Ice Cream Social Sign-Up
Our first ice cream social yesterday was a huge success! If you missed it, don't worry – we're hosting another next Tuesday, August 6th. It was wonderful seeing both returning Eagles and our incoming class.
Tours of the building begin at Door 1 (main entrance) with one of our administrative team members. This is an open house format where you can drop by for as little or as long as you would like. You do not have to arrive right as it begins as there will not be an agenda. If childcare is a concern, feel free to bring siblings along.
August 6th - 2:00-4:00 pm

Support Your Child’s Success by Checking
SIS ParentVUE
Parents and caregivers can view important information in SIS ParentVUE such as student attendance, grades, progress reports, and assessment scores. Watch this video if you need help creating a SIS ParentVUE account.
You will keep the same SIS ParentVUE account until the student graduates. Information about students in the same family can be accessed through the same account. An app is also available for Apple and Android devices.
If you already have an account, be sure to update your phone numbers and/or email addresses (in the Parent/Guardian section), so your child’s school can send you important information. Get more information on SIS ParentVUE.
7th Grade Immunization Requirement
The Code of Virginia requires all students to be immunized against certain communicable diseases prior to entrance into Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS).
All students entering 7th grade will be required to receive one dose of each of the following immunizations prior to the beginning of school: Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis booster (Tdap), Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY) and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
- To meet the Meningococcal (MenACWY) requirement, the vaccination must be administered at age 10 or older.
- As a parent/guardian, you may decide that your child not receive the HPV vaccination. The school does not require documentation if a parent/guardian elects for their student not to receive the HPV vaccination.
Immunizations are available from your child’s healthcare provider, the Fairfax County Health Department, or other community resources.
