Principal's Message

Dear Eagle View Families,

Thank you to all the parents and guardians who attended Back to School Night! If you were unable to join us, please take a moment to review the Back to School Night packets that teachers sent home, as they contain important information about your child’s classroom and the school year ahead.

In light of the recent tragic school shooting, I want to reassure you that we are closely adhering to FCPS safety protocols to ensure the safety of all students and staff. Keeping your children safe is our top priority, and we continue to remind them of essential safety protocols while remaining vigilant to maintain a safe learning  environment.

I also want to remind you of the following upcoming events:

  • Coffee with the Principal: 9/10/24, 8:15–9:00 AM
  • Asha-Jyothi Fun Run: 9/15/24 at Fairfax Corner. Please and register and join us for the Fun Run/5K to support Eagle View! Access the registration.  
  • PTA Meeting: 9/18/24, 6:30 PM. We encourage everyone to join the PTA and get involved.
  • First Early Release Monday: 9/23/24, dismissal at 1 PM. Students whose parents indicated a childcare hardship will stay until 4 PM. If you haven't filled out the survey, please do so ASAP.  Access the survey.
  • Fall Family Picnic: 9/27/24 5:30 PM  (more details coming soon!).

Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to seeing many of you at these events!

Warm regards,

KJ An

✨ The 2023-30 Strategic Plan — Goal 1: Strong Start, Pre-K-12

The 2023-30 strategic plan sets five main goals to create positive change in FCPS. These goals show where we should focus our attention and will help us align our efforts. 

Each goal has an equity commitment — the promise we make to every student to support them in attaining these goals. Each goal also has several measures that allow us to track our progress.

The first goal in the strategic plan focuses on each and every student having a strong start in FCPS. Whether they're joining us in preschool or in high school, we want our students to be set up for success.See how Goal 1 is being put into practice


🩹 Immunization Requirements

Please check with your health care provider as soon as possible to make sure your child is up to date on the immunizations required by the state of Virginia. Starting Monday, September 30, students who have not provided proof of immunization will not be allowed to attend school

You may check your child’s immunization compliance and submit their immunization record in SIS ParentVUE. Records may also be delivered to your school’s front office. 

Alternative immunization documents (below) may also be provided to your school’s front office, but they may not be uploaded in ParentVUE:  

  • A health care provider’s written statement specifying all administered immunizations.
  • A health care provider’s written statement of a permanent or temporary medical exemption.
  • A notarized Religious Exemption form objecting to the administration of immunizations due to conflicts with their religious tenets or practices.

Find more information on immunizations


🍎 Make Every Day Count! The Importance of Attendance

As you plan upcoming trips and other family events, please remember the importance of sending your child to school every day. Review the FCPS School Year Calendar and try to plan any time away during breaks from school. 

Children who show up for school regularly develop fundamental reading and math skills while building a habit of good attendance that will carry them into college and careers. Research shows that children who were chronically absent (missing 18 days or more) in kindergarten and first grade were far less likely to read proficiently at the end of third grade.

Learn how families can help form good attendance habits.
