Hello Families!
Last week may have been short, but our amazing 4th graders made the most of it with a magical field trip to the Kennedy Center filled with beautiful music! 🎻🎵
Both playgrounds have been upgraded to be handicap accessible so all our Eagles can soar together! 🦅💚
Reminder: Tomorrow (Tues, 11/11) is Veterans Day — a student holiday.
📅 Wednesday (11/12) is a 3-hour early release — dismissal at 12:35 PM.
We’ll use our updated dismissal list, but if your child’s plan has changed, please call the main office at 703-925-8000. ☎️
💚Soaring Beyond,
Dr. Brittany Rogers, Principal
Mrs. Ashley Fisher, Assistant Principal
 Our Lost & Found is overflowing with the latest in Forest Edge fashion — gorgeous hoodies, snuggly jackets, and maybe even that sweatshirt your child swore they didn’t lose. 😉
If your student has been coming home a little chillier than usual, there’s a good chance their favorite hoodie is hanging out in the Forest Edge Lost & Found (a.k.a. the cafeteria).
Feel free to stop by next week during arrival to browse and reclaim your child’s long-lost treasures. 🧥👚
Let’s reunite these stylish items with their rightful owners before they form their own clothing club! 😂

Attendance is an important life skill that will help your child later in life. It’s a good habit to build now that will help them graduate on time and help them with time management. Parents and families can play a big role in helping kick-start good attendance habits.
Please take a look at the FCPS Calendar. Try to schedule any trips or family events on weekends and school holidays. Keep in mind that absences add up quickly. Students who are absent 10% of the school year (or just two days per month) are considered “chronically absent.”
When possible, schedule appointments for your child outside of school hours. If your child needs to miss school because of an illness or appointment, you must report the absence to our school.
FCPS is asking all families to fill out a Federal Impact Aid Survey. The form is available in SIS ParentVUE under Online Packets, which is in the upper right corner of the screen after logging in. Please complete it as soon as possible. We will provide paper forms to families who have not completed the survey in ParentVUE starting Wednesday, November 12.
Completing this form for each school-aged child in every household is important. This year, FCPS expects to receive approximately $4 million in Impact Aid funding. These funds are used to support all Fairfax County public schools and centers.
For more information, visit the Federal Impact Aid Survey page.
Register for ParentVUE
Learn how to activate your SISParentVUE account, so you can easily submit your survey and have access to other helpful information about your child.
Technical support for using ParentVUE or submitting the survey online is available by submitting a Parent Support Request ticket. Select SISParent in the Application dropdown menu and type “Federal Impact Aid Survey” in the Issue Description section. You may also call the Parent Technology Help Desk at 833-921-3277 (833-921-FCPS).
Due to the overwhelming response from our community, FCPS is temporarily pausing fingerprint requirements for most Level 3 volunteers.
If you are scheduled for an upcoming fingerprinting appointment, please cancel your appointment unless you are a mentor, host parent, or non-parent volunteer having frequent, direct, and unsupervised contact with students, which will still require fingerprinting. FCPS will be charged if individuals miss a fingerprinting appointment without canceling in advance.
Those who have already been fingerprinted will be processed to be eligible for all Level 3 opportunities.
Field trip chaperone opportunities will now be classified as Level 2 (not requiring a background check).
To ensure continuous safety, all new volunteers are required to sign a Volunteer Certification Statement. This statement is a legal attestation confirming you have no history of violent felonies, physical/sexual crimes against children, or crimes of moral turpitude.
Want to volunteer? Visit Volunteer FCPS to find and sign up for volunteer opportunities. Contact Volunteers@fcps.edu with any questions.
The Gradebook in SIS ParentVUE and StudentVUE will be closed for the end of the first quarter from Friday, October 31, 4 p.m. to Monday, November 10, 6 a.m. Activate your ParentVUE account to easily access grade reports.
