We're thrilled to share that ONESIGHT will be hosting a free vision clinic for Herndon Pyramid students. This clinic is a unique opportunity for students to undergo a comprehensive eye exam and, if necessary, receive eyeglasses at no cost.
When: October 8th, 9th, and 10th
Where: Herndon Middle School
Who: Students only
Time: The clinic will occur at Herndon Middle School on October 8th, 9th, and 10th, with limited appointments at 3:30 p.m. for Herndon Pyramid students. Each appointment will take approximately 1.5 hours, and parents must accompany their student. Transportation is NOT provided.
Please note that there are limited spots available. Register your child today.
Hispanic Heritage Month POG Celebration and Presentations of Learning
 Hispanic Heritage Month POG Celebration and Presentations of Learning
We look forward to celebrating culture, community, and students' learning on Wednesday, October 16th. K-2 students will have the opportunity to present songs and dances that they have been learning in FLES. Please bring your family's favorite dish to share.
Social-Emotional Learning
(SEL) Screener
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.
