It's going to be a great week Hornet Nation! I am excited with the idea of having a pretty normal schedule for students this week! We will have a teacher workday this Wednesday, which means students will not be in attendance at school.
We would like to celebrate our strings students and their inspiring teacher, Mr. Abner Mondoloka. Our strings students performed last Friday for the first time this year. It was exciting to see their excitement and dedication to learning a stringed instrument. Nice job everyone!
Last week, we also conducted our grade level spelling bee contests for students in grades 1st thru 6th. Each of our Hornets who participated did an excellent job prepping and executing a wonderful performance for the bee. We could not be prouder of our students! The finalists from each grade level will participate in our Halley ES school-wide bee in February. Way to go!
This week's Hornet Happenings will highlight our PTO's BINGO night. Please reference the flier below. Our BINGO nights at Halley are an excellent way to engage with other families within the community and have fun!! Please sign up using the links below!
Sincerely,
Paula Johnson-Tyler-Principal

- 📈 Virginia’s Student Assessment Summary for Families
This month, families of students who took any Standards of Learning (SOL) test between school years 2015-16 and 2023-24 will receive a Student Assessment Summary Report. The report shows a student’s state percentile ranking for each test. This allows families to see how their child ranked compared to all Virginia students who took the same test that year.
Reports are available now in SIS ParentVUE Documents. We will distribute them to students whose families do not have ParentVUE access. Learn how to access ParentVUE.
The report is intended to help families reflect on how their child performed across all tested subjects over the years. Our staff members are committed to working with families to help every student reach their highest potential. Learn more about student assessments in FCPS.
