Seahawk Talk
All parents and guardians are invited to our first virtual Seahawk Talk scheduled for September 10, 2024, at 6:30. Our topic will focus on Social Emotional Wellness and Student Resiliency. Our counselors and social worker will facilitate the evening. Please join us in learning ways to support our child at home. Use this link to join.
Early Release Monday
We are asking ALL parents/guardians to complete the Early Release Survey. We must have all students accounted for with your decision on how to proceed with your student. Please access this link https://forms.gle/6BwCW1JzVvi2SLNa8 to submit your response TODAY!
If you have submitted a preference for your child, you do not need to resubmit. If you have submitted a “I don’t know” or “Haven’t made a decision” please resubmit with a decision so your child is accounted for. We have less than half of our student body accounted for. Thanks for your cooperation.
Good afternoon Silverbrook Community,
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Mr. Abner Mondoloka and I am the new Silverbrook strings teacher. I am excited to be here and to get to know all your children. Band and Strings has decided to extend the due date of enrollment forms, so your child still has the option of signing up for Band or Strings.
Band (5th and 6th grade ONLY)
Strings (4th, 5th, and 6th grades)
A little background about myself, I am a graduate of the College of William and Mary, and I am also in the Army Reserves Band. My primary instrument is the viola, but I also love to teach violin, cello, and bass. I will be starting to measure students this week and next week to give you the appropriate size of the instrument to rent and play.
Please sign your child up for Band or Strings by Tuesday, September 10 by using the QR code provided. Band and Strings will start classes during the week of September 16th. Your child will be scheduled for one of the mornings Monday through Friday and we will be in touch on this specific day and time.
If you have any questions about Band or Strings, please don’t hesitate to email us.

Immunization Requirements
Please check with your healthcare 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 healthcare provider’s written statement specifying all administered immunizations.
- A healthcare 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.
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.
