Student Medications: Pick Up
If your child has medication at school, it must be picked up in person by the last day of school. Medication must be picked up by the parent/guardian. Please connect with Ms. Townes, our school health aid, with any questions at 703.721.2110.
Wanted: Missing Library Books
Today was the day that all library books are due back to Mrs. Daly in the library. Please take a moment to check for any Mount Eagle books at home and return them to school as soon as possible. Some might belong in a classroom, and some might be from the library. Returning them helps ensure that all of our students have access to them next year. Thank you!

School Board Adopts 2024 Budget
The Fairfax County School Board unanimously voted to adopt the FCPS Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Approved Budget at their regularly scheduled Board meeting last Thursday. The budget focuses on closing the achievement gap for all students, and maintaining a world-class public school division by recruiting and retaining outstanding educators.
The FY 2024 Approved Budget totals $3.5 billion—a net increase of $221.7 million or 6.7% over the FY 2023 Approved Budget. Nearly 86% of the Approved Budget is targeted at instruction. Increased security measures and the continuation of green investments are also acknowledged. Read more about the FY 2024 Approved Budget.
