Hive Happenings Newsletter


Dear Stenwood Families:

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is studying how school environments relate to discipline practices in the school system. As part of the study, you will receive a survey from FCPS’ Office of Research and Strategic Improvement (ORSI). The surveys are designed to help FCPS understand your thoughts about the school environment and how discipline is approached in school. Surveys to parents will come via email; your participation is voluntary, and all responses will be anonymous. Thank you for your input. 

Sincerely,
Principal Dammeyer
Assistant Principal Riley
Interim Assistant Principal Worek
