Principal's Message

Dear Eagle View Families,

I hope this message finds you well and filled with the same excitement and pride I have for our wonderful Eagle View Elementary community. We've had an eventful week filled with enriching experiences and meaningful connections.

Firstly, on Tuesday, our dynamic team of teachers and staff represented our school at the FCPS Portrait of a Graduate (POG) Conference. Their exceptional presentation of learning at the POG POL Conference on Tuesday was a testament to their hard work, dedication, and the incredible support from our staff and families. It was truly a proud moment for me as the principal of Eagle View, and I am eagerly looking forward to witnessing the growth of our students as they continue to develop their POG skills.

On another note, we were honored to have a very special visitor at Eagle View Elementary School this week. Ms. Bernadette Bascom, the founder and Creative Director of the Music Project, graced us with her presence on Monday. The Music Project holds a unique vision focusing on helping students build communication and music skills, all while emphasizing inclusivity in music. Ms. Bascom's visit was not only inspiring but also a wonderful opportunity for our students to engage with the power of music and its ability to foster connection and creativity.

I was especially proud to see our students' artwork displayed at our pyramid art show this week. Their creativity and talent were showcased beautifully, highlighting the artistic growth and expression that we value at Eagle View Elementary.

Looking ahead, I am excited to announce that next week is our second annual Stress Less, Laugh More Week! We have a diverse lineup of fun activities to help our students and staff unwind, including special visits from therapy animals and interactive games. Each day, we will be sharing resources for you to enjoy with your child at home. I encourage you to participate and make the most of this week with your child.

I want to express my deepest gratitude for your continued support and partnership in your child's education journey.

Sincerely,

KJ An

Principal


Social and Emotional Learning Screener Results Coming Soon

FCPS students in grades 3-12 took the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener during March, providing updated information on skills such as achieving goals, understanding and managing emotions, establishing and maintaining relationships with adults and peers, and making responsible decisions. The SEL Screener also helps students evaluate their school community’s efforts to make them feel valued, included, and supported. 

In late April, individual student SEL Screener results will be available for families in the Documents section of SIS ParentVUE. For families who do not have an active ParentVUE account, results will be sent via postal mail. 

Get more information about the screener on the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener webpage. For support in understanding your individual student’s results or ideas on how to support them at home, please review the Family Guide or contact your student’ teacher and our counselors, Mrs. Moody or Ms. Krepinevich.  


Parent Input for Class Placement

As the 2023-2024 school year is coming to a close, Eagle View staff is starting to prepare for the 2024-2025 school year. Class placement is one of the most important tasks that our staff engage in during the last weeks of school. When it comes to class placements, we consider many things, such as heterogeneous groupings, balancing academic abilities, and maximizing the support our resource teachers can provide students. 

 If you feel that there is pertinent information to support your child’s success, please complete this optional Parent Input Form by Friday, May 17th.

Your child’s current classroom teacher, specialists, counselors, and administrators will collaborate to make well-balanced classes. We value and consider your insight into your child’s learning needs. Please note that this system is not intended for families to request specific teachers. 


Summer Arts Camp

Don’t miss out on this summer’s most exciting arts enrichment program! At Elementary Institute for the Arts (E-IFTA), students take art, music, theater, and dance classes daily. E-IFTA is for current second through fifth grade students. Learn more on the E-IFTA webpage. Email EIFTA@fcps.edu with any questions.
