Dear Eagle View Families,
We’ve had another very busy and fun week at Eagle View! One of the highlights was our SCA Officer Induction ceremony, where we celebrated the next generation of student leaders. We are incredibly proud of our new officers and excited to see them in action this year. Special thanks to Ms. Rodriguez and Ms. Rell for their support of our students.
We are also thrilled to announce the launch of the House System at Eagle View! This exciting new initiative fosters a strong sense of community and belonging for students and staff alike. The House System encourages cross-grade connections, positive peer support, and character development through friendly competition. Each student is assigned to one of four Houses, where they remain throughout their time at Eagle View.
Our four Houses are:
-
Amistad – The House of Friendship
-
Reveur – The House of Dreamers
-
Altruismo – The House of Givers
-
Isibindi – The House of Courage
Sorting days were a blast as students spun the wheel to discover their House, greeted by cheers and excitement. Today, we held our first schoolwide pep rally where all K-6 students met others in their House, and we can’t wait to see how our students grow through this new program. Be on the lookout for a House System Family Guide coming home soon to help you engage with this exciting initiative.
Special thanks to Ms. Morency, our Behavior Resource Teacher, for leading the sorting assemblies for all grade levels and getting the students excited about their Houses!
We are also excited to inform you that a schoolwide point system is still in the works and will be rolled out soon. Once in place, students will be able to earn points for their House through positive behavior, academic accomplishments, and competition participation. Stay tuned for more details!
Lastly, we regret to announce that our Fall Family Picnic was canceled due to rain throughout the week. We are working on an alternate date and will keep you updated. If you prepaid for pizza, refunds will be issued by PTA.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
KJ An
Principal
Good attendance is an important life skill that will help students succeed in school and beyond.
When planning trips or family events, refer to the FCPS calendar and try to use weekends and school holidays. Every day of learning is a day toward success. Keep in mind that absences add up quickly. Students absent 10% of the school year (or just two days per month) are considered chronically absent.
When possible, schedule appointments for your child outside of school hours. If your child needs to miss school because of an illness or another reason, you must report the absence.
Watch this video with tips on understanding the FCPS school year calendar and visit the Attendance webpage for additional information. Attend today, achieve tomorrow!
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) offers a continuum of services for elementary students to meet their current academic needs. The continuum of services supports the two main goals of the Advanced Academic Programs Office:
- Talent Development
- Meeting the Needs of the Advanced Learner
Access to Rigor: Grades K-6 – All students receive talent development lessons with critical and creative thinking strategies and AAP curriculum lessons.
Subject Specific Advanced Differentiation: Grades K-6 – Identified students receive AAP curriculum lessons in the general education setting in areas of academic strength.
Part-Time Services: Grades 3-6 – Identified students receive AAP curriculum lessons in more than one academic content area. The Advanced Academic Resource Teacher (AART) leads these lessons. Programming has increased depth and complexity in several content areas.
Full-Time Services: Grades 3-8 –Identified students receive AAP curriculum lessons full-time. Programming has increased depth, complexity, and pace in all academic content areas.
For more detailed information, including important dates, please see the Fall AAP Newsletter:
Please click on the links below for the Advanced Academics Programs Fall Newsletter containing important information about Advanced Academic Programs.
The fall deadline is October 15th, 2024 for students new to Fairfax County to be screened for full-time services. Contact Nicole Sharpes nmsharpes@fcps.edu for more information.
Students in grades 3-6 are eligible for a one-time retake of one of the ability tests: CogAT or NNAT. If parents would like their child to retake either of these tests, they must submit their request in writing to our testing coordinator, Ms. Blanchard. Please note that this is a one-time opportunity for students. If you're interested or have any questions, please contact the school office for more information. All requests must be received by October 3rd.
Please use these sentence stems to request a one-time retake:
Dear Ms. Blanchard,

Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid will host a series of Community Conversations this fall. She invites you to share your thoughts and ask questions. Click the dates below to register for any of the following conversations:
Events take place from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Childcare and language interpretation services will be provided.
 FCPS’ 2023-30 Strategic Plan sets five main goals to create positive change in the division. These goals show where we should focus our attention and will help us align our efforts.
The fourth goal ensures all students have the same access to opportunities, no matter what school they attend. This includes academics and other programs that inspire and engage students and allow them to explore their passions and talents. See how Goal 4 is being put into practice.
Providing students and staff with a safe educational environment remains our priority. Sadly, gun violence continues to impact schools and communities across our nation.
In FCPS, lessons on gun safety are built into our curriculum. It is critical that parents and guardians talk to their children about the importance of gun safety and safe gun storage in their homes, and in any home they may visit.
The FCPS website has gun safety resources as well as information about safety and security practices at schools. See Dr. Reid’s recent letter to the community for more resources.
Safely Store Firearms and Medications
The Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board has a limited supply of free locking medication boxes and trigger locks that fit a wide variety of firearms. Visit the Lock and Talk website to learn more.
