Student -Parent Survey for Federal Impact AID
FCPS is asking all families to fill out a Student-Parent Survey for Federal Impact Aid. Returning this form is important because information from this survey results in an anticipated $3 million dollars in grant funds each year from the U.S. Department of Education. These funds are used to support all Fairfax County public schools and centers. For each school-aged child in your household, please complete, sign, date, and return the survey to your child's school. If sections 1 and 2 of the survey do not apply to you, just check the box in Section 3. All forms must be signed, dated, and returned by October 30. All results are CONFIDENTIAL.

AP Exam Opt-Out Forms
Completed AP Opt-Out Forms are due to Mary Halfhill in Student Services by 3:00pm on Friday, October 25, 2019. Students should only return the form if they wish to opt-out of one or more exams. Any student who wishes to register for an exam but is not currently enrolled in the course should see Kim Nelson in Room 1044 before October 25, 2019.
Any schedule changes or exam registration changes after 3:00pm on October 25, 2019, will incur additional fees. The College Board will assess a $40 fee to any student who is registered for an AP exam but does not sit for the exam in May 2020. (The fee is $40 per exam.) A $40 fee will also be assessed for each exam a student opts-out of after October 25 or if a student drops an AP course after October 25.
Please visit the WSHS AP Testing website or the FCPS AP/IB Test Fees FAQs page for additional information about the registration process, opting-out, fees, or registering for additional exams.

Spartan Theatre presents Einstein’s Brains written by Philip Dawkins
October 24th & 25th at 7:00 pm
October 26th at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm
$10 General Admission
$8 Students & alumni
Free for WSHS staff
Tickets may be purchased at the door or in advance at www.spartantheatre.com
IT'S ALIVE! Albert Einstein's brain, that is. Sci-Fi geek and pizza delivery boy Otto must make the most important delivery of all time when the mad scientist Dr. Harvey Thomas gives Otto and his talking dog, Swamp Thing, the task of safely delivering Einstein's brain to a college in Berkeley, where it will be properly studied. Sounds easy, right? Save for a few hilarious distractions (a musical group of preserved body parts, a horde of zombies, and an evil, even madder scientist) it should be a piece of cake! Can Otto and his dog make it to their destination in relatively one piece? Pun intended.

Need your leaves raked?
Hire a Spartan rower squad to take care of it!
Sign up for a slot every Saturday and Sunday from October 26 through December 15 and a crew will come out and get the job done.
• Crews are 3-5 rakers (always with an accompanying parent)
• Fee is $10/hour per raker. (Average job costs between $55 & $150) Tips are always welcome and will go directly to the rower.
• You provide the bags and we bring the rakes, blowers, and brawn.
• We rake, bag, or drag your leaves to a location of your choice.
• There are two raking sessions per day, 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
• Sessions typically last 2-4 hours - however long it takes to pick up all your leaves.
For information or to schedule, please email leafraking@spartancrew.org with your preferred date and details on the job. Feel free to pass on the information to your neighbors.
