Dear Cardinal Families,
June is here, and we can practically feel the summer break on the horizon! We've had such a fantastic year of learning, growth, and community, and we're so proud of everything our students have accomplished.
As we head into these final few days, we've packed our newsletter full of important information to help you prepare for the break and ensure a smooth close to the school year. It includes details on upcoming events, end-of-year procedures, summer learning resources, and much more.
We're looking forward to finishing strong with all of you!
Warmly,
Allison Hoak, Principal
Jon Kemmerer, Assistant Principal

How the results are delivered depends on the test. Scores will be delivered in SIS ParentVUE or from the school or testing organization. Learn what to expect regarding assessment reporting practices and timelines.
Visit FCPS’ website for additional information about how test results are reported to families. Individual test websites provide report translations and help for interpreting test results.
