Hello Forest Edge Families and Community!
We had an exciting week at Forest Edge, filled with enriching experiences for our students!
-
ST Math visited our school, where students in some classes completed engaging puzzle talks with ST Math experts. It was a fun and educational session that sparked curiosity and problem-solving skills!
-
Our partnership with Our Kids Read continued as they made their second visit, generously donating books to students in grades 3-6. A special thank you to Microsoft for making this possible—our students are thrilled to have new reading materials!
-
In addition, some of our students completed CogAT testing this week, which helps assess their abilities and identify areas for further growth.
It’s been a week of learning, giving, and excitement, and we’re proud of all our students for their enthusiasm and participation. Thank you for your continued support!
Dr. Brittany Rogers, Principal
Mrs. Ashley Fisher, Assistant Principal
On Tuesday, October 22 we will have an Advanced Academics parent information session. The focus of this meeting will be to go over the Advanced Academics Screening and Referral process. The meeting will start at 5:30 in the library.

- Monday, October 28, 3-7 p.m.
Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are highly encouraged to avoid wait times. A parent or guardian must accompany walk-in students under the age of 19 to provide consent. Learn more about immunization resources and registering in other languages for the Safeway clinic.
Elementary School Clinics
The Fairfax County Health Department will provide immunizations for FCPS elementary students on limited early release Mondays at their district offices. All school-required immunizations will be offered at no cost. Call 703-246-7100 to make your appointment.
Whether students miss school because of illness or any other reason, missing school leads to learning loss.
Help your child succeed by encouraging them to attend as many days as possible, but do make sure your child stays home if they are sick. Visit our website for information on when to keep your child at home.
If your child has a chronic illness, make sure to notify their teacher so that assistance can be provided if needed. Keep an open line of communication with your school's public health staff.
Read about how families can help form good attendance habits. Attend today, achieve tomorrow!
We wanted to provide a reminder and follow up to the FCPS communication that was sent in June regarding seven three-hour early release Mondays for elementary students in the 24-25 year.
