Dear Sleepy Hollow Families,

I hope this message finds you and your loved ones well. As we move forward together this school year, I want to take a moment to share my gratitude and highlight the wonderful things happening across our Sleepy Hollow community.

Every day, I am inspired by the joy, resilience, and curiosity your children bring through our doors. Their energy fuels our work, and your partnership strengthens everything we do. Thank you for trusting us, supporting us, and being such an important part of our “We Are Family” culture.

Celebrating Our Students

Our Dolphins have been working hard—whether they’re growing as readers and mathematicians, engaging in thoughtful discussions, or showing kindness to a classmate. Their progress reflects the dedication of our talented staff and the support they receive at home.

Attendance Matters

We continue to focus on strong daily attendance. Thank you for helping your child arrive on time each day, ready for learning. Every day truly makes a difference.

Partnering for Success

Parent–teacher communication is essential, and we encourage you to reach out to your child’s teacher with any questions or needs. We are here for you, and we value your voice.

A School Community Like No Other

I am so proud of the warmth and unity that define Sleepy Hollow. Whether helping with homework, volunteering at events, or reminding your child of our CREST expectations—Caring, Respect, Engagement, Safety, and Teamwork—your partnership makes a lasting impact.

Thank you for your continued support, trust, and collaboration. Together, we will ensure that every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to do their best.

With appreciation and care,
Mirnaly Vega
Principal, Sleepy Hollow Elementary School
“We Are Family”


✅ Return Your Federal Impact Aid Survey

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.
