 Our Global Classroom team hosted a visit from the Ambassador of Costa Rica. During the visit, our Kindergarten students sang a song for her and our third grade students learned all about the biodiversity of Costa Rica. Soon, the third graders will be working with a class in Costa Rica to problem-solve an environmental issue.
FCPS Family Engagement Survey
Fairfax County Public Schools will be conducting a survey to gather information about family engagement in our schools. Relationships are important to us, and your opinion is critical to help us support your engagement in your child’s education. Your feedback will also help us determine how well we are reaching the goals for Caring Culture we have set in our Strategic Plan. Survey translations will be made available, and the survey can be taken on electronic devices, including smartphones.
Survey administration is scheduled for March 24-April 12, 2019, and you will receive more information about how to take the survey in the near future.
We look forward to hearing from you!
 Our fifth and sixth grades students sang a beautiful rendition of "This is Me" from the movie The Greatest Showman. Go Lions!
Supporting Kids in a Digital World
Please mark your calendars for a special event being planned for the Westfield community: Supporting Kids in a Digital World.
For kids, digital life is real life. It's where they build friendships, take a stand on issues, and do so much more. Come learn how we can work together to help students navigate this digital world.
Date: Tuesday, March 26, 2019
Time: 6:15 p.m. - 8:15 p.m.
Where: Westfield High School
The evening will offer a wealth of information for parents through an engaging format. We’ll begin with a large-group presentation (including a student panel) and then breakout into a series of sessions aimed at building understanding around issues facing our kids (and parents) right now. Ultimately, we hope to highlight the importance of taking a shared responsibility in helping our kids learn how to behave safely, ethically, and responsibly online.
In order to for us to make this event as meaningful as possible, please respond to the following (short) survey so that we can plan accordingly:
