A Message From The Principal, Dr. Jemison
We were thrilled to see so many families in attendance for our Back-to-School Night. The warm smiles on students’ faces as they introduced their teachers filled the evening with joy and excitement. It was a wonderful reminder of the strong sense of community we share at Fort Belvoir Primary. As I mentioned during the event, we have so many exciting things happening at our school, and we want all our families to be a part of the journey.
Your involvement is key to our success. Our partnership is what allows our students and school community to truly thrive. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to become a member of our PTO or join our Fort Belvoir Elementary Family Ambassadors. Together, we can continue making lasting strides towards excellence and creating a positive environment where every student can succeed.
Together we are and will continue to be Fort Belvoir strong!
Dr. LaZedrick (Zed) Jemison, Principal

SEL Assemblies
We are making a big SPLASH! This week, we kicked off our school wide Social Emotional Learning (SEL) assemblies for our first-grade students. The purpose of these assemblies is to ensure that our students fully understand the expectations we have for them while at school. As a community, we are committed to using Responsive Classroom strategies. These strategies focus on creating a learning environment where students and teachers collaborate and everyone feels a strong sense of belonging.
Next week, we will continue this important work with our second-grade students. Since implementing these strategies, we’ve already seen a noticeable increase in student engagement. Our school is becoming a place where students feel empowered to learn and grow, and we are excited to see the continued positive impact this approach will have on our entire school community.
