Family Vision Group
Dr. Reid is engaging in meaningful conversations with parents through the Family Vision Group. The group members will have the opportunity to share their thoughts and experiences as we work together to achieve the goals outlined in our Strategic Plan.
- Key responsibilities of the FCPS Superintendent’s Family Vision Group include:
- Support the Superintendent's outreach efforts to engage families and community members.
- Actively participate in the exchange of information and perspectives on major division topics.
- Serve as ambassadors to your school community by being an additional bridge to sharing information between families and the superintendent.
- Commit to pursuing the interest of each and every student in Fairfax County Public Schools.
- Meetings will be held every other month starting in September.
- Childcare, language interpretation, and transportation will be provided as needed.
If you would like to represent Silverbrook on the Family Vision Group, please email Dr. Pamela Simpkins pmsimpkins@fcps.edu or Ms. Karyn Hanchulak khanchulak@fcps.edu

Students to Be Surveyed on Social-Emotional Learning
FCPS is committed to supporting the mental wellness of all students. The Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener helps our students share their perspectives on how their schools and communities support them and help them develop the skills they need to succeed.
The screener is offered to all students in grades 3 through 12 in the fall and spring. It addresses skills such as achieving goals, understanding and managing emotions, establishing and maintaining relationships with adults and peers, and making responsible decisions. Students also share how successful their school and community are at making them feel valued, included, and supported. Screener data is used to plan programming for the division, schools, and individual students.
After each screening, results will be available in the Documents tab of SIS ParentVUE and mailed to families who don’t have a ParentVUE account. For more information, please visit the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener webpage.
Families who wish to opt their child out may do so by completing the opt-out form in the Annual Notice packet or SIS ParentVUE. For more information, please visit the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener webpage or contact our front office.
Please note that the SEL Screener is not the same as the anonymous Fairfax County Youth Survey, which will take place later this fall.
