"It's been a wonderful start to the 4th quarter for music! We have been celebrating Arab-American artists in April for Arab-American Heritage Month and look forward to celebrating Asian-American/Pacific Islander musicians in May. Our 3rd graders have had a fantastic journey learning to play their recorders. At the end of the month, those students will finish the recorder unit and take their instruments home to share what they have learned with you. Rising 4th and 5th graders will soon be receiving information concerning music electives for the 2024-25 school year. Rising 4th graders have the opportunity to participate in Strings and Chorus, and rising 5th graders may choose between Strings and Band in addition to Chorus. Official sign-up forms will be sent home in May. We hope you will join us for the Chorus, Band, and Strings Spring Concert on May 16th, 2024, at 7 PM at Bren Mar Park!"

Participants may also join online sessions, which will provide supports for students with disabilities and their families.

The Fairfax County Health Department (FCHD) employs school health aides and public health nurses who provide school health services to the students in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS).
To determine the quality of these services, a survey has been developed by the FCHD to be shared with all parents or guardians of FCPS students and will be shared via email. The survey window is April 15 - April 26, 2024.
Survey results will provide a basis for quality improvement of School Health services.
