Dear GBE Families,
The last day of school is here! This year has been filled with incredible memories and invaluable growth for both our students and our school community. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to each and every family for your unwavering support, dedication, and partnership in your child's education. Your involvement has not only enriched their learning experience but has also strengthened the bonds within our GBE family. Our achievement data continues to show incredible progress and we made significant improvement to our chronic absenteeism rate! This data further demonstrates the incredible work and dedication of our families and staff!
As we look back on the memories created, let us also look forward to an exciting future at GBE! The lessons learned will empower our students to reach greater heights and embrace the challenges that await them in the future. GBE and our PTA are working on ways to continue seeing our school soar! I encourage families to reach out to the PTA to get connected to this exciting work! You can find more PTA information by clicking here.
We will miss our students moving on next school year. We wish the best for our sixth graders and our students moving over the summer. You’ve each made an impact at GBE!
We have several staff also moving on from GBE next school year. We wish the best to the following:
Annemarie Allen Wilson Hill
Shimaliya Aurora Stacy LaPlaca
Maria Baptiste-Petrak Leslee Leary
Keoni Chavez Laura Shepherd
We will miss you all and thank you for your service at GBE!
Before we part ways for the summer break, let us carry with us the cherished moments, friendships, and knowledge gained. We are thrilled that 93% of our GBE staff is returning to continue serving this incredible school community next school year! I wish you all a rejuvenating and joyful summer filled with time spent with loved ones. Thank you once again for your unwavering commitment to our school community. Together, we have made this year one to remember, and I eagerly anticipate the adventures that await us in the next academic year. We will be sharing more information over the summer for our back to school events! We can’t wait to see you again!
Sincerely,
Dave Pietzman, NBCT

사랑하는 GBE 가족 여러분,
학교의 마지막 날이 왔어요! 올해는 우리 학생들과 학교 공동체 모두에게 믿을 수 없는 추억과 귀중한 성장으로 가득 찼습니다. 저는 자녀 교육에 대한 여러분의 변함없는 지지, 헌신, 그리고 동반자 관계에 대해 한 가족 한 가족에게 깊은 감사를 표하고 싶습니다. 여러분의 참여는 그들의 학습 경험을 풍부하게 해줄 뿐만 아니라 GBE 가족 내의 유대감을 강화시켜주었습니다. 우리의 성취 데이터는 믿을 수 없는 진전을 계속 보여주고 있으며, 우리는 만성 결석률을 크게 개선했습니다! 이 데이터는 또한 우리 가족과 직원들의 놀라운 일과 헌신을 보여줍니다!
우리가 창조된 기억들을 되돌아보면서, GBE의 흥미로운 미래도 기대해 보아요! 그 교훈은 우리 학생들이 더 높은 곳에 도달하고 미래에 그들을 기다리고 있는 도전들을 받아들이도록 힘을 실어줄 것입니다. GBE와 우리의 PTA는 우리 학교가 계속해서 치솟는 것을 볼 수 있는 방법들을 연구하고 있습니다! 저는 가족들이 이 흥미로운 일에 연결하기 위해 PTA에 연락할 것을 권장합니다! 여러분은 여기를 클릭함으로써 더 많은 PTA 정보를 찾을 수 있습니다.
우리는 다음 학년으로 넘어가는 우리 학생들을 그리워할 것입니다. 우리는 6학년 학생들과 여름으로 넘어가는 우리 학생들에게 행운이 있기를 바랍니다. 여러분은 GBE에서 각각 영향력을 행사했습니다!
다음 학년도 GBE에서 몇 명의 직원이 이동하고 있습니다. 다음과 같은 일들이 잘 되기를 바랍니다:
Annemarie Allen Wilson Hill
Shimaliya Aurora Stacy LaPlaca
Maria Baptiste-Petrak Leslee Leary
Keoni Chavez Laura Shepherd
여러분 모두가 그리울 것이며 GBE에서 서비스를 제공해 주셔서 감사합니다!
여름 방학을 위해 헤어지기 전에, 소중한 순간들, 우정들, 그리고 얻은 지식들을 우리와 함께 가지고 가봅시다. 우리는 우리의 93%의 GBE 직원들이 내년에도 이 놀라운 학교 공동체를 위해 봉사하기 위해 돌아온다는 것에 흥분됩니다! 저는 여러분 모두가 사랑하는 사람들과 함께하는 시간들로 가득 찬 활기차고 즐거운 여름이 되기를 바랍니다. 우리 학교 공동체에 대한 여러분의 변함없는 헌신에 다시 한 번 감사드립니다. 우리는 함께 올해를 기억해야 할 해로 만들었고, 저는 다음 학년에 우리를 기다리고 있는 모험들을 간절히 기대합니다. 우리는 학교 행사들을 위해 여름 동안 더 많은 정보를 공유할 것입니다! 우리는 여러분을 빨리 다시 만나고 싶습니다!
진심으로,
Dave Pietzman, NBCT

Caregivers can view important information in ParentVUE such as attendance, grades, progress reports, and assessment scores.
Once you have activated a ParentVUE account for your FCPS student, you will keep the same account until the student graduates. Information about students in the same family can be accessed through the same ParentVUE account. An app is also available for Apple and Android devices.
Need help creating a SIS ParentVUE account? This video explains the steps. Find out more.
If you already have an account, be sure your contact information is up-to-date. Parents/guardians can update their phone numbers or email addresses in the Parent/Guardian section. View more information on ParentVUE.
📝 Student Testing Results Coming Soon
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 TestsVirginia 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.

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.

Ms.Miller is one of the best, fun, caring teachers my daughter has ever had! She my daughter loves her and her class she has been with Ms.Miller since kindergarten and now she is going into 3rd grade! She makes everyone feel welcome and makes a great fun learning experience for everyone. It’s nice to have a teacher that truly cares and watches out for your child! We are truly happy to be part of the GBE family!

Use PickUp Patrol to report absences

Make sure you change the default plan anytime you change your students' permanent dismissal. Emails and phone calls are no longer encouraged, except for emergencies. When you enter a change in PUP, it goes directly to your child’s teacher as well as our front office staff. Please remember to provide a reason for the absence, late arrival or early dismissal. Changes must be entered on PUP by 2:30pm each day. If you need assistance setting up your PickUp Patrol account, please reach out to Adriana Barreto at 703-633-6400 or aabarreto@fcps.edu.
