Dear Lake Anne Family,
Last week's "Weekly Wave" was not delivered due to a system glitch. Thank you to all of our staff and parent volunteers who have supported our 6th Grade Basketball Teams and Splash Squad! Our dolphins had a great time due to the efforts of all who planned and supported the game.
Next week we will have a Spring Spirit Week. We hope to see all of our students and staff participating in these fun spirit days created by our Student Ambassadors. You can find the full schedule below!
Finally, we hope that everyone will support our upcoming Dining for Dollars PTA event at the Village Commons Chic-Fil-A on March 27, 2023.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Mrs. Stewart, Principal
Dr. Rogers, Assistant Principal
 Inspirigirl is a nonprofit educational group run by students at Thomas Jefferson High School (TJHSST) that provides free computer science classes, workshops, and events for students with a focus on encouraging girls to participate in computer science.
We will be holding our free Spring 2023 virtual computer science classes this year between April and May, and all students are welcome! We offer various coding courses for all different age and level groups. Classes are completely free thanks to our teaching volunteers!

We are excited that Food and Nutrition Services is re-introducing the salad bar at Lake Anne! The salad bar is an excellent way for students to add a variety of fruits and veggies to their lunch! Please see the flyer below for the information we will share with our students regarding the salad bar.
FCPS has partnered with Hazel Health to begin offering virtual mental health services to high school students via live video sessions. Starting Monday, April 10, parents/caregivers who have been struggling to find a therapist for their child or who notice changes in their child’s behavior will be able to connect them virtually with a licensed therapist.
Teletherapy services for students are short-term, evidence-based, and culturally-responsive. Teletherapy is available on any device, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Therapists will be locally-licensed clinicians; 50% of whom identify as Black, Indigenous, or people of color (BIPOC); and 40% of whom are bilingual. More than 15 languages are available.
Hazel Health’s licensed therapists can help students who are experiencing:
- Mood/behavior changes, lack of motivation, grief/loss.
- Anxiety, worry, fears.
- Bullying, sexual identity challenges, challenging peer and family relationships.
- Academic stress.
The first step for parents is to provide information through an opt-in form. Visit FCPS’ Teletherapy webpage for details.
Participants will have an opportunity to learn about the suggested updates and ask questions via Zoom Chat. Language interpretation will be available in Spanish. A certified deaf interpreter will be available as well.
Beginning Monday, March 20, families and staff will also be able to provide feedback on proposed updates to the SR&R via a short survey. Please stay tuned for details. Visit FCPS’ website for more information.
FCPS is provided curriculum updates for families on their public website.
Information will be updated at the start of each school year to reflect curriculum updates. To access the grade level and/or course web pages directly, first search for the level within the Academics page, select grade level or content, and click on Year at a Glance.
Spring pictures will be on April 24. Students will be taking individual and class photos!
