Greetings, Braddock Families!
Welcome to the last week of school! Congratulations to all of our Fifth Graders on a successful Promotion Day. We are so proud to call each one of you a Braddock Eagle! We wish you all well in all your future endeavors. You'll do great things!
Also, thank you to all the teachers and volunteer parents that made the Field Day such a success. Our students loved it!
Let's give it our all in this last stretch!
With Warmest Regards,
Braddock Staff
SOL Scores Posted in SIS ParentVUE
Families can find Standards of Learning (SOL) reports for spring testing in the SIS ParentVUE Documents section on or before the last day of school. Log in to your ParentVUE account to access the following:
- For all students, the official SOL Score Report with overall and reporting category performance for all spring tests.
- For grade 3-8 students, the SOL Growth Parent Report shows performance over time for state reading and math tests completed this school year.
Visit the FCPS website for additional information about spring assessment reporting practices and timelines.

Virtual Mental Wellness Consultations
This summer, the FCPS Office of Intervention and Prevention Services will offer virtual Mental Wellness Consultations from Monday, June 24, through Friday, August 2. Any FCPS parent or secondary student can schedule a 45-minute consultation with a school psychologist or social worker by phone or videoconference.
Parents of students in any grade level can request a consultation to receive guidance on how to support their child’s social, emotional, and academic success. Information about community resources will also be provided.
We encourage all families to take advantage of this service. Request a consultation or call and leave a message at 703-503-2520.
Summer Fun for All! Summer Camps and Adapted Recreation
The Family Resource Center (FRC) has a list of dozens of summer camps including general camps, camps for students with a variety of needs, and camps for children of military personnel.
They’ve also prepared a list of adapted resources, sorted by activity, that are inclusive for children and adults of various physical abilities.
Learn more by calling 703-204-3941, emailing FRC@fcps.edu, or visiting the FRC webpage.
This week, X (formerly Twitter) updated its policies to officially allow adult content on the platform. With this update, we even more strongly encourage you to reconsider your school’s use of X, unless it is an effective communication and engagement tool for your community. This is NOT a mandate.
If you and your principal would like an official Facebook page or Instagram account for your school, reach out to Delaina McCormack this summer and we are happy to get you set up.
