Bronco Village

The decks and stairs are on many of the quads and the power poles are up!  We will soon see a parking area between Lees Corner and our learning village.  It will provide close by parking for staff working in the quads. 


Calling All Veterans and Active Military Members!

We invite you to join us in honoring Veterans Day by visiting our classrooms and sharing your experiences with our elementary students. It's a wonderful opportunity to inspire and educate young minds about service.

FCPS is closed for Veterans Day. We are inviting all Veterans into the building on Friday, November 15.

If you're interested in participating, please contact Kevin Feighery at kbfeighery@fcps.edu, and we will connect you with a classroom.

Thank you for your service!


Return Your Federal Impact Aid Survey

FCPS is asking all families to fill out a Federal Impact Aid Survey. The form is available online in SIS ParentVUE. If you have not already filled out the form online, we will provide paper forms in November. Please be sure to return them by Friday, November 17

Completing this form for each school-aged child in every household is important, because information from this survey resulted in more than $4 million in funding last year from the U.S. Department of Education. These funds are used to support all Fairfax County public schools and centers.

Please watch this video and visit the Federal Impact Aid Survey page for more information.  

Need to Register for ParentVUE? 

Learn how to activate your SIS ParentVUE account, so you can easily submit your survey. 

Technical support for using ParentVUE or completing the survey online is available by submitting a Parent Support Request ticket. Select SISParent in the Application dropdown menu and type Federal Impact Aid Survey under Issue Description. Or, call the Parent Technology Help Desk at 833-921-3277 (833-921-FCPS).


FCPS Student Experience Survey

SE Survey

Our school has been selected to participate in a pilot program for the FCPS Student Experience Survey. This survey will gather important feedback from students about their school experiences to help FCPS make meaningful improvements.

A limited number of classes in grades 3-6 will be selected to participate. However, all students in participating grades, except those who have opted out, will receive a link to the survey in their FCPS email. We will administer the survey in selected classes during the school day between Monday, December 2, and Friday, December 13. Any student may take the survey at home, if preferred. You will receive a communication with details on how to preview the survey and opt your child out, if you choose.
