This week, we celebrated the joy of reading with our students as a school community. In honor of "Read Across America," service members from various branches of the military joined us to share their love of reading. Dressed in their uniforms, they read books from our school library to students, creating a meaningful connection between literacy and service. Their presence not only emphasized the importance of reading but also highlighted the strong bond between our school and the military community.
We were honored to welcome nearly 200 service members who took time out of their schedules to inspire our young readers. Even more exciting, a couple of service members currently deployed overseas participated by reading to students virtually. One of these special moments is being featured on the Fairfax County Public Schools website, and we encourage families to check it out to see this incredible experience. This event was a powerful reminder of how reading brings people together, no matter the distance, fostering a lifelong love for learning.
Together we are and will continue to be Fort Belvoir strong!
In partnership with,
Dr. LaZedrick (Zed) Jemison, Principal
Mrs. Tieya White, Assistant Principal
Mrs. Eileen Delany, Assistant Principal

🐻 It’s Kindergarten Registration Time!
Attending kindergarten provides children with an opportunity to learn and practice the essential social, emotional, problem-solving, and self-regulation skills they will use throughout their lives. Fairfax County public schools typically conduct kindergarten registration events, including orientation, between January and April. Eligible children can also be registered throughout the summer, but registering your child early helps us prepare and ensure we have the teachers and resources needed on the first day of school.
Families should prepare for registration by gathering documents and completing forms on the FCPS kindergarten registration webpage. FCPS offers support and resources for all families to help with registration and the transition to kindergarten. For support in other languages, visit the kindergarten registration webpage.
✨ A strong start is Goal 1 of the 2023-30 Strategic Plan.
💻 Try Online Registration
Online registration for the 2025-26 school year is open. Parents/caregivers may register their children online for kindergarten through 12th grade. Learn how to begin the online registration process.
When registering, parents/caregivers will need to create or log in to an existing SIS ParentVUE account.
