Justice Junction - Community News & Updates - May 10, 2024

May 10, 2024

Hello Justice HS Students, Families, and Community Members:

 

As Teacher Appreciation Week draws to a close, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you for your overwhelming support of our dedicated educators. Your kindness and recognition mean the world to us, and your efforts truly make a difference in uplifting our teachers.

A special note of gratitude to our PTSA for their generous sponsorship of the raffle—our teachers were thrilled by the thoughtful gesture, and it made this week even more special for them.

Our teachers play an invaluable role in shaping the minds and futures of our students, and we are deeply grateful for their commitment to our Justice community.

With only 22 days left in the 2023-2024 school year, let's rally together and finish strong. Your continued support and encouragement are key to our collective success.

As we celebrate Mother's Day this weekend, I wish all the mothers in our community a wonderful and well-deserved celebration.

Thank you once again for your ongoing support and dedication.

 

Tiffany I. Narcisse, Principal

Empower our school, embrace our community, and educate to build positive futures as global citizens together.

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.
