This is a curated exhibition and final selections were at the discretion of the curator who considered the artist’s originality, technical skill, personal voice, and interpretation of theme.

Dear Families,
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!
Sincerely,
Mie Devers

School Health Services Survey
The Fairfax County Health Department (FCHD) employs school health aides and public health nurses who provide school health services to the students in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS). To determine the quality of these services, a survey has been developed by the FCHD to be shared with all parents or guardians and school staff members who interact with the school health rooms. This may include principals, school counselors, and main office staff members. The survey has been approved for distribution by the FCPS’ Internal Survey Advisory Committee.
Electronic versions of the survey forms may be accessed at:
School Health Services Survey – Parents 2019: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/85QGH7C
School Health Services Survey-Parents 2019 (Spanish): https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LLSF55F
School Health Services Survey – STAFF 2019: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/L87BPDZ
The survey will take less than five minutes to complete and will provide the FCHD with valuable information. Your participation in this important endeavor is appreciated.
Dear 6th Grade Dogwood Parents:
We are so excited that your students will be joining us at Langston Hughes Middle School next year. My name is Katie McClain and I am the current PTA (Parent Teacher Association) President for Langston Hughes Middle School. If you have not previously considered participating in the PTA, I encourage you to do so. Your input is invaluable. PTA is a great way for you to get connected and stay informed about what’s happening in your child’s school. Please feel free to attend one of our upcoming meetings. We are currently looking for volunteers for next school year. Following is the link to our PTA Website with meetings dates/times/contact information: www.lhmspta.com
Sincerely,
Katie McClain
