 Dear Navy Parents and Caregivers,
I hope this finds you well and enjoying a beautiful Sunday! We made a HUGE impression Friday Night! The Navy school community came out to support our students and teachers that created an inspirational and fun evening for our Navy stars! We may not have won every competition, but we certainly won the school spirit award.
A huge shout to our moms and dads who coached the student teams and cheerleaders, and to all parents who came out to support the event. I'd also like to thank Caroline and our PTO for organizing such a large event and making it look easy. I look forward to seeing you around the building in the coming weeks as we end the year strong!
Go Dolphins!
Jason

Congratulations to our very own shining star, Mrs. Schnabel. An FCPS Cares was submitted for Mrs. Schnabel and among all the other ones submitted for our region, Mrs. Schnabel was selected as the Region 1 winner for the month of April. We are so beyond proud of her and fortunate that she is our literacy coach at Navy!
If you'd like to take some time to recognize a staff member you can also fill out an FCPS Cares. It is always special to receive one. A little bit of kindness and appreciation goes a long way!

7th Grade Courses and Electives
Attention Rising 7th Grade Families: If you are looking to make any changes to your student’s courses and/or electives, you need to contact the Student Information Assistant at the middle school to make these changes.
Students in grades 3-12 took the SEL Screener during the month of March, providing information on their SEL skills such as achieving goals, understanding and managing emotions, establishing and maintaining relationships, and making responsible decisions. The screener also asks students how well their school community makes them feel valued, included, and supported.
Individual student SEL Screener results are available to families in the Documents section of SIS ParentVUE. For families who do not have an active ParentVUE account, results will be sent via postal mail.
For support in understanding your individual student’s results or for ideas on how to support them at home, please review the SEL Screener Results Family Guide or reach out to our school staff with any questions.
Measles cases continue to rise in the U.S. About 1 in 5 people who get measles end up in the hospital. Measles can cause severe complications like a lung infection (pneumonia), brain inflammation (encephalitis), and possibly death, even with medical care. Symptoms of measles typically include:
- High fever (may spike up to 104°F)
- Cough
- Runny nose
- Red, watery eyes
- A rash that appears around 3-5 days after other symptoms begin. The rash typically starts on the face and spreads down the body.
The best way to protect a child from measles is by getting two doses of the combination measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine.
If you are unsure of your child's vaccination status or your personal vaccination status, talk to your health care provider. If your child needs an immunization, make an appointment with your health care provider, visit the Fairfax County Health Department website for a list of child immunization clinics, or view other Immunization Resources.
Attend the FCPS Summer Extravaganza on Saturday, May 10, 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m., at Woodson High School and get a jump on summer learning and fun! At this free event, participants can engage in educational and enrichment activities designed to inspire curiosity and growth.
An FCPS Student Program Marketplace will feature student-made goods for sale. Proceeds will support the students’ programs.

FCPS’ 2023-30 Strategic Plan Goal 3: Academic Growth and Excellence places a focus on successful completion of Algebra 1 by eighth grade. To increase access to Algebra 1 for middle school students, the school division has decided to streamline the criteria for taking Algebra 1 Honors in seventh grade.
With the simplified criteria, Iowa Algebra Aptitude Test (IAAT) scores are no longer a prerequisite when selecting either Mathematics 7 Honors or Algebra 1 Honors. Although it is not a requirement for advanced math, families may still use the test scores to help decide which level of mathematics their child signs up for.
Families of students who took the IAAT this winter will receive their score report by the end of this month. Students who were scheduled for the IAAT but did not get to complete the test will have the chance to opt-in for a makeup test at the end of the year. Parents/caregivers will receive information about this makeup testing opportunity.
Additional information and copies of upcoming family communication can be found on the IAAT webpage.

💊 DEA Drug Take Back Day
