🏗️Renovation Phase 1 Complete!
We’re thrilled to announce that the first phase of our school renovation is officially complete! Students and teachers have moved into beautiful new classrooms and spaces in our new wing. Kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, and most of 4th grade are now settled into their new rooms. Our Art, Music, PE, and Library specialists have also moved into new, spacious upgraded areas!
We had a great visit from School Board member Karl Frisch and Delegate David Bulova. They toured the new wing and loved seeing the new space, our amazing teachers, and our fantastic kids. We appreciate their support and have so much to be proud of at Mosaic.
Thank you for your continued support as we grow! We can’t wait to see all the amazing things that will happen in these new spaces.

On Friday, November 8, 25 of our 6th graders represented the state of Virginia by performing at the National Blue Ribbon Ceremony, headlined by US Secretary of Education Dr. Miguel Cardona. Dr. Cardona was introduced by one of our students!
Huge thank you to our music teachers, Mr. James, Mr. Stansbery, and Ms. Kim, for all your work preparing our chorus members for this prestigious honor!
🗳️ Return Your Federal Impact Aid Survey
FCPS is asking all families to complete a Federal Impact Aid Survey as soon as possible. The form is available in ParentVUE under Online Packets (in the upper right corner after logging in).
Completing this form for each school-aged child in every household is important. 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.
For more information, please watch this video on Impact Aid and visit the Federal Impact Aid Survey page.
📝IEP Palooza and Community Resource Fair
Parents/caregivers, school staff, and students over the age of 14 are invited to attend an interactive event celebrating the individualized education program (IEP) process. The IEP Palooza and Community Resource Fair will take place on Saturday, November 16, 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m., at Jackson Middle School.
The event is sponsored by Fairfax County Special Education Parent Teacher Association (SEPTA). Activities include simulated IEP meetings, break-out sessions on the various parts of an IEP, and a resource fair to learn more about community supports. Register in advance.
📍 Boundary Review Community Meetings Start This Month
As a reminder, FCPS has started the process of reviewing school boundaries across the division. This important work will help the district better support student population growth, changes in school capacity, and evolving community needs. Community input is vital to this process. With that in mind, FCPS, in partnership with Thru Consulting, will be hosting a series of community meetings in each of FCPS’ six regions. Participants are encouraged to share their thoughts, ask questions, and learn more about the boundary review process.
Please visit FCPS’ website for meeting dates, locations, and other information. Sign up for the School Boundary Review newsletter for updates.
The Region 1 meeting will be held on Wednesday, December 18 from 6:30-8 p.m. in the Madison High School cafeteria.
📒Tutoring Resources for Families
Is your family looking for resources to help support your child’s academic success? FCPS’ Family Resource Center (FRC) maintains a list of district employees who hold a valid Virginia teaching credential and who are available to be hired as a tutor by parents. FRC maintains this list, but families are responsible for contacting and working directly with tutors. This list is not “approved” by FCPS and is only meant as a resource.
FCPS also partners with Varsity Tutors to provide students and families with extra resources for learning. Every student can take advantage of Varsity Tutors' services at no cost, including weekly live online classes, on demand 24/7 chat tutoring, essay editing, study resources such as recorded content, practice problems, and diagnostic tests.
