Social Emotional Learning Screener Reports
Twice a year, students in grades 3-12 share their perspectives on how well their school and community help them develop skills they need to succeed through the Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener. These skills include achieving goals, understanding and managing emotions, establishing and maintaining relationships with adults and peers, and making responsible decisions. Students also share how successful their school and community are at making them feel valued, included, and supported. These factors are critical to positive academic, social, and emotional success.
Spring 2023 SEL Screener results will be mailed to families in mid-May. The Social Emotional Learning Screener Parent/Guardian Report and Guide has been updated to better reflect how SEL Screener results are used to support school and districtwide planning, in addition to supports for individual students. Visit the FCPS SEL Screener webpage for information in multiple languages, including tips for talking with your student about the report and strategies for strengthening SEL at home.
 We are making preparations for the 2023-2024 academic year!

Make Sure Your Child Is Up-to-Date on Vaccines
All students are required to be immunized against certain communicable diseases to attend school in Virginia. It is important for all students to receive the required immunizations.
Please talk with your family healthcare provider about whether or not your children are up to date on their vaccines before the new school year begins. Submit updated immunization records to your school as soon as possible. Get more information on immunization requirements and the necessary documentation.
 While there are no tickets for the ceremony, we ask that each student limit their guests to no more than three (3).
- Students will be directed to sit in the front rows of the gym, according to their homeroom teacher, and alphabetically. These seats will be labeled with teacher names. Parents will be asked to sit behind the students in a separate section. During the ceremony, students will be asked to stand and face the audience when their teacher announces their name, however, no certificates will be handed out at the ceremony. We will be giving out select band/strings/chorus awards.
- All 6th grade students will receive their packet of certificates on Friday, June 16th, the last day of school (along with their report cards). All certificate packets will be in the main office, should your child not be in school on the last day.
- Students will not be permitted to have their cell phones during the ceremony. Of course, there will be opportunities to take some photos at the end of the ceremony.
- Students are encouraged to dress-up for this ceremony. It is their big day after all!

Positivity Project - Week of May 8, 2023
 |
|
This week’s character strength is Self-Control. Those who possess this strength have the ability to control their emotions and behaviors and think before they act. Self-control is the act of managing behavior in a way that positively influences goal attainment and living up to standards. Possessing this strength protects people from destabilizing emotional extremes. Those with self-control are able to limit impulsive behavior. They have the ability to experience and navigate difficulty while remaining poised. For individuals, self-control helps them delay the short-term gain in pursuit of a greater, long-term success.
Next week’s focus: Other People Mindset
