Hello Justice HS Students, Families, and Community Members:

Excitingly, our Electives Fair held yesterday was a resounding success, showcasing the diversity and richness of our academic offerings. The students’ enthusiasm and engagement made it a remarkable event as we begin to plan for the 2024-2025 school year.

As we look forward to the upcoming MLK holiday on Monday, please be aware that we might encounter another round of inclement weather early next week. Stay informed by closely monitoring the forecast and keeping an eye out for any email communications from the district.

Wishing everyone a wonderful and safe MLK holiday weekend. Thank you for being an integral part of our vibrant Justice High School community.

 

Tiffany I. Narcisse, Principal

Empower our school, embrace our community, and educate to build positive futures as global citizens together.

 Class of 2024 Financial Aid Completion Workshop 

Please plan on attending the Financial Aid Completion Workshop on Saturday, January 20^th at 10:00 AM. 

This workshop will be led by College Access Fairfax and supported by JHS staff. We will be assisting families with completing the 2024 -2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Please bring the following items if you are planning on attending: 

• A Parent or Guardian.
• An FCPS-issued laptop.
• FSA ID account (username and password) - Students and contributors must create separate FSA ID accounts to access and complete the form.
• Social security numbers of parent(s) and student
• 2022 Tax returns
• Records of child support received (*if applicable)
• Current balances of cash, savings, and checking accounts
• Net worth of investments, businesses, and farm

In case of inclement weather, we will follow the FCPS weather guidelines and reschedule the workshop.

 

Snow Days This Winter

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):

• Elementary school instruction: Red Apple 21
• Middle school instruction: Channel 25
• High school instruction: Channel 99

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.

 

No-Cost Mental Health Teletherapy for All High School Students

Is your high schooler experiencing anxiety, behavior changes, or challenges with peer and family relationships? If so, parents/caregivers can refer their children for weekly therapy with a licensed therapist through Hazel Health. Visit the Teletherapy webpage for information on how to opt your child in to this service.

 

Tutor.com Can Help With More Than Homework

 

Tutor.com offers more than help with homework! This on-demand tutoring service also provides a comprehensive range of resources including exam prep for AP, SAT, and ACT tests at no cost to families.  

Students can take practice quizzes at any time. If they struggle in particular areas, they can immediately connect to a live tutor for help through voice or chat options. Learn more on the FCPS Tutor.com webpage.
