A Message from Principal Crews

Dear Hollin Meadows Parents/Guardians,

On Monday, April 6, you will receive an email with a link to the FCPS Principal Evaluation Parent/Guardian Feedback Form. This questionnaire is part of the Performance Evaluation Program and provides an opportunity for you to share anonymous feedback on key aspects of our school, including:

  • Instructional leadership
  • School climate
  • Management (human resources and organizational)
  • Communication and community relations
  • Culturally responsive and equitable leadership
  • Professionalism

The questionnaire will be open April 6 - April 19 and will be collected online. When you receive the email from noreply@fcps.edu, please take a few minutes to complete it. Your feedback is important to me and helps shape the future of our school. Thank you for your time and participation. 

Sincerely,

Jasibi Crews, Principal

Assistant Principal Appreciation Week

This week is officially Assistant Principal Appreciation Week, and we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible impact that AP Gilley and AP Seidenberg have on our students, staff, and families every single day.

Our Assistant Principals are the engines that keep our school moving forward. From greeting students as they arrive at school to solving playground mysteries and supporting our teachers in the classroom, their energy and dedication make our school a brighter place to learn. They work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our hallways safe, our routines running smoothly, and encouraging students to be their best selves.

Thank you, AP Gilley and AP Seidenberg, for everything you do to make Hollin Meadows the best place to be! 🐝
