Dear SoCo Family,
I hope all of you are doing well as summer break is coming to an end and we’re all preparing for an exciting return to school. I just have a few brief updates to share with you.
First, I have reminders about a few important dates to keep in mind.
August 18 -
New Student Orientation (11:00-1:30 for all students new to the SC community) and Stallion Stampede (2:00-4:00 for ALL students)
Students will be able to access their schedule electronically and we will also have hard copies available at this event.
August 22 - First day of school!!!
August 26 -
Stallion Kick-off (5:00-7:00pm). This is the night of our first home football game, so we’ll have lots of pre-game fun to celebrate and get everyone in the mood for a great evening.
Besides these events, I want to give a shout-out to our NHS and SGA students who came to school this past week to serve as models for the National Association of Secondary School Principals. These students donated their time and had pictures and videos taken to celebrate being leaders within our school. Their images are going to be printed as posters to be hung in our school, as well as being posted on our website. We should have the posters in our hands within the next few weeks, and I’ll certainly let you know when that’s done.
During this photoshoot, I enjoyed spending time with all of our students and getting to know them. I was especially appreciative of the input that was given to me by Brandon, Michele, Abel, Leyan, Yasmeen, and Maya. The input I received about ways they hope to enjoy the school year was priceless. I can’t wait to hear even more ideas from students in the coming weeks and months.
Lastly, I’d like to highlight that we have a car wash sponsored by the SCHS Cheerleaders this Saturday, August 13 from 9:00-2:00. Here’s a digital flyer with a few more details:

Family Life Education Instructional Program Information
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) provides a comprehensive, sequential Family Life Education (FLE) program for students in grades kindergarten through grade twelve. Instruction is seen as a partnership among parents and guardians, the school, and the community in supporting the learning essential to the development of strong families, positive relationships, and a healthy community.
Parents/guardians may choose to opt their child out of all or part of the Family Life Education program. Students who are opted out are provided with age-appropriate, nonpunitive alternative health instruction, and every effort is made to foster respect for family choices. If you wish to opt your child out of all or part of FLE for this school year, opt out forms will be included in your child’s back-to-school/orientation packets and are available online for Elementary (K-6), Middle School (7-8), and High School (9-12). Please fill in the opt-out form and return it to your child’s school prior to Family Life Education instruction.
Detailed grade-level program descriptions are available online at Elementary (K-6) , Middle School (7-8) , and High School (9-12). FLE grade level-specific lessons and media that FCPS has streaming rights for are available for parents online in Schoology. Parents/guardians login to Schoology using the same username and password as their Student Information System (SIS) Parent account. Grade level-specific lessons are also available at the City of Fairfax Regional Library (this location does not have media). Grade level-specific lessons and media that is not streamed online are available for review at your child’s school library. Due to copyright permissions, we are unable to stream all media online.
Program questions may be addressed at your child’s school or by contacting Instructional Services at 571-423-4550 or fle@fcps.edu.
I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the upcoming events.
