STUDENT RAM PAGE

Providing students and parents with important updates and reports of events and happenings in the high school.


Blue Star

 

Every year, approximately 600,000 military-connected families relocate. Most of these families move to new duty stations, while some transition out of the military and others transition in. Most of these moves take place over the summer, and Fairfax County Public Schools is committed to ensuring our military families feel welcomed and a sense of belonging to their local community. 

Blue Star Welcome Week is an opportunity for our community to welcome our military-connected families and show them our appreciation for their service and sacrifices. Throughout the week, FCPS will help ease their transition through events, messages, actions of welcome, and opportunities to make meaningful connections. Please help us welcome our military families during Blue Star Welcome Week, September 21 - September 29, 2024, and throughout the year! #BlueStarWelcomeWeekFCPS

From The Family Liaison

My name is Carla Anello, your new Family Liaison at Robinson Secondary School. I am excited to join this school community and to have the opportunity to support you and your family.

As Family Liaison, my primary goal is to strengthen the connection between school and home. I will be here to:

I look forward to meeting you and working together to create a positive and enriching school environment for our students. Please feel free to contact me at cquirogaanel@fcps.edu or 703-426-2257 with any questions or suggestions.
