Message from Ms. Kearns

Hello Bruins! Changing the calendar to June means it is a time of celebration.  We are grateful to the families and staff who have given time to recognize our award recipients. We want to congratulate our spring sports teams still competing. We have an adjusted schedule for 7th through 11th graders on Monday, and we look forward to honoring and celebrating the Class of 2023. 

Go Bruins!
Lindsey Kearns

Update From the Library

It’s that time of year for students to return to the school library any Lake Braddock library books they still have checked out from this school year.  All books are due June 2. If your student is still reading a library book, please encourage them to return library book(s) before the end of the school year.

A labeled return cart stands outside the library, as well as a return bin immediately inside the library door.  If a book cannot be found, please report to a librarian.  There are no fines or fees – we just want to round up our books at the end of the school year to put back on our library shelves!

Any questions, please contact the library staff at lbsslibrary@fcps.edu.


Last Chance to Complete the Family Liaison Survey

If you haven’t yet completed the Family Liaison Survey, please take a moment to do so. We will use your feedback to plan events that more closely fit your interests.

FCPS Information

No-Cost Mental Health Teletherapy for High School Students Now Available

FCPS has partnered with Hazel Health to offer virtual mental health services to high school students via live video sessions. Parents/caregivers who have been struggling to find a therapist for their child or who notice changes in their child’s behavior are able to connect them virtually with a licensed therapist. Teletherapy is available Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. The first step for parents is to provide information through an opt-in form. Visit FCPS’ Teletherapy webpage for details.


Don’t Forget to Check Your Student’s Lunch Balance 

It’s a busy time of year, and we know there are many priorities on families’ plates. As we approach the end of the school year, it is important for families to remember to check their students’ MySchoolBucks account and pay any remaining school meal balance. 

Families who earn less than 185% of poverty level qualify for free and reduced-price meals. However, an application must be completed and submitted each school year to receive that benefit. The application for the 2023-24 school year will be available near the end of August. 

If families have a current balance and think they may be eligible for free and reduced-price meals, please fill out the FRM application for the 2022-23 school year. Get more information about free and reduced-price lunch.

If you are interested in helping to relieve lunch debt for families currently going through the FRM application process, please donate to Educate Fairfax.
