Hello Justice HS Students, Families, and Community Members:
Despite a bit of a breeze, last Friday's Spring Fest event was a remarkable success! I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to making it such a memorable occasion.
I'm thrilled to share that our talented All-State Choir and Band students represented Justice High School with grace and skill in Richmond over the weekend. Their outstanding performance was a testament to their hard work and dedication.
As we celebrate Volunteer Appreciation Week, I want to express my deepest gratitude to all the volunteers who selflessly support our students, teachers, and programs at Justice High School. Your contributions are invaluable, and we are truly fortunate to have such a dedicated community.
With gratitude and excitement, I look forward to the wonderful week ahead!
Tiffany I. Narcisse, Principal
Empower our school, embrace our community, and educate to build positive futures as global citizens together.

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’s counselor.
How to Get Help Filling Out the FAFSA
According to recent news reports, as many as 30% fewer graduating seniors have completed and submitted a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Many schools rely upon this form to grant students financial aid award letters.
Families who have questions or persistent issues filling out the FAFSA might consider scheduling a free appointment with our partners at College Access Fairfax. Email appointments@CollegeAccessFairfax.org. All FAFSA help provided by our school or College Access Fairfax is free.
