Every week, we will provide an update on our COVID-19 status to keep you informed. In cooperation with the Fairfax County Health Department we have identified more than one student at Bonnie Brae who has reported testing positive for COVID-19 during the week of January 30 - February 4.

You do not seek the spotlight. You let your actions speak for themselves.

National School Counseling Week 2022 (#NSCW22) is Feb. 7-11, 2022, to focus  on the unique contribution of school counselors. National School Counseling Week, sponsored by ASCA, highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career. We are so grateful to our two amazing school counselors at Bonnie Brae- Lisa Jeffries (K-2 School Counselor) and Laura Kaniewski (3-6 School Counselor). Their hard work and dedication to our Scotties is felt across the school and we are so lucky to have them!
