Hello MUES Families,
The 3rd quarter of school officially began yesterday! To kick it off, we had our January House meetings yesterday morning where students reviewed the "glows and grows" to work on as a House family this next month of school. Additionally, because each House met their goal of earning 500 Mustang Marks, they earned their next House award. We appreciate all of the hard work our Mustangs have put in to following our school-wide expectations. We look forward to seeing even more progress over this next quarter of school- we know our Mustangs can do it!
As we move into the month of February, we have a lot of celebrations coming up. We will celebrate Black History Month, Women's History Month, Kindness Week, and our 100th Day of School! We will also take time to celebrate our Mustangs who were nominated for a 2nd quarter S.M.I.L.E. Award; and celebrate our Perfect Attendance Award winners for the 2nd quarter of school in the coming weeks.
Don't forget that 2nd quarter progress reports will be available to review in ParentVUE on Tuesday, February 4th. As you review your child's progress report, I encourage you to reach out to your student's homeroom teacher with any questions you might have.
Have a wonderful weekend!
My Best,
Mrs. Goddin, Your Proud Principal

📈 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.
If you have not been able to attend a Community Boundary Review meeting yet, it’s not too late! The following virtual meetings are scheduled and will have the same format and information available as the previous in-person meetings:
