Are you a rising 6th grade student and have never stepped foot into Poe Middle School? Are you feeling anxious about Middle School in general? Would you like to meet other students and teachers at Poe? If you answered yes to any of these questions, JumpStart is a great opportunity to get this middle school thing figured out early! Come and get a “jump start” on meeting students, staff, and learning your way around the building while having a lot of fun in the process! The event is free and transportation (if needed) and breakfast/lunch will be provided. We hope to see you there!
Please reach out to Tyler Miller (tmiller@fcps.edu) or Phil Harsh (pgharsh@fcps.edu) if you have any questions.

The FCPS Office of Intervention and Prevention Services will offer virtual Mental Wellness Consultations from June 26 to August 4. Any FCPS parent or secondary student can schedule a 45-minute consultation with a school psychologist or school social worker by phone or videoconference. Consultations will be offered in two ways:
- Directly to parents of students in any grade level. This consultation provides an opportunity for parents to receive guidance on how to support their child’s social, emotional, and academic success. Information about community resources will also be provided.
- Directly to students in middle or high school. This consultation provides an opportunity for middle and high school students to receive guidance and support for concerns related to anxiety, mood, behavior, peer or family interactions, or school transitions and changes. Strategies and tools can also be provided to address academic challenges such as organization and time management.
All parents and secondary students are encouraged to take advantage of this service. Consultations can be requested online or by calling 703-503-2520 and leaving a message.
