Representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration visited with students in fourth and fifth grade to share information on aviation careers. Students practiced angles for landing an airplane and building planes and circuits!
Health Room Notice
The school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than 2:00 pm, student dismissal time, on the last day of school, June 12. Medication left in the health room after that time will be discarded. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student.
Medication authorization forms for next school year may be obtained from the school or online at https://www.fcps.edu/resources/student-safety-and-wellness/school-health-services. A medication authorization form is required for any medication, prescription or over-the-counter, to be kept at school.
Your cooperation will ensure that we can safely give your student their medication. If you have any questions, please contact your school health room aide, Anaysha Bloom, at 703-814-8710, or your school public health nurse, Reggie Santiago, at 571-460-9581.
School Board Votes to Adopt Fiscal Year 2025 Approved Budget
The Fairfax County School Board voted to adopt Fairfax County Public Schools’ (FCPS) Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Approved Budget at their last board meeting. The FY 2025 Approved Budget totals $3.7 billion — a net increase of $233.2 million or 6.6% over the previous year.
The FY 2025 Approved Budget focuses on providing educational excellence for all students and ensuring that employees’ hard work and dedication are acknowledged through competitive compensation. Both of these efforts fully align with the FCPS 2023-30 Strategic Plan.
Nearly 86% of the Approved Budget is targeted at instruction. Key budget highlights include funding for a 4% compensation increase for all employees; maintaining existing class size formulas and providing necessary support to all students; and expanding athletics offerings, additional athletic trainers, and enhanced stipends for fine and performing arts.

Rocky Run Spanish Speaking Family Night for Rising Seventh Graders
On Thursday, we had a great Spanish-speaking parent night for our rising 7th graders. Our families heard about life at middle school, including information about our bell schedule, academics, rock time, afterschool programs, and support within the school. They also received the book “Como Hablar para que los Adolescentes Escuchen y Como Escuchar para que los Adolescents Hablen” (How to talk so teens will listen and listen so teens will talk) and will be participating in a book club later in the month.
