Dear Justice Families,
It’s hard to believe the first quarter will end this Friday, October 30. Students should have all their quarter one work completed and submitted by this day for it to be reflected in their Q1 grades.
Just a reminder that October 29th is a PSAT day and we will run asynchronously. In addition, October 30th is a two-hour early release day. Please see below for our schedule. There is no school for students on Monday, November 2, and Tuesday, November 3. These days are student holidays and no asynchronous work will be posted.
Please note that FCPS Weekly Progress Reports generated through SIS will not be sent to parents between now and Friday, November 6 while first quarter grading is completed and report cards are generated. Additionally, the Grade Book and Report Card modules in ParentVUE and StudentVUE are closed until November 6th during the grading window.
Finally, last Friday, Dr. Brabrand’s sent an email about return to school updates. You will be receiving an e-Notify email from me on Monday to reconfirm your selection from the summer, either in-person or online.
As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to email me or any member of our admin team. Have a great rest of your weekend!
Please join the Student Services Department virtually on Thursday, October 29th, from 7pm - 8:00 pm for our 2nd Senior Parent Coffee. College Access Fairfax will present on Financial Aid and Scholarships.
Registration is required by submitting the Justice HS Class of 2021 Senior Parent Coffee google form by 7pm on Wednesday, October 28, 2020. (https://tinyurl.com/ParentCoffeeJHS)
Blackboard Collaborate details will be emailed to registered attendees 24 hours before the event. Please contact Alicia Grande, College & Career Specialist, at agrande@fcps.edu with questions.
Parents and/or guardians can now opt to “Go Paperless” in ParentVUE and receive only online report cards.
This will not impact any other mailings from FCPS other than the report cards for secondary students and progress reports for ES students.
To take advantage of the paperless options, BOTH parents and/or guardians will need to log into ParentVUE, then go to “My Account” and select "Go Paperless." All parents who live with the student and share the same address must have a SIS ParentVUE account and must select the paperless option to prevent mailing of the printed report cards.
The “Go Paperless” option will apply to all their associated students, no matter what school level.
If you submitted an application for Free or Reduced-Price Meals last school year for your child(ren), please remember to submit a new application for this school year. MUST BE DONE ASAP! Please click on this website link to renew your application:
