GBE Family Input for 2022-2023

The school year 2022-2023 planning has begun! Since we work in partnership with our families to provide a supportive school environment for our students, we would like to invite you to share some information about your child.  This form is not intended for families to request specific teachers.  Rather we are looking for more input to assist us with making the best teacher and student match. 

Class assignments are made by a team. Your child’s current teacher, specialists, upcoming grade-level staff, and administrators collaborate to develop class lists for next school year. This form will be reviewed and considered when we begin this process. Greenbriar East embraces collective responsibility and all of our staff are equipped to meet individual student needs. 

Please complete the information below (one form per child) and submit the form by May 27th.

Student Intention for SY2022-2023

Complete the "Student's Intention For Next School Year" form ONLY for those students that are NOT coming back to GBE for the 2022-2023 school year. Email it to anunez@fcps.edu or send it in to your child's homeroom teacher by May 20th, 2022.

The "Student's Intention For Next School Year" form is used by FCPS to project each school's total enrollment for the next school year. Questions about filling out this form should be directed to GBE's Student Registrar, Araceli Nunez.


2022-2023 Kindergarten Survey

We need your help in projecting the Kindergarten enrollment for the 2022-2023 school year. Virginia Law, section 22.1-254, requires that children who will reach their fifth birthday on or before September 30, 2022, must be enrolled in Kindergarten for the 2022-2023 school year unless the parent or guardian notifies the school

in writing that they do not wish the child to attend school until the following year.

If you have a child who will be five years old on or before September 30, 2022, please complete this form and return it no later than May 31, 2022  to our registrar Araceli Nunez anunez@fcps.edu. If any of your neighbors have children who will be eligible for Kindergarten, please share this information with them, as we are especially interested in reaching those in Greenbriar East families who do not have children currently attending school.

The information on this survey will help the school plan for adequate facilities and personnel for the 2022-2023 school year.

Thank you for your cooperation.
