Happy New Year, Greenbriar East Family!

A fresh year has dawned, full of blank pages and endless possibilities. As we return from our holiday break, let's dive into 2024 with hearts overflowing with hope and minds crackling with curiosity. ✨

Let's make this year one of exploration, innovation, and unwavering support. Let's build bridges, break barriers, and leave our mark on the world.

May this year be filled with laughter, learning, and lasting memories. Let's make it a year to remember!

FriYay AttenDANCE 🕺💃

Today's Attendance rate is 82.7 %

As of today, students enrolled at the beginning of the school year that have missed 7 or fewer days of school are helping us reach our goal of 85% (percentage of students not chronically absent). Once we reach our 81st day of school in the next several days, students that have missed 8 or fewer days will help us reach our goal! Thank you for making regular school attendance a priority! We love dancing our way out of the building on Fridays at dismissal when our overall chronic absenteeism rate is below 15%!


Snow Days ❄️

For the current school year, FCPS will be returning to its previous procedure for snow days — there will be no virtual learning days when school is closed due to bad weather. 

During snow days, students may still access Tutor.com, complete any supplemental learning opportunities recommended by their teachers, and view educational programming (available virtually and on public access television channels):

Eleven snow days are built into the existing FCPS calendar. Eliminating virtual learning days will allow us to maximize students’ in-person learning and provide equitable access to instruction and student services.
