May Newsletter

Dear Fairfax County Students, Families and Staff,

I hope you are doing well and enjoying the spring weather. As vaccinations increase and case numbers go down, we still need to be vigilant but I have hope we are coming out of this dark time into a world of, as my son would say, “sunshine and smiles.” I know the CDC recently updated their guidance regarding masks and distancing for vaccinated individuals and the Governor has also amended his executive order to reflect the new CDC guidance. The Governor’s amended executive guidance goes into effect on May 28, 2021. You can read the new CDC guidance here and the Governor's Executive Order here. FCPS Leadership met with state officials late on Friday and is reviewing these updated guidelines and will release more information soon regarding the impact on K-12, so keep an eye out for an email from FCPS.

As we near the end of the year, I will be holding my last town hall meeting of this school year on Wednesday night. Please join me and Vice-Chair & Sully District School Board Member, Stella Pekarsky, for a virtual town hall to address your questions about our summer programming, ESL and recovery options, fall plans and more.

Submit Questions for the town hall through this form. This will help us best respond to as many questions as possible. We will only address questions that we receive through this form.  You may submit questions through the form in advance and during the town hall.

When: Wednesday, May 19th, 2021, 7 PM - 8 PM 

Where: Blackboard Collaborate - Use this link 


I want to express my gratitude and appreciation for all of the hard work done by our principals, staff and Region leadership as they took on yet another daunting pivot and expanded in-person learning from two days to four days a week. The logistical challenges were enormous given the necessary continued compliance with CDC’s layered prevention strategies and the enormous pressure and expectations that were placed upon many of them. I am very impressed almost all of our in-person students were able to return to four days a week in the building. Planning is well underway for five days a week in the fall.  I look forward to the time when not only our students are re-connected  with each other, but our parents and staff, as well. Life under a global trauma has left many burnt out and tired - from teachers, to staff, to administrators to parents. I hope we can all emerge from this summer rested and with space for respectful dialogue, healing and unity moving forward. 

I am excited for the in-person formal events for seniors and for in-person graduations!! This is something I have been advocating for over many months so I am incredibly glad our health conditions have improved. But I am most grateful to our staff, administrators and central office leadership team who have been working overtime planning these events, pivoting and pivoting again with changing conditions. When the Governor’s orders were going to preclude the use of our stadiums, and the Eagle Bank Arena was being used as a mass vaccination site, they found alternatives so all schools could have a graduation with all seniors together and guests able to see their loved ones graduate. 

It has been a rough and unusual year for many seniors and while nothing we can plan now will make up for all they have lost, we look forward to celebrating the end of their senior year. As the parent of a ”Double Class of 2021” - high school and college - I know how agonizing this year has been for our students and their families navigating these, and other, seminal transitions, such as 5th/6th grade and more. I can’t wait to celebrate our seniors and their unprecedented grace and resilience at graduations across the county.

My Thoughts on Some Frequently Asked Questions

Virtual Option for the Fall: I know some have asked for a more robust virtual option for the fall, based on parent choice. FCPS is planning for a virtual option for students with documented medical needs, similar to our homebound program. While I know FCPS will use many of the lessons learned this year to improve education, I would like to dig deeper into what we can do to help students who are thriving virtually be similarly successful in our buildings, as well as explore how virtual learning can complement in-person learning. However, next year we need to focus on a strong in-person start, to get students reengaged and reconnected. School is our students’ world and there is much educating that goes on outside the classroom, in teaching students how to interact, work with, and exist with each other - that “hidden curriculum” and those informal “teachable moments” that comes from being and working together. I believe we will continue to evolve around virtual learning and the use of technology, but right now everyone is exhausted and the energy needs to be focused on starting strong in person and moving away from concurrent instruction, which has posed many challenges for teachers and students, alike.

Remediation: While our summer programming is ten times larger than previous summers, I know many are still concerned about remediation and learning loss - our teachers are ready to meet students where they are and work to get them where they need to be. We have federal funds that can be used through next year and beyond to help provide remediation where needed. We just need to get all our students back into school in our new normal, see where they all are, and work from there. In the meantime, schools are reaching out to students who have been identified as needing summer programming for this summer. This summer programming is not mandatory but also just the beginning of our work regarding addressing the impact of COVID on student learning. 

ESSER Funds: Many of the Board have asked for a briefing on FCPS’ use of ESSER and other COVID related funds. Here is a link to the most recent information. I look forward to an updated briefing soon. 

Anti-Bias Survey:   I have received many emails about FCPS anti-racism and anti-bias work and the recent survey. FCPS is committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment where all students and staff are respected and valued. 

While I think equity work is important to ensuring that safe environment, I did not see the survey in advance nor did I know this survey was going to be sent.  I do have some concerns about it and I am looking into it further. 

Virginia Math Pathways Initiative:  I continue to receive questions regarding the Virginia Department of Education's review of the math curriculum.  The Virginia Mathematics Pathways Initiative (VMPI) is a VDOE proposal that is under development to modernize and update Virginia’s mathematics curriculum in grades K-12 to align instruction with the essential knowledge and skills students need to succeed in the 21st-century economy.  The website includes information about the process, goals and plans that are currently under development and has a schedule of webinars that you can watch to learn more information.  The Washington Post recently had an article about the VMPI.  This is a state initiative, not an FCPS one, so please direct your feedback to vdoe.mathematics@doe.virginia.gov and your State Senator and Delegate (you can find your state senator and delegate here).

I have reviewed the materials and had many conversations about the VMPI.  I still have questions.  The website and webinars have stated that the implementation of VMPI would still allow for student acceleration in mathematics content according to ability and achievement and that school divisions would still be able to tailor courses to meet student needs and provide opportunities for advanced sections and accelerations.  The website also states that advanced courses would not be eliminated. 

I strongly believe that we need to ensure there is access to robust mathematics education at all levels and paths that meets the needs of all learners, including advanced learners.  This is a work in progress and I will continue to monitor this issue.

Vaccinations for Ages 12 and Up Now Available!

The COVID-19 vaccine is now available for people ages 12 and up. This means just about every middle and high school student in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) may now be vaccinated. Here is a link to schedule your free vaccine for yourself or your students age 12 and up

There are also walk in vaccinations available at certain CVS locations. Read more here

FCPS is encouraging student vaccinations because this is one more way to ensure the safest school environment for everyone and for students to avoid quarantine if they are exposed to someone with COVID-19. I know FCPS is working with the health department to try to make it as easy as possible for those who choose to get vaccinated to be vaccinated.

Teens at Justice High School are featured below in photos and videos. They share why they are getting vaccinated. (Note: In some photos, masks were briefly removed, but safety measures were in place.) Check them out here: Ask Me Why - Teen Vaccine

American Academy of Pediatrics Endorses FCPS’ Five Days of In-Person Learning

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has stated support of FCPS’ model of providing five days of in-person instruction for all children this fall. This endorsement by a highly respected group of pediatricians validates our belief that in-person learning is best for children. The AAP also believes that virtual instruction should be utilized only when necessary and in consultation with a child’s physician or medical team. 


Fairfax County’s School Age Child Care to Open for 2021-22 School Year

SACC will be open to provide before and after school services for the 2021-22 School Year.  The SACC program is currently assessing center capacities based on health and safety protocols. More information for the 2021-22 School Year program will be available by June 15 on the SACC website.  Families who were previously enrolled will be contacted to determine their need for services.


FCPS Shares Plans with Limited Virtual Instruction for 2021-22 School Year

Fairfax County Public Schools will offer all students five days of in-person learning in the fall while offering a limited, centralized Virtual Program Model for students with documented health/medical needs.

FCPS’ Virtual Program Model for SY 2021-22 is a response to the impacts of COVID-19. The school division does not plan to offer it beyond this coming school year. Families must apply for their student to continue receiving virtual instruction in the next school year.

More information on virtual instruction is available online.

Outdoor Learning Spaces Available for Schools

outdoor learning

 

FCPS is expanding outdoor classrooms to support student’s return to in-person learning.  Outdoor classrooms provide much needed relief for schools struggling to maintain social distancing requirements.  However, they’re not just being used for instruction.  These spaces provide schools the flexibility to adjust their daily activities as they see fit.  Whether it’s used for instruction, eating breakfast and lunch, or supporting graduations and promotional events… schools are taking full advantage of this new opportunity.

What started as a Get2Green pilot program with five schools last Fall has grown to more than fifteen schools this Spring.  A further fifty tents have already been purchased (with more on the way) and will be provided to schools as part of a planned roll-out this Summer.  FCPS has set aside $2 million in CARES funding to support outdoor learning spaces.  The goal is for all schools to have outdoor classrooms before the start of the school next year.  Facilities staff are working with school administrators to assess their campuses and determine the best use and location for each school.  If they so choose, schools will be provided one or more 20ft by 30ft mini marquee with detachable sides.  One tent is large enough to fit a class of socially distanced students and teacher.  See the Washington Post’s story about outdoor learning.


COVID-19 Data Reporting Changes 

To more accurately represent the burden of COVID-19 outbreaks to the public, VDH is expanding the criteria for publicly reporting outbreaks. 

Currently, VDH only reports outbreaks with at least two positive MAT tests, such as PCR laboratory tests. However, beginning Friday, May 7, 2021, VDH will report outbreaks dating back to January 2021 under a more broad definition that includes antigen tests. This will result in an increase in the number of K-12 outbreaks reported in the outbreak dashboard.

School Board Moves to Develop School Trust Policy 

The School Board agreed to develop a School Trust Policy, aligning the school division with Fairfax County’s Trust Policy. Adopted in January, the County policy prohibits voluntary cooperation by all Fairfax County agencies with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The policies are designed to help build trust and confidence with immigrant families. The Board’s governance committee will now work with school division staff to develop the policy for adoption by the full Board.

Summer Opportunities for Students

2021 FCPS Summer Learning Information

This summer, FCPS will offer a variety of school-based opportunities. These include:

  • Credit Recovery: Each high and secondary school will host credit recovery opportunities for its students during two sessions.

  • School-Based Opportunities for Select Elementary School Students: Each elementary school has summer learning opportunities designed to support students as they develop executive functioning skills, mathematics skills, and language arts skills.

  • School-Based Opportunities for Select Middle School Students: Each middle school has summer learning opportunities designed to support students as they develop: mathematics, language arts, and problem-solving skills.

School staff will contact families of students who will be invited in the coming weeks. The total number of students that can attend school-based programs is based on the number of teachers at the school available to work this summer.

There are also a variety of summer enrichment programs open to all students. Information on how to register for these programs is available on the FCPS Summer Learning webpage.


COVID Recovery Services Available for Special Education Students

Special education COVID recovery services may be considered for any student with a disability whose Individualized Education Program (IEP) Team or Section 504 Committee determines there remains a significant educational impact due to the COVID-19 school closure and the virtual learning this school year. Recovery services are designed to address learning gaps and are determined by IEP Teams or 504 Committees.

Not all students with disabilities will require COVID recovery services. COVID recovery services are based on whether or not the student continued making progress in the general education curriculum, or alternative course of study specified in their IEP/504 plan or toward meeting their IEP goals, and/or if any significant regression occurred during the period of school closure.

IEP Teams and 504 Committees will use a variety of data sources including individual student progress data, teacher assessments, and parent input when considering COVID recovery services. If the IEP Team or 504 Committee decides a student requires recovery services, the team will determine the amount and type of recovery service that is required to address the individual student’s needs.

If you think that your child may require COVID recovery services, please contact your child’s IEP/504 case manager to further discuss and schedule a meeting for the IEP team or 504 committee to consider the need for recovery services.

Additional information regarding FCPS’ Summer Recovery Academy is available online

Coronavirus Devastating Cities Across India; Impact Felt by Indian-American Students and Families

As India experiences a most severe coronavirus crisis this week, the emotional turmoil of this situation is felt by Fairfax County Public Schools students, families, and employees with connections to the country. Many may be struggling to come to terms with the contrast of life in the U.S. where vaccination rates are increasing and virus rates are going down, with the reality of life for families in India where the coronavirus is surging. These articles from The Atlantic and the New York Times provide information on the crisis in India and how Indian Americans are coping. 

As an Indian American. I have spent time these last few weeks making calls and sending messages through WhatsApp trying to find out how my family is doing. I feel the worry of many of our families who may also have loved ones in India. My heart and thoughts are with my families and all the people in India.

As we all experience the ongoing global crisis, FCPS staff will continue to monitor the situation; providing supports and resources for anyone (students and staff) in need of them.

Emergency Broadband Benefit Available to Some Families

computer

The Federal Communications Commission has launched a temporary program to help families and households struggling to afford Internet service during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Emergency Broadband Benefit provides a discount of up to $50 per month toward broadband service for eligible households. Eligible families can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers. This is not an FCPS-funded program. It is a way for families to potentially access a more reliable hard-wired internet connection at a higher bandwidth than the “basic” packages provide.

Eligible households can enroll through a participating broadband provider or directly with the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) using an online or mail in application.

Learn about the benefit, including eligibility and enrollment information, by visiting  www.fcc.gov/broadbandbenefit, or by calling 833-511-0311.

FCPS Students Work for Women’s Representation in FCPS Curriculum

WEAR Organization (Women for Education, Advocacy, & Rights) was founded in August of 2020 by FCPS student Prasidha Padmanabhan to fight for the rights, representation, and equality for women. Starting with a change.org petition to increase the representation of women in FCPS curricula, Prasidha began WEAR’s student-led approach in the fight for gender equality in education, and the petition now has over 5000 signatures in support, and the organization is achieving real change! Prasidha Padmanabhan, and the rest of the current Executive Board members, Aashna Johri (sophomore), Becca Jeffries (sophomore), Vani Gupta (sophomore), Christal Wang (sophomore), Garv Jain (freshman), Sherry Yu (sophomore), and Shivani Kanjerla (freshman), are all FCPS students. WEAR collaborated with FCPS Social Studies staff to amend curriculums, and the executive board has created several lessons and learning experiences highlighting women in the civil war that will be used this year as a part of the 6th grade Civil War curriculum.
