This week we were excited to welcome author Sue Fliess to Navy.  She gave inspiring and engaging presentations to our Kindergarten, First, and Second grade students.  

We also celebrated three winners from the recent Virginia State Chess Tournament.  Puru, Mohil, and Lee turned their passion for the game into a second position win in the K-3 Championship and a sixth position win in the K-5.   Congratulations to these Navy Stars!

Your Views and Opinions Are Important to Us!

Feedback

On Monday, March 18, Navy Elementary parents/guardians will be sent an email containing a link to complete the online FCPS Principal Evaluation Parent/Guardian Feedback Form. This questionnaire is part of the VDOE-mandated Performance Evaluation Program for principals and offers parents/guardians an opportunity to provide anonymous input about various topics related to our school. These topics include how the principal demonstrates/impacts instructional leadership, school climate, management, communication and community relations, culturally responsive and equitable leadership, and professionalism within the school.

The questionnaire will be administered between March 18 and April 5. When you receive an email from FCPS Surveys, please take a few minutes to complete the questionnaire. Your feedback matters!

Kindergarten Orientation is April 17th!
