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. Most social workers serve one to two sites. Learn more about the role of social workers in FCPS.

Our Mustangs will have an opportunity to make their marks every day with the help of an important quality, problem solving. By using problem-solving, you may effectively determine the course of action for your work. Organization and the ability to prioritize are key when solving simple or complex problems. These abilities will also help you have better time-management. Refining your problem-solving skills will enable you to solve more difficult problems. In addition, helping others recognize and use their strengths and potential can also be effective with solving a problem in a group. Throughout this month, consider having a discussion with your Mustang about the importance of problem solving. If possible, take some time to research ways to improve the skills and abilities necessary for effective problem solving. This is a great way for Mustangs to earn Mustang Marks and show how remarkable they are!

We are continuing our awesome MUES tradition with our 6th grade students. Every year 6th graders make a graduation cap in art for their 6th grade promotion to middle school. If you have any extra craft supplies at home you would like to donate: yarn, ribbon, beads, stickers, sticker letters, pompoms, acrylic paint, anything you could use to decorate a hat! Please consider donating to the art department! You can drop them off anytime to McNair Upper to Jessica Coe- Room 242.
