Family Engagement Survey

Dear GBW Families,

 

Recently, you should have received an email from Fairfax County Public Schools regarding our Family Engagement Survey which will be open from Sunday, March 3, to Friday, March 22.  These results will be reported out across the division to help school principals and school leaders to make informed decisions regarding each individual school.  At Greenbriar West, Mr. Cook and I will receive a detailed report that we will be sharing out with our teachers as part of our continuing plans for improvement. 

 

We sincerely value this feedback, and our promise is we will read all the feedback results, and carefully consider how to use this feedback to improve our school and our community.  If you have time, please take a moment to take the family engagement survey by searching your email for this subject, “Your feedback matters! Complete our FCPS Family Engagement Survey”.

Thank you again for your feedback contributions and we look forward to hearing from our families.  If you are having trouble finding the survey or have any questions about the survey, you can find more resources and access the survey itself using this site: Family Engagement Survey 

 

Sincerely,

Mr. Blount and Mr. Cook

National School Social Work Week

March 3-9 is National School Social Work Week. Social workers in FCPS help to prevent social, emotional, and behavioral factors from affecting a student's ability to perform at their best. Their primary goal is to remove barriers that prevent a student from fulfilling their academic potential. Social workers are assigned to every school and center in the school system. We are lucky to have our Social Worker, Emily Carleton, at GBW!!! She is a wonderful support to our students and families! Learn more about the role of social workers in FCPS.
