Free Summer Park Activity for Students and Families
Fairfax County is hosting its first Puzzle Hunt!
When: Launches June 15, 2024
The Solving Fun Puzzle Pals have been hard at work, creating an exhilarating adventure for puzzle solvers. We are thrilled to announce the Fairfax County Puzzle Hunt, a unique community event that will take you on a journey to the wonderful parks in Fairfax County. Starting this summer, solve one puzzle or do them all. Puzzles are filled with creative thinking, logic, and wordplay. They are designed to be challenging and accessible for all skill levels. Solve the puzzles and then find clues at the parks for a final meta-puzzle. Walk, bike, and roll at our wonderful local parks with friends and family. For more information go to www.solvingfun.com/fairfax.

Later this month, you will begin receiving your child’s spring assessment results. If you aren’t sure what assessments your child took this year, view this list of tests by grade level on FCPS’ website.
How the results are delivered depends on the test. Scores will be posted in SIS ParentVUE, or sent by mail or from the school or testing organization. Learn what to expect regarding assessment reporting practices and timelines.
Visit FCPS’ website for additional information about student assessments, including what each assessment is testing for and how to interpret the test results. Caregivers should contact their children’s teacher with any testing questions.
📈 New SOL Growth Reports for Grade 3-8 Tests
Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) test results, along with other student data, help demonstrate in which subjects or topics students may need additional academic support.
In order to help interpret SOL results for parents, the Virginia Department of Education has released new Standards of Learning Growth Parent Reports for families of students who took grade 3-8 SOL math and reading tests this spring.
The Growth Parent Report ties together scores from fall and winter Virginia Growth Assessments (VGA) with the student’s current spring SOL results to show their trend in academic progress this year.
Learn how to understand your student’s grade 3-8 SOL results and find resources to support their ongoing learning.Support Your Child’s Success in SIS ParentVUE Signing up for a SIS ParentVUE account helps you to support your child’s academic success.

Attention Sixth Grade Parents!
 The 6th Grade Party is coming up on May 31 and we need your help to make it a success!
The teachers attend and help chaperone the kids but they do not plan, run, or decorate it so we need your help!
Each 6th grade class is in charge of bringing sides/drinks/desserts. The PTA provides the pizza. We are looking for volunteers to help with the party and for donations for the kids as we raffle off prizes!
Please note that the party is for 6th graders only (not for families).
Volunteers Needed for the Beach Party!
The end of year 6th Grade Party is a huge highlight for the students! They look forward to this the entire year and it's a great send-off from Brookfield! The theme for this year's party is Beach/Tropical. It will take place on Friday, May 31 in the cafeteria from 12:30-2:40 p.m.
The teachers attend the party and help supervise the kids, but do not plan or setup/cleanup the party. This is completely parent-run!
We need your help to make it a fun success!
