6th Grade Cultural Thanksgiving Brunch
Last Tuesday, our 6th grade students shared presentations about their family heritage and cultures. There were stories about families immigrating to America, stories about deceased loved ones, and heartfelt memories shared about students’ family culture and history. Additionally, each student brought in a food item that was special to their family. Students and parents attending the event were provided the chance to sample the different foods and treats. We love our rich diversity at GBW and thank you, 6th graders, for sharing your heritage and culture with us!
Turkey Trot
A Big Thank You to all of our students who participated in our annual Turkey Trot last week! This event provided a great opportunity for students with and without disabilities to participate in a festive athletic competition / activity together as a GBW community.
Amazing Pandas
Please join us in congratulating our students who competed with their team, Tech Tigers, in a regional event at Osbourne Park High School in Manassas, Virginia on 11/19/23. Among the 37 teams participating, the Tech Tigers were chosen to compete at a state level competition hosted by James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA on December 10, 2023.
The Innovation Project presented by the Tech Tigers was Chess for the Blind. A huge thank you to Mrs. Webster and her team for providing the students with great feedback throughout the development process.
Congratulations!! We are so Proud of you all!!
Social & Emotional Learning Screener Results
Coming Soon
One of the ways FCPS supports the mental wellness of all students is the SEL Screener.
Students in grades 3-12 took the SEL Screener during the month of October, providing information on their skills like achieving goals, understanding and managing emotions, establishing and maintaining relationships with adults and peers, and making responsible decisions.
The SEL Screener also helps students evaluate their school community’s efforts to make them feel valued, included, and supported. Screener data is used to create the learning, experiences, and environments students need to be successful.
Beginning in early December, individual student SEL Screener results will be available to families in SIS ParentVUE. For families who do not have an active ParentVUE account, results will be sent via postal mail.
For more information about the screener please visit the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener webpage. For support in understanding your individual student’s results or for ideas on how to support them at home, please review the Family Guide or contact your student’s school.
Full-Time AAP Referral Forms & Optional Materials due by
Deadline December 15.
Please submit all forms and materials to the school or to
Michelle Wilbern mkwilbern@fcps.edu.
If you would like your child to be screened please submit required information early.
