Most recently he served as the Special Education Department Chair at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology and is a former Special Education teacher. In his spare time, Dr. Dubin enjoys traveling, spending time with his family, and serving schools as interim administrator as needed.

Spring Break, April 3-7 | LTES School & Office Closed
 Our Lions are excited to celebrate Spring Break next week. We hope you have a wonderful, safe, and relaxing time and that our Little Lions are able to fill the break with things that bring them much joy.
Our school office will be closed April 3-7 and will reopen on Monday, April 10th at 7:30 a.m.
Have a wonderful Spring Break!
COVID Test Kits Available
LTES has several COVID-19 at home test kits available for families. If you would like a free home kit, please contact the school office, or stop by to pick up a kit while supplies last.
LTES will distribute kits to students/families prior to Spring Break. Symptoms are not required to receive a kit and we have a two kit limit per family. COVID Test kits will be distributed on a first-come, first served basis
Please note: FCPS is not requiring COVID-19 testing to return to school following Spring Break.
Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow!
This year, spring break is April 3-7. We will be eager to welcome our Lions back to school on Monday, April 10. Their attendance is very important. Every day our teachers will be teaching, and students will be learning. Studies have shown that just two absences per month can cause students to fall behind. Let’s finish this school year strong.
Visit FCPS’ website for attendance resources.

 No-Cost Mental Health Teletherapy for Students Starting April 10
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.
