Our Science Fair and Kids Lab Parent Night was a huge success. Students proudly presented their science fair projects and had fun doing STEAM activities sponsored by Marymount University.  It was wonderful to see our families come to see the hard work of our students.  Here are a few images from the evening.  Check out our Facebook page for more photos from last night!

There are 3 ways you can complete the survey:

Subs Needed


 Fort Belvoir Primary and Fort Belvoir Upper are still on the hunt for great substitute teachers and substitute instructional assistants! We love working with our military spouses in this capacity, as they already have clearance to be on the installation, and they understand and love our kiddos. If YOU would like to positively impact student learning at our schools, PLEASE fill out an application to substitute teach here at Fort Belvoir Primary and Fort Belvoir Upper. We need you!

If you have questions, please contact Jane O'Hara, Fort Belvoir Upper Assistant Principal, at 571-982-1300.
