Dear Justice Families,
Happy Memorial Day Weekend.
This Tuesday will mark the final day of school for the Class of 2021. Beginning Wednesday, June 2, all school materials, textbooks, laptops, and computer accessories will be collected during Senior Checkout appointments through Wednesday, June 3. (Appointment emails were sent Thursday, May 27). Students will also receive their cap and gown as well as other goodies.
We had our virtual graduation rehearsal for our seniors last week. Students couldn’t rehearse together with the actual setup, but our graduation will be memorable and beautiful because we will be together. Colleen Lally, Beth Buffenbarger, and several staff members have spent a lot of time getting us ready for our outdoor graduation. We are lucky to have so many professionals in the building who consistently rise above our expectations--and I know our graduation will be another excellent example!
For our underclassmen, just a reminder that beginning Friday, June 4, school dismissal is at 11:35 AM. We will have grab-and-go lunches for students. The last day of school (June 11) dismissal is at 10:20 AM.
Have a great weekend!
We are One – We are Justice!

For the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year, FCPS will be requiring students and staff to continue to wear masks and socially distance during instructional time in the school building.
There has been updated guidance for events and activities outside of instructional time in the school building. This website will give you the latest information.
As the year is coming to a close, below is some important information regarding schedules and textbook and laptop return. This year, all books, calculators, and laptops will need to be returned to school. All laptops must be reimaged, cleaned, and reset for next school year. If these items are not returned by the end of the year, you will be charged with the costs. Also, laptops will not be functional next year if they are not reimaged/reset over the summer. All underclassmen will have their laptops reissued before school begins in August. Please see below for detailed information.

Effective July 1, 2021, rising seniors are required to have one dose of Meningococcal Vaccine (MenACWY, Menactra, or Menveo). This requirement is for all current 11th graders/rising seniors. Parents or guardians should ask their private healthcare provider, or the health department, to review their student's immunization record to ensure that their student has received these required immunizations. If you need to submit an updated immunization record, please send it/drop it off to Ms. Maddie Orozco in Student Services. More information on new immunization requirements is available here.
Twelfth grade students cannot begin school in August without documentation of the Meningococcal vaccine with one dose given at age 16 or older.
Tuesday, June 8, is the Democratic Primary Election. Because the Fairfax County Electoral Board and City of Fairfax Electoral Board will be using 165 school facilities as polling locations, June 8 will be a virtual synchronous learning day (no in-person classes) for students.
Get more information about the primary elections.
Summer Credit Recovery is an opportunity for students to recover two high-school course credits. Students may take one course per session. Please contact your student's counselor for more information, or see the Summer School Registration Website
