Hello Justice HS Students, Families, and Community Members: 
Our Family Engagement Survey is coming to your email the afternoon of Sunday, March 13th. Please participate—your feedback is critical in helping to inform and improve FCPS’ practices to best support our students.
Taking this survey will also help strengthen the partnership between your family and your school. When that partnership is strong, students can experience a range of benefits including improved school readiness, higher student achievement, and better social skills and behavior.
FCPS is partnering with independent firm K12 Insight to administer the survey, and it will be available in eight languages. For more information, please watch this short video from Superintendent Brabrand and visit the Family Engagement Survey webpage. Your voice matters!
Read below for amazing opportunities and important news for students and parents. Please let me know if you have any questions.
