Hello Cedar Lane Community!
I hope this communication finds you in the middle of a nice, navigable November! At Cedar we had a tremendous Thanksgiving celebration this week in preparation for the upcoming holiday. Students and staff came together and shared food and fellowship with each other. It was a wonderful time.
Please remember that next week will be a shorter school week; we will only be in school on Monday and Tuesday. Thanksgiving break begins on Wednesday, and staff and students will not be in the building on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.
Please have a warm and whimsical weekend!
- Mr. Rzepka

Return Your Federal Impact Aid Survey
FCPS is asking all families to fill out a Federal Impact Aid Survey. The form is available in SIS ParentVUE under Online Packets (in the upper right corner after logging in). Please complete it as soon as possible.

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.

- Social and Emotional Learning Screener Results Coming Soon
One of the ways FCPS supports the mental wellness of all students is through the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener. In October, students in grades 3-12 took this screener, which gives information about their skills such as achieving goals, handling emotions, building relationships with adults and peers, and making good choices.
The screener also helps students evaluate their school community’s efforts to make them feel valued, included, and supported. Screener data is used to create learning, experiences, and environments for students to succeed.
In early December, families will be able to view student SEL Screener results in SIS ParentVUE. For families who do not have an active ParentVUE account, results will be sent by mail.
Learn more about the screener on the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener webpage. For help understanding your child’s results or ideas to support them at home, review the Family Guide or contact your child’s school.

Spanish:Los Resultados del Cuestionario de Aprendizaje Social y Emocional Estarán Pronto Disponibles
Una de las maneras en que FCPS apoya el bienestar mental de todos los estudiantes es a través del Cuestionario de Aprendizaje Social y Emocional (SEL). En octubre, estudiantes de los grados 3º a 12º tomaron este cuestionario, que proporciona información acerca de sus habilidades como lograr metas, manejar emociones, construir relaciones con adultos y compañeros, y tomar buenas decisiones.
El cuestionario también ayuda a los estudiantes a evaluar los esfuerzos de su comunidad escolar para que se sientan valorados, incluidos y apoyados. Los datos del cuestionario se utilizan para crear aprendizaje, experiencias y entornos que permitan a los alumnos alcanzar el éxito.
A principios de diciembre, las familias podrán ver los resultados del Cuestionario SEL en SIS ParentVUE. Para las familias que no tienen una cuenta activa ParentVUE, los resultados serán enviados por correo.
Para más información sobre el examen por favor visite la página web del Cuestionario de Aprendizaje Social-Emocional (SEL). Si necesita ayuda para entender los resultados de su hijo o ideas para apoyarlo en casa, consulte la Guía para Familias o póngase en contacto con la escuela de su hijo.

Korean: 사회 정서 학습 Screener(스크리너/관찰) 설문조사 결과가 조만간 발표됩니다.
FCPS는 모든 학생의 정신건강을 지원하는 방법의 하나로 사회 및 정서 학습(SEL) 스크리너를 사용합니다. 10월에 3-12학년 학생들은 목표 달성, 감정 이해 및 관리, 성인 및 또래와의 관계 수립 및 유지, 올바른 선택과 같은 학생의 기술 능력에 대한 정보를 알려주는 이 스크리너를 실시하였습니다.
더불어 이 스크리너를 통해 학생들은 얼마나 학교와 커뮤니티가 자신을 가치 있고, 소속감 및 지원을 주는지 평가를 할 수 있습니다. 이러한 데이터가 저희가 학생들이 성공할 수 있는 학습, 경험 및 환경을 조성하는데 도움이 됩니다.
12월 초에 가족은 학생 SEL 스크리너 결과를 학생 정보 시스템 SIS ParentVUE에서 볼 수 있습니다. 활성화 된 SIS ParentVUE 계정이 없는 가족의 경우 결과는 우편으로 발송됩니다.
스크리너에 대한 자세한 내용은 사회 정서 학습 (SEL) 스크리너 웹 페이지를 확인하세요. 자녀의 결과를 이해하는 데 도움이 필요하거나 가정에서 자녀를 지원할 수 있는 아이디어가 필요하시면 가족을 위한 가이드를 검토하거나 자녀의 학교에 문의하세요.
