2021 FCPS Awards Nominations

Dear Frost Middle School Community,

As you know, every year Fairfax County Public Schools recognizes outstanding employees at all levels. Once again, this year all schools in FCPS are encouraged to nominate an Outstanding Teacher, whose name will then go on to the pyramid level where a Pyramid Outstanding Teacher will be selected. Then each of the five Regions will select their Region Outstanding Teacher, who will serve as the finalists for the coveted Fairfax County Public Schools Outstanding Teacher Award.

This year at Frost MS, we are hoping to nominate an Outstanding New Teacher, Outstanding Leader, Outstanding Professional Employee; and Outstanding Operational Employee. The eligibility for each award is:

  • Outstanding Teacher
    • Have completed at least three full years of teaching.
  • Outstanding New Teacher
    • Be within the first 3 years of their teaching career.
  • Outstanding Leader
    • Currently work full-time or part-time as a school-based administrator in the current position.  Common positions include Assistant Principal or Director of Student Services.
  • Outstanding Professional Employee
    • Worked at least one year in the current position.  Common positions include School Counselor; After-School Specialist; School-Based Technology Specialist; Technology Support Specialist; Assessment Coach; Instructional Coach; Psychologist; Social Worker; Speech Pathologist; and Safety and Security Specialist.
  • Outstanding Operational Employee
    • Worked at least one year in current position.  Common positions include Administrative and Office Assistants; Custodial staff; Food Service staff; IAs, PHAs, PHTAs and Parent Liaisons.

Nominations for Bus Driver will be processed through Transportation Services.  If you are interested in nominating a Bus Driver, please contact Susan Morningstar. (Contact information below.)

Please note that for all of these awards, the nominees must be aware of and agree to being nominated.

We are asking you, the Frost Middle School parent and guardian community, to help us gather names for this process.  Follow the links, below, to a Google file with each category listed.  To nominate, you will need to write a short paragraph explaining how this employee meets and exceeds the criteria for the award.  The criteria are listed for each category within the Google nomination forms. Please address at least two of these criteria in your paragraph.
