🧸Save the Date: Kindergarten Orientation!
We are excited to welcome our newest Kangas!
Kindergarten Orientation will be held on April 10 at 9:30 AM. This is a wonderful opportunity for incoming kindergarten students and their families to visit the school, meet our staff, and learn more about what to expect in the year ahead.
More details will be shared soon — we can’t wait to meet our future kindergarten families!
Family Engagement Survey
FCPS will administer our third Family Engagement Survey from Monday, March 9 to Monday, March 23. The survey is designed to gather data for Strategic Plan Pillar B: Vibrant Home, School, and Community Partnerships; and to better recognize, understand, respect, and address family strengths and needs in our schools and community.
The survey will also be used to measure FCPS's current success with family engagement and allow us to deepen that engagement and continue building trust while empowering families to support their students’ success.
Parents/caregivers should have received an email invitation with a unique survey link from FCPS on March 9. The subject line was: FCPS Family Engagement Survey. The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes.
A general survey link families can use is also available on FCPS’ website.
Social-Emotional Learning Screener
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) believes in supporting social and emotional learning (SEL) for all students. In FCPS, students use a tool called the SEL Screener to think about their own SEL skills and experiences at school.
Keene Mill students in grades 3-6 will be participating in the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener this spring just as they did last fall. The screener will be offered to students between March 18-23 during their school day.
After each screening, results are available in the Documents tab of SIS ParentVUE and mailed to families without a ParentVUE account. For more information about the SEL Screener, including information on opting out, please visit the county’s Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener webpage, or contact Sandi Yost, Counselor and SEL Lead, at 703-644-4735.
📸📸Spring Picture Day
Victor O'Neill will be taking individual Spring Pictures and class photos on Monday, March 16, 2026.
You will be able to view and order your child’s photos in their online gallery approximately ten days after picture day. If you have any questions leading up to picture day, please reach out to Victor O’Neill Studios by emailing Underclass@vosphoto.com
