Bridge to Kindergarten
If you have an incoming Kindergartener with little or no formal preschool experience, FCPS is offering a free summer learning program to assist students with a successful transition to kindergarten. For more information about the program or to find out if your incoming kindergarten student is eligible for the program, contact Julie Gminski at jagminski@fcps.edu.
SEL Screener Results
Students in grades 3-12 took the SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) Screener during the month of March, providing updated information on their SEL skills like achieving goals, understanding and managing emotions, establishing and maintaining relationships, and making responsible decisions.
The screener also asks students how well their school community makes them feel valued, included, and supported.
In late April, individual student SEL Screener results will be available to 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.
For more information about the screener please visit the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener webpage. For support in understanding your individual student’s results or for ideas on how to support them at home, please review the Family Guide or contact your student’s school.
