Message from the Principal

Dear Families,

Earth Day is a global celebration dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of protecting our planet! 

Our planet provides us with everything we need to thrive – clean air to breathe, fresh water to drink, fertile land to grow food, and breathtaking natural beauty. Earth Day serves as a reminder of our responsibility to care for this incredible planet, not just on Earth Day, but every day.

This Sunday, April 21 (1-3PM) we will celebrate Earth Day as a community.  Families and staff will be able to plant flowers around the perimeter of our school building!  Location: Door 1.

Earth Day is a reminder that we all share the responsibility to protect our planet. By working together, we can create a more sustainable future for generations to come.

See you Sunday!

Updates from the County

Social & Emotional Learning Screener Results Coming Soon

FCPS students in grades 3-12 took the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener during March, providing updated information on skills such as achieving goals, understanding and managing emotions, establishing and maintaining relationships with adults and peers, and making responsible decisions. The SEL Screener also helps students evaluate their school community’s efforts to make them feel valued, included, and supported. 

In late April, individual student SEL Screener results will be available for families in the Documents section of SIS ParentVUE. For families who do not have an active ParentVUE account, results will be sent via postal mail. 

Get more information about the screener on the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener webpage. For support in understanding your individual student’s results or ideas on how to support them at home, please review the Family Guide or contact your child’s counselor.
