 Hello Mustangs,
This week has been a whirlwind of celebration and learning! We proudly celebrated Purple Up! for Military Children, explored future possibilities during Stallions for Success, learned from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and saw our 8th graders make a difference through the 8th Grade Day of Service. We are so proud of how our students participated in these diverse and impactful events – it's been a week that embodies character, community, and curiosity. As always, thank you for all you do, and please let us know if you have any questions, feedback, or concerns. Enjoy your weekend!

Math SOL Letters to Students
The SCMS Math teachers are seeking your support! We are planning to surprise students with encouraging letters on the morning of their Math SOL. We would love for these notes to come from family members / important people in their lives. To streamline this process and track who has letters, we are asking families to complete one Google form entry with their words of encouragement and support. Please click on the link below and respond no later than Friday, April 26th so we have enough time to ensure letters are ready for students before the math SOL. We are limited to one response per student per household, so please work together if multiple family members would like to contribute. Remember, this is a surprise, so please don’t mention it to your student(s)!

For families with multiple students at SCMS, please email Molly Miller (mkmiller@fcps.edu) directly to be able to submit another form.
School Health Services Satisfaction Survey April 15 - 26, 2024
The Fairfax County Health Department (FCHD) and Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) School Health Services invites parents/guardians of FCPS students to participate in a survey requesting feedback on the level of satisfaction with School Health services provided to the school community.
FCHD employs school health aides and public health nurses who provide school health services to the students in FCPS. To determine the quality of these services, a survey has been developed by the FCHD to be shared with all parents or guardians who interact with the school health rooms. The survey will open on April 15, 2024 and will remain open until April 26, 2024. The survey should take approximately five minutes to complete.
Submit your survey.
There will be a speech and hearing clinic sponsored by the Fairfax County Health Department. Please click on this link for more information.
