Welcome to Our Braddock ES Family, #OneFamily
Greetings, Braddock Families & Community!
We hope you and your families had a wonderful and rejuvenating spring break! We're excited to welcome our students back as we embark on the final, crucial weeks of the school year.
As we move forward, we want to emphasize the importance of consistent attendance. The coming weeks are vital for reinforcing and expanding upon the instructional content our students will need to succeed on division and state-wide assessments in May. Every day of learning is a valuable opportunity to solidify their understanding and build confidence.
We understand that this time of year can be busy, but we kindly ask for your support in ensuring your child attends school daily. This consistent engagement is essential for their academic success and will help them approach the upcoming testing season with preparedness and confidence.
We are committed to providing our students with the necessary tools and support to excel. Together, we can make these final weeks productive and rewarding.
Thank you for your partnership. We look forward to seeing our students back in the classroom, ready to learn and thrive!

Sincerely With Warmest Regards,

FCPS is committed to providing all students and families with a Safe, Welcoming, and Inclusive space. It is important to know that schools will not collect or maintain any information on the citizenship or immigration status of students or their families. For more information, contact us at 703-914-7300 OR scan the QR code below.
Every family should have a Family Preparedness Plan in case of an emergency. It is critical for immigrant families to think ahead and set more concrete plans for immigration emergencies that can arise. For example, this Resource Toolkit goes into detail about different childcare options available in case of an absent parent, where to find trusted immigration services in your community, and how to prepare to assert your constitutional rights in the presence of an immigration officer.
