end of school year

Hello Mustangs,

We are thrilled to announce a busy and exciting end to the school year, starting with the 8th Grade Dance TONIGHT! Next week, the week of June 2, marks our official Celebration Week, featuring 7th-grade parties on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, as well as an invitation-only 8th-grade award ceremony on Friday, June 6. Please note that students will be returning their laptops on June 4 and 5, and backpacks will not be permitted from June 9 to June 11. During the final week of school, we will accommodate excused absences if necessary, and students will enjoy a movie day on June 11 to cap off a fantastic year! As always, thank you for all you do, and please contact us to share any feedback, questions, or concerns. Enjoy your weekend, and we look forward to seeing everyone on Monday.

School Board Unanimously Adopts the FCPS 2025-26 Budget

The Fairfax County School Board unanimously adopted the FCPS Fiscal Year 2025-26 Approved Budget. Facing years of chronic underfunding, the final budget required $121 million in reductions to the needs-based budget that was carefully developed with the FCPS community’s high expectations in mind. While these cuts and reductions will impact our classes, the school division will continue to do what is necessary to provide a world-class education for every student.
