Families with SIS access,
The week of January 21st, Student Assessment Summary Reports will be centrally loaded to SIS ParentVUE Documents.
Students enrolled in FCPS as of fall 2024 and who took a SOL test by June 2024 will receive a report. The report displays results for SOL tests a student took between school year 2015-16 and school year 2023-24. It presents SOL performance using the state percentile rank; SOL scaled scores are not included. For more information, please see the FCPS public webpage, Virginia’s Student Assessment Summary.
This week in Success Prep we discussed Goal-Directed Persistence http://www.efintheclassroom.net/goal-directed-persistence.htmland Metacognition http://www.efintheclassroom.net/metacognition.html.
Next week we will finish the EF lessons with a discussion of Resilience http://www.efintheclassroom.net/ef-and-resilience.html.
All FCPS families and middle and high school students will be receiving an email invitation on Tuesday, January 21, to participate in a survey about FCPS’ Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R), cell phone policy, and cell phone storage options. The survey will be available from January 21 to February 3. Please take a few moments to share your feedback and help FCPS make informed, inclusive decisions for all of our schools!
Based on community feedback from the first quarter closure, FCPS revisited the scheduled dates for closing the Gradebook and Report Card modules in the SIS ParentVUE and StudentVUE apps.
Moving forward, the app will close in alignment with the actual quarter-end dates. This change will allow students and families to view their assignments and grades until the last day of the quarter. Gradebook will be closed for the second quarter from Tuesday, January 28, 4 p.m. to Tuesday, February 4, 6 a.m.

Schools monitor the weather for low temperatures, wind chill advisories and warnings, and weather advisories that may prevent children from being outside for activities like recess or physical education.
