Principal's Message

Dear Eagle View Families,

I hope this message finds you all well and thriving. As we continue to navigate through this school year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the incredible success of our second annual Music and Arts Night. The evening was a vibrant celebration of creativity, community, and the arts, showcasing the immense talent within our Eagle View family.

The display of students' artwork was nothing short of incredible. It was a testament to the creativity, dedication, and passion our students possess. Seeing the cafeteria transformed into a dynamic folk dance floor, with students, families, and staff members all participating, was a heartwarming sight. It brought me immense joy to witness the connections being forged between families and our dedicated staff members. These moments underscore the strength and warmth of our Eagle View community.

I would like to extend a special shout-out to our specialists' team - Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Albertson, Ms. Jun, Mr. Walby, Mrs. Cortes, Mr. Niehoff, Mrs. Johnson, and Mrs. Brown. Your commitment, enthusiasm, and hard work played a pivotal role in making our Music and Arts Night a resounding success. Furthermore, I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the many staff members who volunteered their time to stay late and ensure the evening was a memorable one. 

As we continue to build on the success of our events and programs, your feedback remains invaluable. I want to remind everyone about the Family Engagement Survey. The link to the survey was sent to your emails on March 3 and will remain open through March 22. Your input is crucial as it helps us better understand your needs and how we can enhance our school community.

For those who prefer a paper version of the survey, we have copies available in multiple languages. Please feel free to stop by the main office to pick one up or request one, and we would be more than happy to send it home with your child.

Lastly, Sunday, March 10, at 2 a.m., daylight saving time begins. Don’t forget to move your clocks ahead one hour! 

Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to our school. Together, we are making Eagle View an exceptional place for our children to learn and grow.

Warmest regards,

KJ An

Principal

ST Math March Madness

STmath

ST Math March Madness is back!  We encourage our students to spend at least 20 minutes on ST Math each night!  We can't wait to celebrate our ST Math winners at the end of March! 


Ramadan

This year, the first full day of Ramadan is Monday, March 11. In Islam, Ramadan is the most sacred month of the year. During this month Muslims abstain from food and drink from dawn to sunset each day while striving to increase their spirituality, through prayers, charity and good deeds. Read more about Ramadan in National Geographic Kids.

March 11 is an O day. The school calendar recognizes many religious and cultural observances (O days) during the school year. There is school on these days, however tests, quizzes, field trips, graduation, homecoming, or FCPS-scheduled athletic events will not be held on these observance days. See the complete 2022-23 school year calendar.

Throughout the year, as we celebrate and recognize various cultural holidays and observances, families are encouraged to contact Mrs. Krepinevich(our family liaison), Mrs. An(principal), or the child's classroom teacher regarding accommodations, including but not limited to those around lunch, prayer/meditation and silent reflection spaces and times, and instruction.
