CVHS “Signs of Suicide” SOS Presentations

All middle and high schools in FCPS teach students about mental health and how to seek help if they are worried about themselves or a friend. All schools use an evidence-based program called Signs of Suicide (SOS). The program teaches students about this difficult topic and encourages them to seek help.

This is a reminder that the SOS lessons will take place through history classes during the upcoming weeks of:

November 18th - 9th Grade

December 2nd -  11th Grade

We encourage you to visit www.sossignsofsuicide.org/parent for information on warning signs for youth suicide, useful resources, and some of the key messages students will learn. You can also view this parent video  or visit this site to learn more about how you can continue this important conversation at home.

If you did not complete an opt out previously, and would still like to do so, you can opt your child out of this lesson by emailing Kristin Girardin, Director of Student Services at kegirardin@fcps.edu.

 

Federal Impact Aid Survey Now Open

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 be sending paper forms home on Monday, November 18th. If the enrolling parent has already completed the Impact Aid form through Parent VUE, there will be no paper form for that student. Please return paper forms no later than Friday, November 22nd.

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.
