Attendance Matters!
This is a short student week due to the Teacher Workday on Friday. Please make sure to encourage your students to come to school all four days. We are in the last quarter and want all our students to end this school year successfully. Studies have shown that just two monthly absences can cause students to fall behind. Let’s finish this school year strong.
HOW CAN YOU HELP YOUR TEEN HAVE GOOD ATTENDANCE?
- Don’t let your child stay home unless your child is genuinely sick. Remember that according to the new health guidelines, you can still send your child to school with a headache, stomach pain, or allergies.
- Check your child’s attendance in ParentVUE to be sure absences are not piling up.
- Call the school if your child refuses to come to school; we can help.
Remember...attendance matters!
Congratulations!
We are very happy to announce that four of our students have been selected/invited to attend the 2024 Summer Residential Governor School Program. What an outstanding accomplishment for an extremely competitive program!

- Widad Khalid
- Sagar Kapadia

Let's congratulate these students for their outstanding achievement!

Congratulations...
To Cameron Leo Vargas for being recognized as an employee who shows that FCPS Cares!
Mrs. Vargas is a very cheerful individual and always makes sure that her students leave class with a smile. In a first period Calculus class, my classmates and I are often tired and not in the best mood to do math this early in the morning. Despite this fact, however Mrs. Vargas lightens up our day and helps us develop a learning mindset throughout the day. Her teaching style adapts to the needs of her students and she has repeatedly shown that she is a large influence to her students overall happiness. Mrs. Vargas is a compassionate math teacher that inspires her students to try harder everyday and keep a positive mindset even during endeavors that seem challenging. Many students are grateful that they have her as their teacher and as a mentor. As a Class of 2025 Officer at Falls Church, I am not only able to see her as a teacher but as a class sponsor as well. She goes above and beyond to help organize fundraisers and events to earn money for her students and important high school events like Prom and Graduation. She is a large part of the communication between admin and the students and continues to push for change and progress in her Falls Church community everyday. Thank you Ms. Vargas, we love you so much.
