Yearbooks: Don't Miss Out

Families who ordered a yearbook will have it delivered next Tuesday, June 13 in the their child's Tuesday folder. We have some extras for sale. Please stop by the office with cash or a check. 


Wanted: Missing Library Books

All library books are due back to Mrs. Tucker in the library on Monday, June 5. Please take a moment to check for any Hollin Meadows 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!

State Student Assessment Summary Reports

Virginia school divisions will be distributing a report to parents showing their student’s past Standards of Learning (SOL) testing data. Reports will be provided, through SIS ParentVUE or by mail, for any student who has an SOL testing history in the state of Virginia as of Spring 2022. 

In addition to showing a student’s performance on SOL tests over time, it also shows how that performance compares to other Virginia students who took the same test. This report, along with a companion letter, will be available mid-June. 

FCPS uses various data sources to determine student growth and success. The  Student Assessment Summary Report is just one piece of information in the larger picture of student assessment in FCPS. Learn more about what to expect regarding assessment reporting practices and timelines


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. Fischer, our school health aid, with any questions at 703.718.8300.


Parent Information Phone Line Available in 8 Languages

Parents/caregivers who speak Amharic, Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, Korean, Spanish, Urdu, or Vietnamese may call a telephone information line for general information about FCPS. View the list of phone numbers.


School Board Adopts FY 2024 Budget with Focus on Student Achievement

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.
