Blue Star Welcome Week-Saturday, September 21-Sunday, September 29
Blue Star Welcome Week was created to recognize the 600,000 military families who move to new communities each year, while raising awareness and building support for military families across the country. There are approximately 14,500 military-connected students enrolled in Fairfax County Public Schools.
Here at Belle View we have 24 military connected students. We extend a warm welcome to the school year to all our new and returning military connected families! Thank you for your service. We are so glad you and your family are Belle View Bobcats!
If you are a military-connected family, send a photo of you and your student to Charity Risko (cmrisko@fcps.edu) so we can celebrate your service and dedication.
Martha Washington Library, 6614 Fort Hunt Rd, welcomes military families on Saturday, September 21, 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. Stop by anytime during the open house for fun activities and information about the library. Check out the Blue Star Welcome Week page Ways to Welcome a Military Family for ideas on welcoming military families to our community.
For assistance or questions about how our military-connected families are supported in FCPS, please email Family and School Partnerships at militaryfamilies@fcps.edu.

Family Life Education Instructional Program Information
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) provides a comprehensive, sequential Family Life Education (FLE) program for students in grades kindergarten through grade twelve. Instruction is seen as a partnership among parents and guardians, the school, and the community in supporting the learning essential to the development of strong families, positive relationships, and a healthy community.
Parents/guardians may choose to opt their child out of all or part of the Family Life Education program. Students who are opted out are provided with age-appropriate, nonpunitive alternative health instruction, and every effort is made to foster respect for family choices. If you wish to opt your child out of all or part of FLE for this school year, opt out forms are available in Parent Digital Consent. Paper opt-out forms are available from your child’s school. Students receiving special education services and accessing modified curriculum will receive a printed opt-out form for modified FLE lessons.
Detailed grade-level program descriptions are available online at Elementary (K-6) , Middle School (7-8) , and High School (9-12). FLE grade level-specific lessons and media that FCPS has streaming rights for are available for parents online in Schoology. Parents/guardians login to Schoology using the same username and password as their Student Information System (SIS) Parent account. Grade level-specific lessons are also available at the City of Fairfax Regional Library (this location does not have media). Grade level-specific lessons and media that is not streamed online are available for review at your child’s school library. Due to copyright permissions, we are unable to stream all media online.
Program questions may be addressed at your child’s school or by contacting Instructional Services at 571-423-4550 or by email to fle@fcps.edu.
