Congratulations to the the 6th grade Band members for representing Bush Hill Elementary at the first ever Edison Pyramid Band Concert on Thursday, January 25th! The students came to Edison High School on the early release day to learn a song that they played with the pyramid elementary schools, Twain Middle School, and Edison High School.

Fairfax County Public Schools believes in supporting social and emotional learning (SEL) for all students. SEL helps students develop the necessary skills to succeed in various aspects of life. In FCPS, students use a tool called a "screener" to think about their own SEL skills and experiences at school. This screener helps them evaluate how well their school community makes them feel valued, included, and supported.
The screener works by asking questions or presenting statements that students can think about and respond to. Want to learn more about the screener? This webpage includes information about what the screener is, how it benefits our students, and how screener results are used to create a positive and inclusive learning environment. Learn more about SEL in FCPS.
