Eating disorders are behaviors that can lead to serious health problems. These behaviors can begin as a child, and affect both girls and boys. When discovered early, eating disorders are treatable. In 2013, Virginia passed a law requiring every school system provide information to parents annually about eating disorders. This information is given to parents of students in the fifth through twelfth grades.
It is important to note that eating disorders are not identified based on weight changes as much as behaviors and attitudes. Signs of eating disorders may differ between males and females and in different age groups. Often, a young person may not recognize the signs that they might have an eating disorder. Parents/guardians and family members are in a position to notice behaviors that cause concern. It is important that a child with an eating disorder be treated early by someone who understands this type of care.
If you think your child may be showing signs of a possible eating disorder, please contact your doctor, school nurse, or one of the resources listed below.
Additional resources may be found at:
For any family affected by the government furlough, Fairfax County Coordinated Services Planning (CSP) connects Fairfax County residents to county and community-based services and resources. Just one phone call will get you connected to the information and assistance you need. Call 703-222-0880, TTY 711.

A special thanks to Abigail Locke for creating the awesome “Crayola Color Cycle Marker Collection Bin”! It will remind and encourage all of us to recycle our used markers and save our planet from mounds of plastic. Marker recycling also helps our school continue to achieve ‘Green” status. Please bring all your used markers from home and from your classroom and deposit them in our new bin in the school lobby!
Thanks again Abigail! Great Job!
