inform and educate.

The attached list of acronyms is by no means all-inclusive but it does contain many ―generic‖

educational terms as well as some that pertain only to Fairfield-Suisun Unified.

We hope that you find this a useful resource. As always, your input is welcome and

appreciated.

What is an acronym?

Ac-ro-nym (ak‘ro nim‘) The dictionary defines acronym as a word formed from

the initial letters of a name or combining the initial letters or parts of a series of

words.

It is a special type of abbreviation, made up from the initial letters of the words of

a phrase, like FBI for Federal Bureau of Investigation (the word acronym itself

comes from the Greek for ‗head‘ and ‗name‘).
