October
Mr. Whaley's sixth grade class prepares for Language Arts
Social and Emotional Learning Activities and Screener
Students in grades K-2 will no longer participate in the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) screener. Instead, the Child Behavior Rating Scale administered in kindergarten, existing attendance, and behavior data will be used to determine necessary social emotional instruction and supports. School teams will use these measures alongside family input, as they develop their understanding of students’ needs and strategies to support them.Students in grades 3-12 will be able to participate in the SEL screener. School teams and families use this information to develop positive school cultures and support students academically and personally. This year, students will participate in the screener in the fall (October/November) and spring (March).
Parents are able to opt their child out of taking the SEL screener. Read more about SEL and signature practices online.
Our Voices, Our Future
Fairfax County Public Schools is launching the engagement phase that will help us develop our brand new Strategic Plan.
During her Community Conversations listening tour in each high school pyramid, Superintendent Michelle Reid has heard from many of you about your hopes and aspirations for our students. That feedback will become part of our proactive strategic plan that will serve as our North Star—or guide—for the future.
Starting in October, we will be inviting the entire FCPS community to engage in building our shared future. This includes hearing from our parents and caregivers, students, and broader community, as well as surveying students in grades three and above. You will have an opportunity to have your voice heard in one of many sessions (both in-person and virtual) during November and December. We encourage you to join us in this journey by actively participating in the conversation.
The goal is to have the final strategic plan by June 2023. For a more detailed overview, visit FCPS’ Strategic Planning webpage.

 Ms. Scott's fifth grade class is learning a new approach to fractions (above) while Ms. Alwood's sixth grade class learns estimation.
Overview of Advanced Academics
Last week Brookfield held its Advanced Academic Informational meeting for families to learn more about the program services offered at Brookfield. We discussed some of the amazing opportunities all our students have daily to access critical and creative thinking skills and utilize advanced academic program resources.
