Happy New Year, Braddock Family!
On behalf of the Braddock staff, I would like to extend my warmest wishes for a very Happy New Year filled with joy, good health, and prosperity.
This past year has undoubtedly presented its share of challenges, but through it all, the spirit of community that binds the Braddock families has shone brightly. We’ve seen firsthand the strength of your support for one another.
May the New Year bring forth exciting opportunities and fresh beginnings. May your homes be filled with warmth and laughter and may your path be lit with joy, successes, and good fortune.
From the bottom of my heart, I wish you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year. May 2024 be your best year yet!
Sincerely,
Principal, K. Jackson-Muir

In this video, Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid interviews the Fosters, a family who tragically lost their son Cayden to a half pill of fentanyl mistaken for Percocet. This heart-wrenching yet eye-opening video of their experience is essential to raise awareness among parents/caregivers and students about the dangers of fake painkillers.
Please join Dr. Reid on Wednesday, January 10, at 6:30 p.m., at Edison High School for a community conversation about opioid awareness. You may register to attend. However, registration is not required; it is simply for space considerations.
The evening’s program is appropriate for parents/caregivers and students in grades 6-12. All attendees will receive free REVIVE! Narcan training during the event and learn about support services currently available within FCPS and Fairfax County.
FCPS’ website also has resources to help you to start the conversation and additional support for families struggling with substance misuse.
Fairfax County Public Schools believes that academic success is built on the foundation of a safe learning environment. This includes physical safety, and mental health and wellness.
FCPS has a comprehensive approach to safety that involves physical security measures, online monitoring by security staff, and crisis intervention support. The division has created the Safe Students, Safe Schools Brochure (PDF) to enhance your awareness of potential hazards and to equip you with practical tips for how you can help. Visit the FCPS website for more information.
Attending school every day is critical for success.
If you are having a difficult time attending school, please tell a trusted adult at your school.
