The Lake Braddock Shared Vision
As we get closer to the start of the new school year we are working hard to ensure we are able to support the success of all of our students. When we developed our new Shared Vision, we asked ourselves, “What is the story of learning we want to tell?” This led us to focusing on the skills our students would need to be successful once they leave Lake Braddock. Below is the guiding focus of our new Shared Vision of learning at Lake Braddock.
2020 Lake Braddock Bell Schedule
 **4th Period is designated time for Social-Emotional Learning and Intervention.
FCPS 24-7 Blackboard Email Contact
On August 17th, all student email addresses in FCPS 24/7 Blackboard will be automatically changed to each student’s individual @fcpsschools.net email address. Students, their parents, and staff will not be able to change those email addresses in FCPS 24-7 Blackboard. Since teachers may send student announcements through Blackboard, students should log into their @fcpsschools.net email accounts frequently for these important messages teachers during the school year.
