Eating Disorder Parent Information
The Code of Virginia, 22.1-273.2 requires Virginia Public Schools to provide, on an annual basis, parent educational information regarding eating disorders for students in grades five through twelve.
According to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA 2023),
Eating disorders are serious but treatable mental and physical illnesses that can affect people of all genders, ages, races, religions, ethnicities, sexual orientations, body shapes, and weights. In the United States, 28.8 million Americans will suffer from an eating disorder at some point in their lives.
There is no single cause of an eating disorder. Rather, it is a complex combination of biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors that converge and set off an individual’s predisposed genetic vulnerability.
In collaboration with the Fairfax County Health Department, FCPS has developed a web page with detailed information and resources to be provided to parents and guardians of Fairfax County Public Schools. This information may be found at Eating Disorders.

eSports has arrived!
Today is the day! eSports will be held as an after-school activity, with a specific focus on camaraderie and unity to foster a positive and supportive community among our students. Students will learn that competitive video gaming requires strategic thinking, teamwork, and even quick reflexes to makes split-second decisions. These skills are invaluable in today's fast-paced and technology-driven world. Just like traditional team sports, our students will need to work together to achieve their goals!
ESports in FCPS began in 2021, and is part of the Virginia High School League (VHSL), just like football, basketball, volleyball, etc. Cedar Lane is NOT joining esports as VHSL. We will compete with other schools that are not part of VHSL both in our county and other counties.
It is important to note that we will ensure a safe and controlled environment for our students during eSports sessions. We have implemented regulations and guidelines to protect and provide a positive experience. We have a Phenomenal Coach, Ms. Bobe, who will work closely to ensure the kids are as prepared as possible for competition, monitor activities and ensure that appropriate behavior is maintained.
Below is important information to start:
Day and Time- Each Wednesday from 2:45- 4:45
Games for the 2023-2024 school year- Rocket League and Super Smash Brothers
Coach- Ms. Bobe avbobe@fcps.edu
Location- Cedar Lane School- Room 128
Transportation- Late Buses/ After School buses will transport students home after practice
Permission to Participate- A permission participation form is required by FCPS (going home with interested kids)
Security- Students cannot access the game(s) until after 2:45, as set by network security.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are more than happy to address any queries you may have. Thank you for your continued support in providing our students with innovative and enriching opportunities.
Help Support Cedar Lane School
https://educatefairfax.app.neoncrm.com/forms/cedar-lane-campaign
Cedar Lane is a Public Day High School serving students receiving special education services in grades 9 through 12. The mission of Cedar Lane is grounded in Excellence, Equity and Opportunity and we believe that every student deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of their background or circumstances. We are dedicated to creating a learning environment that is inclusive, supportive, and challenging for all students.
Cedar Lane School is not a “traditional high school”, therefore is not privileged to the funding, opportunities or supports that other high schools have. Cedar Lane believes that every child should have equal experiences and opportunities and it is OUR MISSION to provide our students with a nurturing and empowering high school experience, where they can thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.
Your contribution will go a long way in making a tangible difference in the lives of our students and staff. Here are just a few examples of how your donation can create a lasting impact:
-
After School Activities and Enrichment Programs: Please help support our ESPORTS program at Cedar and the Cedar Lane Boxing Club. We believe in the power of extracurricular activities to broaden our students' horizons and develop their talents. However, due to financial constraints, we are unable to offer a wide range of enriching programs. We would like to offer after school tutoring, coding club, and a host of other experiences. By contributing to our campaign, you can help us provide opportunities for our students to explore their interests and discover new passions.
-
Prom, Graduation and Senior Trip: Cedar Lane is a small school, but we want our seniors to have a memorable graduation and prom here at Cedar Lane. Like other high schools, we would also like to offer our seniors a senior trip. Your donation could help us make these experiences possible and amazing for our students.
-
Cedar Corner - This year, Cedar Lane started a food pantry and clothing closet for our students with the support of the Young Men’s Service League and Food for Others. Donations to our campaign will help to keep our pantry stocked with clothes and food and help purchase items that may not be provided.
-
Educational Field Trip Experiences and Resources: With limited funding, we struggle to provide our students with experiences outside of Cedar Lane and the up-to-date technology, and classroom supplies they need. Your donation will enable us to enhance their learning experiences and provide them with life changing opportunities to explore and engage in exhibitions of learning.
-
Building Wide Positive Behavior Support System-Cedar Lane has a PBIS system, in which students are able to earn rewards for positive behavior and choices. Your donation can help support the PBIS program at Cedar Lane, as the students thrive with this intervention.
-
Beautification: Throughout the year we want to enhance the look/features of our building. Funds are needed to beautify the grounds and to ensure our students are proud to walk into Cedar Lane on a daily basis. Your donation could help keep the outside learning space clean and garden a usable space, the grounds nice and clean, and offer the opportunities to purchase up to date benches and furniture for our building.
No donation is too small, and every contribution counts. Your generosity will not only change the lives of our deserving students but also contribute to the betterment of the entire Fairfax community. On behalf of Cedar Lane, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your consideration and support. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of our children and empower them to achieve their dreams. Thank you for being a beacon of hope and inspiration in our community.
